the old btcc was the best

the same as the old f1 from the 70's and back.

nowadays everything is just to clinical and technical

agreed!

Love the way they can run each other off the road in BTCC and it goes down as 'a racing incident' :p

I've been a BTCC fan from 1994. I'm pretty happy with the way it is now. I'm glued to my TV. The only time i didn't like it was the transition in the rules after 2000. The last three years have been great.

Yeah im a mid 90s BTCC fan but defo not the current state. Same as with F1, pre 1998 it was awesome, would ya get Alonso in a Super Aguri challenging Kimi like Hill did with Schumi in 97? No.

When would you ever see a Volvo 850 T5 estate or any estate again in touring cars? Never. Or like the aformentioned 550bhp cossie?

I grew up also playing BTCC and F1 on the PlayStation, and loved diving that Laguna around, but then when TOCA race driver was out, it wasnt the same driving a Lexus, or the Rover.

I met rydell in 96 at the motor show, i was in awe, only 10 then too!

New BTCC is just pish.

mid 90's btcc was the bomb. watching mansell at donny in the wet still amazes me today.

i still enjoy watching it, but it ain't like it used to be (rings true for a lot of things though)

I remember mansell in the wet. Poor lad locked the breakes and went flying strigh off the road, remember it took him a few moments to get out the car, with him being such a fat twat back then. Poor lad could not fit in a McLaren on 95 :)

It was so much beter than today like most other forms of motorsport really.

I haven't watched any BTCC for the last few years, when I did watch it I used to love watching Menu (when he drove for renault) Rydell, Reid, Cleland and muller. Those were the most entertaining years!

from them clips it was obviously even, competitive racing, that anybody had a chance to win! you could see they all wanted it desperately non of this tactical crap lol.

they sound very nice also! was a bit young to remember this properly but it is amazing, i think the contact aspect makes it even more exciting tho
