Favourite BTCC memory
so guys this is a post for you all to add your favourite memory from the btcc.
for me my favourite memory had to be birmingham 1990 watching at halfords on the big screen as a rather irate john cleand helpfully removed frank sytner from his car by his head. i dont condone violence in any form but that was pretty funny to see. tim harvey also pulled up alongside the screen and watched the bout happen clealry lauging inside his sierra. the bbc didnt show nerarly half of what we fans trackside witnessed.
for racing i have to say i go back in time again and think the 1990 snet race in its entrity is also a fantastic memory also.
off topic a bit now and for the mad monk. the slow down lap at the end of the 1990 birmingham tvr tuscan race was also pretty spectacular. if sure you know what i mean.Mark Heron, a great friend and top bloke, you will be sadly missed

My favourite memory is Giovanardi at Knockhill 2006 race 2. Pure class, and lots of carnage.

My best memory is my 1st ever touring car meet at Thruxton in 2001. Not a classic year but seeing the cars on the limit through the 1st turn was awsome!

Watching the 94 YIR videos when the Volvo estate was first presented to the media, the cameras caught a lot of drivers with smirks or using their hands to cover their mouths (from shock or wanting to laugh out loud). Anyone else recall that?

My earliest favourite memory, since 2001, would have to be Croft 2004.
I went to Croft thinking virtually "Here we go again. Another lesson in racing from VXR." I never gave my team at the time WSR a chance. Though Reidy had been quite competitive. But Anthony somehow managed to outpace the Vauxhall's of Yvan and Thommo in Race 1.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

Donington 99
Brands, October 2005
Also for some mad reason the decider in 2001, God knows why, the weather was horrible, certainly one of those when the memory is a lot better than the actually event.Jim Raynor will be returning soon!

Hey Gravett!
Yep,that slow down lap was rather amusing!At Halfords,got it on the marbles,took off the door mirror and a few scratches right in front of the missus,the sponsor(Charlie Middlton and his wife)and.....Stefan!!!
Everytime I go into Brum now with Stef,we go past Halfords hairpin,and he ALWAYS takes the proverbial!!
End result was I was up in front of the FIA steward and CofC with Jean Alesi and Kurt Luby;all fined 500usd for doing doughnuts at Halfords!
Ah well,I still won it and enjoyed myself!rev.limit
we see this more and more and I think it's utterly stupid. One small mistake that would normally make you lose a little like a bend wheel time will now completely ruin your rally because you can't...
