it's gotta suck when you start a race and crash into the barrier seconds after the start.

[skimmer1972]

when BTCC was proper not like now with all there silly rules and regulations how can it be competative when there are 2 different types of car turbo and normally asperated bring back the v6

[nexgenhippy]

Them Volvo's sounded amazing going up the straight...

[Deeksin]

they didnt use v6 engines the fords was one of the only teams that did they where 2ltr saloons

[Oranoco]

@Deeksin . Spot in. Ford actually used a sleeved Mazda V6 (Ford own Mazda) to bring the capacity down to the required 2 litre for the series.

[DRZREALEST]

BTCC should go back to the saloons with v6 engines 4wd....not this tiny cars (civic 3 door?).. i stopped watching btcc when honda, nissan and volvo left.. it was not the same after that.

[nickyp28]

@DRZREALEST

These cars are 2ltr Front Wheel Drive, much like the Super 2000 cars of today..

[vinnie01]

@DRZREALEST what do you make of the new for 2011 ngtc? 2 litre turbo engines full 4 door saloons ??

[nickyp28]

@DRZREALEST These things in this video are FWD with 2ltr 4 cyl. Engines (with 5 cyl. in the Volvo) which produce around 320-340hp ;)

[Lyricoholic]

[Jackwewo]

I just reinstalled it on my CPU! Great games! :D

[Lyricoholic]

yeah, thats right

i only had it on PSone

want it for pc

[munro56]

Me too!!! Infield at Duffus.............bloody freezing but great racing!!!!those were the days!!!! a bit lacking now.

[FooAtari]

Last few years before BTCC totally went down the toilet. Great racing, loads of manufacture support and professional drivers.

I was at that race, damn freezing that day

[interludepl]

Total pandemonium & pure racing. Most of that stuff gone away, with the '90-ties. BTCC, F1, WRC - they're all only slight glimpses of their previous glory.

[discodan200sx]

I was there that day... I miss the BTCC that year, I was pretty young at the time but damn I remember it well, the Mondeos were my favourite

[amccal]

i was there and really loved that green laguna

[NitroMikeo]

I LOVE YOU

Touring cars was at its best back then. Now its terrible.

[BounceBackAbility89]

i partly agree, it was better back then with so much manufacture backing made it highly competitive, i think now, it lacks the manufacturers, but the racing itself is just as exciting to watch, but whats against it is it takes rules to grid positions to make variety in race winners rather than a vauxhall and SEAT.

[micholly]

I WAS THERE! See the bit that comes off of Clelands car? I have that in my bedroom, a bit of chrome that has GM written on the back.

[thejpmshow]

A shame Anthony Reid didn't win it that year. Tried damn hard!!

[fontheking3]

NO Rickard Rydell deserved that win after so much trying

[fontheking]

The Audi sounded much better in 1998 than it did before
