Ódor, outperforming the car as always. Brilliant driver, was taken from us. Stupid god, we wanted him a bit longer.

Damn that sucks for the blue Toyota team. Shouldn't you give your teammate, who's in front of you, some room?

[mosc7pc2]

Vettel must've watched this clip before he crashed into weber last season lol

Tiff Needell passing at 7:41

I wasn't expecting the Toyota Crash, it came from nowhere, hahaha

[TangmereTornado]

I always reckon you can tell the popularity and success of a series by the grid size - whilst F1 still struggles to get 20 competitive cars on the grid every race, current V8 Supercars, WTCC and Superstars Series (V8 touring car series originiating in Italy) pack out their grids with 30+ cars. Look at how great the BTCC was in these days - a huge grid.

[DANATRINGWOOD]

you will never get asmany touring cars in one race now back then everyone had team mates now not all the teams do

[leebot3000]

cars off everywhere and not a safety car in sight. beautiful.

[aylesburyapeboy]

the drivers on the front 3 grid positions are no longer with us, god bless them.

[anttrap321]

@aylesburyapeboy who are they? did they die from racing?

[aylesburyapeboy]

@anttrap321

Keith O'dor - 1995, racing accident in Germany

Will Hoy - 2002, brain tumour

David Leslie - 2008, plane crash

All were great drivers and genuinely some of the nicest guys in motorsport.

[kremmen64]

wow look at that crowd, i know it was the same weekend as the British GP but this race seems to have the same amount of people that was watching the British GP.

[matthewmaloney1]

Thanks for this the BTCC in 93 was fantastic!

[Ceedrun]

Old BTCC is a bit like the WTCC, isn't it?

[TangmereTornado]

@Ceedrun I'd say the current WTCC is the best super touring series right now, the BTCC has really gone down the drain in the last few years, its just become a glorified hot hatch destruction derby, with not much skill involved, and the best drivers all win a few races there then launch into the WTCC - notice how Priaulx didnt make much of an impact in the BTCC, but has become multiple world champion. In the 90s the BTCC was the greatest. Andy Rouse is a legend behind the wheel of a saloon car :)

Bailey's gas pedal must have been stuck ;-)

[Auditarius]

I love the "old" BTCC.

I used to have a Nissan Primera P10 eGT SR20DE in the early 90s. Then a Nissan Sunny RNN14 SR20DET. Great cars!

Now I've got a BMW E90 330i - it's nice, it's perfect, of course.

But with those Nissans I had much more fun. Love the old Nissans :-)

Greetings from Germany

[DANATRINGWOOD]

they never got the pace car on all them crashes these days they would of lost a few laps

[thiscocks]

Bailey was way too hot going in...

[theberengersniper]

At the start he says "it was an all Nissan front row" and yet you can see he lines up next to a Toyota, then Murray reviews the grid and it's a Toyota number 2.

[U2FAN1992]

"The car upsidedown is a Toyota!"

Nice one Murray!
