- Firstly, apologies for the quality of the transfer, its an old tape and a bit crinkly! (I could prob do with a new pc to) Its irritating, but far from unwatchable
Which is good because 92 was an excellent season, prob one of the most memorable ever, certainly for me. Close racing, plenty of incident, some excellent quotes from Murray, all building to the climax im sure were all familiar with :) I was still at school so had free weekends to religiously watch the coverage on grandstand, drama from the start and arguably the most intense final three rounds of any season, in any class, before or since!
1) Silverstone
2) Thruxton
3) Oulton Park
4) Snetterton
This is hands down one of the best BTCC seasons ever
You are an absolute legend for uploading this, I've only ever seen the infamous final round and didn't realise how dominant the Toyotas were at times. I love the BTCC, truly these were the golden years
No worries, pity it's not better quality picture though. Rouse and hoy were fast, what could of been if they hadn't both gone off at brands! Steve Soper was the fastest driver of the year. Interesting anecdote that's not on the vid, Vic Lee, the guy who ran the bmws, and the Labbatts cars prior to that, was found guilty of smuggling cocaine halfway through the season! They used to test at zandvoort and on the way back over he hid it in the trailers, strangely the team were allowed to continue and ultimately win.
Vic Lee never came back though and ac schnitzer became the bmw team
@@LeCrawf i may be wrong but I think Vic Lee did have a slight dabble as a team manager in btcc in the early 2000's, then got caught smuggling again. I don't mean to be heartless but the police noticing the constant (and seemingly unneeded) testing at Zandvoort being one of the reasons he was under suspicion does make me laugh a little.
Ps i will agree that you're a legend for uploading this. Im still partially locked down and am unsurprisingly going out of my mind. Things like this make it so much better!
Hope you're good and staying safe.
@@MrMiD.Life.Crisis sorry I didn't reply much sooner!
I didn't know that about Vic, leopards never change their spots!
Hope your out of all the lockdown stuff now, it's been a strange few years. I'm going to try upload some more seasons but most of the vids are from Duke publications and they block them all!
Thanks for uploading these, I was at Outlon in '92, great memories! I was on the start/finish straight so had no idea what happened to Cleland on lap 1 at the time!
I'm kind of enjoying the VHS quality. It makes this video feel like even more of a time machine!
14:11 In-car interview during the actual race ... don't see that much in BTCC, although Cleland ended up always matching his doggedly competitive driving with sharp-tongued interviews over the years, and frequently got the screen time as a result. (Plato, similarly, later on.) Vauxhall incredibly reliable underneath Cleland, too. Years and years, he was just there. I always loved the fact that the Cavalier looked so uncomplicated. No spoiler, no problem.
“‘You’re ahead and I’m second to you!’ says Keith O’Dor!” - LMAO! 😂
14:14 John Cleland giving an interview during a race? What a badass.
5:47 OMG
Great stuff, what was the new chicane built for at Oulton Park?
Sorry about delay replying!
Aye the chicane is a bit of a nerf, think it's for the bikes really, too help overtaking and that corner is well far with very little run off. The cars should take the bend though, especially if they use the island chicane /hairpin
In 1991 Paul Warwick(brother of ex F1 driver Derek) had a fatal crash at Knickerbrook during a F3000 race is it was decided to built a chicane there to slow the cars down although until at least 2004 motorcycles bypassed the chicane
What is the music called? Please let me know. Thank you.
Sorry I honestly can't tell you anything about the music, theres no creditation on the box or tape!
It's a 'sports seen' video, SSV 322, maybe it's on archive somewhere. Other than that, no idea sorry. It is a pretty cool tune
czcams.com/video/xWILOWjbfJw/video.html was used in numerous review videos around the early 90s, this one’s from the f1 94 vid
7:26 - it ain't the crash that did his neck, its was that hair cut. O my days!
Was Tim Sugden even penalised for that shunting, both of Rob Gravett (Peugeot) and later of Keith O'Dor (Nissan)?
