chucking old long heavy cars around a track like that, especially a Ford Capri, without a single drivers aid and in the wet, what incredible drivers and masters of their art!!!

I didn't know Mazda RX-7 and Ford Capri is classified as saloon cars in Britain

FORD Capri's PMSL

Good grief. I have to ask some questions: - How awesome were the sounds from those Capri V6's and Rover V8's? - Would it be great to see the BTCC back in Mallory Park, however unlikely it may be? - How many cars were on that Thruxton Grid? I counted 32!! - Those old Dunlops and Goodyears must have been screaming in agony, how did the drivers keep those cars planted without so much as any sign of aero? - What's the deal with Neville Hay's pronunciation of chicane? - Who's the better car tuner, Gordon Spice or Andy Rouse? (Actually I can answer that one - it's Andy, at that time the World's Fastest Coventrian)

Bruh Wtf

Interesting pronunciation of chicane 😂

The Mazda was the best performing car of the bunch.

Remember the sound of Toms Mazda.

I live 2 miles away from Mallory and used to hear the racing every Sunday from my house

Great stuff. Never heard the word 'chicane' pronounced as 'shi-carn' before! 😆

Shikarn 😂

Into the shick arn!

Top vid Deace !

REAL MAN RACING

Chicarrrne???!!! Did that presenter know anything about motorsport?

If you can't listen properly don't put subtitles that don't make sense , great video !!

Gordon Spice didn’t like mice

Saloons? I saw a bunch of hatch backs. Fiesta. Escort. Rover sd1? A saloon is a car with a boot. No lifting parcel shelf but a propper get in the boot kids there's no room sized boot. Them were the days. I actually hated it when we had the cortinas and saphs as a kid. Much preferred the hatch so it stil felt like I'm in the car

Superb vid again chunt' thay reckons. When's the next one?

Mental..

Them miwters shiffs diwn't thaey maet..

Unfortunately in the first races at mallory they don’t show footage of the racing elsewhere on the circuit

The 80s and 90s where the best era for btcc

Love it,i remember seeing this as a boy. Fantastic,thanks for posting 😆😆

Is the commentator Neville Hay ?

can't believe they raced at Mallory Park, it's tiny

Chic, chic chicane..chic chic chicane!. No safety cars, no unnecessary argey bargey..Just proper racing.

Loved this era of driving sports but [ Golly gee old boy I must say that those "Sha-Cans" do present themselves a little wriggly 🤣

LOVE Capri !! Regarts from Germany

Music by Carl Davis: 'The ibbu At War'

A fantastic blast from the past ! Thank you ☺️

Enjoyed this flashback, thank you!

Oh i say Mr chumley warner i do love a good “sheeeeercarne” what a Pratt

Either the editing sucks balls or british televising sucked. This is pathetic. Look up some old Australian touring car championship racing. These cars would have been backmarkers. Capris on the front row lol.

"pass slower cars with gay abandon" LOL

Where the fuck is Oaton Park, and does it have a shire-karn?

I still miss my Capri after 22 years! MK3 in red, just like in the video. One of the best cars I ever had!

As much as I love the American (USA) motor vehicle technology, I would rather watch the British and the Australian races. Too bad about the non event V8 Supercars. You might as well be bored by the Formula 1.

Unfortunately the Capri V6 Engines burned the tops of the Pistons.

Weres Pt 2

i wish he STFU ...

40 years ago you couldn't get on British TV without a royal accent like this

I still have Vince Woodman's race winning Tricentrol cap - I was a young pit marshal then.

ffs...chicane.....its not hard to say..............

3:40

Neville Hay, what the hell was the whole Chicane now = Sher Karn

The Capri's Engine's sound awesome! This era the car's sounded so awesome!!!

Has anyone found racing footage of , Mick Hill's Templar Tillers VW Beetle..!?

Along with Gordon Spice were his team Speedbird teammates, Gabriel Konig, Alec Poole, Mike Crabtree, Dave Broodie and lots of other famous British drivers. You can read more here> content.yudu.com/Library/A1v15b/FASTLANE2012/resources/79.htm

Gordon Spice not only raced in the UK but he came down here to the Caribbean back in the early 70s much to the enjoyment of motor racing fans here in Guyana and Barbados. Thank you Gordon for the time spent with us.
