The All-Australasian squad of drivers has been assembled by a selection panel from across Australia and New Zealand.

Self-appointed chairman of selectors Toby McKinnon came up with the idea to create some fun discussion and instructed judges to pick their leading drivers with consideration to performances from the past 18 months.

The selection committee included Jason Bonnington (VIC), Fred Hastings (NSW), Darren Clayton (QLD), Jim Jacques (SA), Matt Young (WA), Jamie Cockshutt (TAS) and Jonny Turner (NZ).

The All-Australasian squad was revealed across SEN Track’s TrotsLife show on Wednesday and Thursday.

McKinnon said there were a number of notable absentees from the AA squad that deserved honorable mentions, including: Wayne Hill (SA), Grant Dixon (QLD), Shane Graham (QLD), Blake Jones (NSW), Robbie Morris (NSW), Emily Suvaljko (WA), Mark Purdon (NZ), John Dunn (NZ), David Butcher (NZ), Kate Gath (VIC), Mark Pitt (VIC), Kerryn Manning (VIC) and Conor Crook (TAS).
