love how slammed and functional theyre ...

This was the peak of Super Touring, unfortunately the end was soon near. '95 and '98 were my favourite Super Touring seasons.

Used to get home from work and stay up till easily morning to watch the replays, it was the 97 season that got me hooked and I actually remember watching parts of this race. Thanks for sharing.

Loved watching this on a Sunday afternoon as a kid!

RIP David Leslie true gent

Top notch drivers and cars in 90s. Watch thousand replay never get bored

R.I.P David Leslie

From the US glad to see the entire race. BTCC would be shown in the US on Speedvision (Speed Channel) in chopped up form putting 3 races in one hour format

Back when BTCC was at its best. Al through the 90’s the racing was great. Hard racing, shoulder to shoulder nudges and rear end taps. Made the races far more exciting than they are today. Heck, I bought a Play Station and and TOCA just to play it early in the morning before races started. Great days. I always supported Jason Plato from his first drive. What a driver.

This is so super furious,much love from these driving artistry💗👍

Thank you for posting!

I like this era so much.

Jason Plato hasn't changed at all! :D

10:05 race start

God I love and miss this type of racing 😢

I could watch this all night every night. You got any more to upload Ian ?

Isn't that the crash from the ToCA 2 game intro at 3:00?

I think the whole intro is based on real footage. Example, where the laguna is right up the accords trumpet, then the quattro appears out of nowhere. I still remember seeing that to this day on Grandstand, but with different cars. What a game & series.

I went to Snetterton every year from 96 to 06, best years for touring cars

Plato turned hard left into Leslie at Redgate 😂...what a tosser

Cleland took the final two race wins in 1998 before announcing his retirement a year later

Loved these day.tickets curtacy of Yokohama tyres.proper racing..used to sit but the spitfire

The camber of the wheels on some of these cars is insane lol

This was real racing

you got any more of these?

Just wish they would remaster the TOCA race series I had all the toca race games on ps2 just wish they would put them on ps4 or 5

I love the fact that they didn't trust Charlie Cox enough to give him a car for the lap description, in case he wrote another one off 😅

Amazing era 🥲

You could actually have most of these cars in Gran Turismo 2. Racing modifications put them in their BTCC colours. The Peugeot 406 was the quickest and best handling, the Nissan Primera was the only BTCC estate car in the game.

I strongly feel that British touring car is number one and that the United States to ring cars fell off because they don't run too many touring cars everything is GTP GT PA and things like that and I really enjoy British touring car and I think it's number one they're using sedans and Coupes and it's just the old school way of cheering car Road endurance handling and I'm a number one for it and I supported her all times

Sad that plato has come out of it now, he was the only one from this era to have been still in the championship. next year there will be no one from the 90s at all in the championship racing, Matt Neal i cannot see returning now at all.

Plato can't help but lie through his teeth - he completely lost control and took out Leslie!

Might want to get those eyes checked. Leslie didn't leave any room and just turned in, do you suppose Plato can make his car disappear?

You just got me. I love these cars. Do you know how to watch a full season?

When I was a kid in kindergarten and we were asked to draw a car most kids drew one of those square salon cars of the 70s and 80s even though they were far out of fashion by that point... ...I saw a kid draw a car the other day ... he drew an eggplant on two wheels 😞

Was the greatest of championships. From a spectators point of view. From 93-98. I know these ain't homologation rules. But who agrees homologated race cars make things even better? Even if FIA say 150 productions models must be made. Would make Motorsport exciting again. P.s Australian commentators side by side with Eddie Jordan would be the perfect btcc coverage.

Not to mention that a decent amount of the tech in these cars could make it over into street versions. The engine in that Honda is closely related to the f20b used in performance variants from 97 to 01 for example. Given that the s2000 used an F series based engine as well, I assume the developments of this car had a part in that engine as well as the K series that took a lot of its engineering from the s2000 engine.

Always & its so annoying. He could have easily slowed down and fall in behind the Nissan as it seems the Nissan was ahead and into the corner first. Plato clearly punted Leslie off in retaliation and the move blew back up in his Plato's face so how he thinks he's the innocent one i don't know. He tried a foul move and it played out not how he thought it would
