The Greatest collection of Super Tourers EVER Goodwood High-Speed Demo

[@sprintermaximus]

I watched BTCC daily as a kid. I was addicted. This was pretty special to see.

[@fabulousprofound]

+sprintermaximus same here. "are you doing your homework?!?" "NO MOM BTCC IS ON THE TELLY!!!"

[@ledgendsrus]

John Cleland is just a stellar interview every time. He’s a fan and a competitor, he gives you a sympathetic feeling of excitement that’s addicting.

[@LethalJizzle]

How great is it to hear the drivers talk about how excited they are to hop back in their old cars. They're so passionate of about it, I can't imagine many F1 drivers being that excited.

Lap 1 - Wave to the crowd. Lap 2 - tyre warming. Lap 3 - red mist. :-)

I used to love watching this back in the late 90's even though i lived in brooklyn, new york at the time, i was totally into btcc. these were based on working class cars, front wheel drive four cylinder cars that average people could actually buy stock at the dealer and then modify to resemble the race cars.

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

+MrTimeless101 I used to have an Infiniti G20 (P10 Chassis/First Gen.) which is the European/Japanese Nissan Primera and I drooled when I would see the P10 Primera's in JTCC/BTCC and STCC (Swedish). But as much as the body resembled the car it represented, underneath there were little to any similarities or carryover pieces used in the race car versions. Similar to today's DTM or Australian V8 Supercars, these are purebreed race cars through and through and cost well over half a million a piece. The 90s though for saloon car racing was definitely one of the best eras and will never again be replicated. As exciting as current BTCC is and don't get me wrong it is still some of the best racing to be found anywhere, the sheer number of competitors in this era and the competition as a whole was just something else not to mention the machinary being used.

[@benoitpeloquin1910]

Totally man. I'm from Montreal and this is racing

[@mikuelable]

Don't forget bmw rwd platform and audi had the AWD platform

[@aisrael13]

[@alanhindmarch4483]

This was my favourite era of touring cars, i met John Cleland at Croft the Year after his second championship, first year of the Vectra.

[@jiipee7491]

All of these cars were affordable normal family saloon's. And they made these beautye's out of them! That was one reason why these were so great. You could resemble yourself as a BTCC -Racer with low price. In real life these were normal "boring" daily drivers, but as a racing cars, they were the best!

[@kinloch7332]

I love this - I was obsessed with BTCC. Thanks for posting. (BTW anyone else hearing a tad of Partridge in the commentary presenters (but with much more knowledge) ?)

[@rasstor]

Honda accord VI is beautiful !!! Epic car !

[@JB-dy2sq]

These are proper Touring Cars and I love them 😍

[@mikuelable]

I was born 1994 really sat down watching btcc 98 really special moment

[@taketimeout2share]

Renault Laguna. Always my 1st choice in TOCA 2.

[@TheGamingDefinition]

Look at these cars, absolutely beautiful

[@dtofq]

Damn do I miss this type of racing! Great memories

[@ProGrindCAMSHAFTS]

Carina E is my favorite touring car. Mainly because how the underdog is driven hard

[@cheongkitvong7449]

Great Video 👍

[@BigFanofCars]

Just like the old days!

[@rickpelland3768]

How do they go about what the cars can have for power or drive train to make a race? I'd like to know more about that part. Earlier I watched a mustang vs mini race that was amazing, but how did that start. I want to know more history

[@Wesley_C]

I have played 2 TOCA games and gran turismo 2, what I've modified these touring cars when I was young, like driving Honda Accord and Nissan Primera.

[@benkay8295]

Proper touring cars with proper engines. I wish they would hurry up and make a time machine

[@ps36081]

anyone remember Smokin' Joe Winklehock?

[@Zero_Ninety]

Who doesn't? Always either winning or spinning off, never much inbetween..

[@David-ki6jq]

Oh yes. Smokin Joe was my childhood hero in btcc. A true racer who gave it 100% until the chequered flag.

[@BudleyBailey]

my first car was a holden (vauxhall) vectra just like the one at the beginning, awesome.

[@stimfalc]

What are those artifacts flashing on the video?

[@muhann4d]

that look @ 10:21 LOL

[@fill7t1]

The best era for btcc!

[@MDDeGrande1994]

What's that thing on the red Vectra's roof?

[@DonForceFeedback]

I assumed it would be where they would mount a camera? (rear facing)

[@raptorsquad5363]

LAGUNA 💪

[@anthony342]

awesome ...

[@taketimeout2share]

Peoples alligance was to whichever car they preferred in TOCA 2. The penny still hasn't dropped that TOCA 2 did more to publicise this than TV or the actual tournament. Of course the real thing is fabulous but millions love it because of the game, without which it would be no more popular than Saturday afternoon wrestling.

[@tadficuscactus]

Are they all front wheel drive apart for the Audi?

[@karelpipa]

yeah.

[@trentweston8306]

Is racing like this still done in the UK and Europe? I know that there is a production improved class in Australia. Very very exciting racing

[@caddyshackhonda]

There are various series' from what I can tell. CTCRC is what you want to look out for I think.

[@cun7sathome]

Btcc is still going.

[@lordrothenburg7450]

Nissan ♥️

[@davequinn2369]

Top men.

[@R33Racer]

Is the film grain really nessasary? It's annoying and tacky.

[@SK8antonio99]

Unfortunately I wasn't born when this racing was in its heyday, oh how I wish the modern BTCC was just as nuts...

[@mrmistercharles]

Is that James May at 10:30?

[@MDDeGrande1994]

Where exactly?

[@Jack-lb8kl]

There are just so many people there wearing flatcaps. I fond it almost as distracting as the horrible vintage grain effect edited over the video.

[@EdiDrums]

Oh do buck up, Jack old fellow: we've got the helicopter ride straight after this demo, and then some more Bellinis

[@feydespiel.]

It's part of the look....ie: period.

[@sayerma]

As soon as big aero kits were added, it was ruined. Drivers too scared to tap another car and break something. Australia series the Supercars, they've stayed away from really complicated aero kits and as a result its great racing.

[@jeanfresco5667]

I remember this series back in the day, just incredible racing. Fucking ugly crowd though.

[@leeg131313]

That audi showing why 4wd was banned haha

[@hippo4g93]

Who dislikes a video of cars safely racing on a closed circuit ? Either your amish or a tree higher .... either way you should not be on the internet watching videos

[@eugenelombard960]

Pathetic. No footage shown of the Alfa Romeo or Volvo S40. Phhht.

[@oscarsalazar310]

The aberrant number phenotypically dance because kitchen moberly look throughout a meaty toast. bent, happy stop
