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!!!

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)

70's til mid 90's when the cars looked like what you could actually buy! It's all been very un-touring car since then. Basically it ended up being silhouette racing and then town centre car park gang style racing like the rubbish we have now.

@@rhannay39 He's speaking in RP (received pronunciation), more commonly referred to as "BBC English". The criticism of his pronunciation is not unfounded. He is indeed pronouncing chicane incorrectly. Given that his only job here is to speak clearly and accurately in order to provide a useful commentary of events, one could fairly and accurately refer to the commentator as a prat (the official definition meaning "incompetent").

Bollocks. Neville specialised in one-off videos like this. He wasn't a regular TV commentator. Murray, Barry Gill, Steve Rider, and loads more dead normal blokes did nearly all the commentaries. David Coleman, Des Lynam, Dickie Davies, Barry Nutley, all had regional accents as did the local newscasters.
