Rest in peace Murray walker 1923-2021
One of the few moments in time when a category had it just right. This was a great era for touring cars .
If memory serves me right, the Volvo was the only car before this crash that had side impact bars. Thank goodness they did
Well Volvo focuses on safety
He was lucky it was RHD too, that was a big side impact
They had a few ideas there, like SIPS. Although I don't know whether the bars specifically did very much. Saving the car from collapse here is most likely the roll cage. I do not want to downplay Volvo's commitment to safety, however.
Side Impact Proctetion System.
This is when touring cars was touring cars. Super tourers.
Agreed, not what we have now, its a shadow of what BTCC used to be
Same for DTM.
@Burt Sampson And WTCC/WTCR.
Still got alot of vedieo tapes of the propper btcc
5:05
I like how Murray says "A bit of light engineering now" as the guy is hammering the bodywork back into shape.
Loved it when they put Murray Walker and Charlie Cox together.
In the folk race series in Denmark, someone hammering away with a sledgehammer on their car is refered to as "use of precision tools"...
Percussive maintenance....😁
Super Touring, and Murray Walker in the commentary box. Golden era of motorsport.
A match made in heaven, what a time we got to live eh 👍🏼
Those MK1 Renault Lagunas looked fantastic as Touring Cars
Most cars of this era looked good.
Even the Primera ,Mondeo Peugeot and the Accord.
Also some pretty mental power there on FWD cars as well.
There wasn't a bad looking 90's touring car, in my opinion.
Revalia didnt agree lmao, spent a lot of time trying to take them out
My mum and dad had one when I was a boy, we always played as the laguna on TOCA Touring Cars on the PlayStation. M640 AOT. Even remember the reg😂
"This is Radisich, there's a pea-souper inside his Ford Mondeo" a brilliant line from Murray Walker, telling it exactly like it is.
Probably my favourite class and era of motorsport, full stop, great memories.
Really like the sound of these 2 liter naturally aspirated engines, with around 300 hp.
These really were the days in Touring cars :)
Not as crazy as those Grp A racers
@@hybridAbsol better racing though
Yes
300 bhp? your of your rocker, the ford put out well over 500 Bhp and was capable of well north of 175mph
Well the Group A Sierra Cosworths were turbocharged, these ones are not...
1:31 Love the fact that the safety car was a Jaaaaaaaag
this was the only track racing i followed religiously. it was so much fun to watch always things happening
This was my era of BTCC and was great to watch , This years BTCC,2018, has shown me that now they have some competitive racing again , it will never compare to the glory days but def heading in right direction.
As an Aussie, I loved BTCC, growing up. Murray's voice is timeless. I loved Alain Menu and Jason Plato as drivers.
God i miss Super Touring cars, pure racing with international drivers. The car were monsters too
Love this Era of Touring cars :)
Those were the days! Miss the old touring cars and rivalries.
I miss this on TV on a Saturday afternoon on Grandstand ,in between the horse racing and the football results
Murray Walker commentating on BTCC was ace.
Super Era of Super Touring Cars
The most exciting era of touring cars by far
This is what racing was all about the btcc in the 90’s !
1:18 The power of Volvo's SIPS.
If Burt was on european left side, he would have been likely killed by the impact. Heavy deceleration...
@@nicopatrizi1953 well im surprised it didnt snap his neck either way. It was a heavy side impact after all and driver wear helmets which have some additional weight on the head.
Smokin' Jo, Crashdisich and others, the good days.
50% of the excitement is Murray’s commentary. Legend.
“Dumkopf he says”!🤣 God love you Murray!
When you look in your mirror and a Volvo 850 is breathing down your neck on a race track :D
James Thompson saying his cars “scrap” love it
love seeing volvos go fast
Fantastic memories, thanks for the compilation.
That was entertainment! Loved watching that on the TV back in the day!
Lovely stuff. Those Audi A4's courted quite a bit of controversy that season though with their Quattro system. Just like Alfa Romeo did back in the day with the spoilergate fiasco
You just couldn't beat the BTCC back in the day. Best racing in the world IMO. You need nerves of steal to even get in to one of those cars let alone be in a race!!!
I STILL LOVE WATCHING BTCC BUT BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS SO MUCH MORE EXCITING
Love these touring cars and stars of 90's - Love Winklehoff giving hand manking sign to biela at 0:44 and Murray Walkers excellent commentary
3:39 - not Leslie's finest maneuver...
TOCA 1 gameplay also was awesome (as reality was) forever in my mind and heart
Murray Walker was and always will be the voice of Motorsport
Best years of btcc.
Classic btcc Classic commentary 👌
Best Time of Touringcars ❤
BTCC and the STW
This is absolute gold! What a championship
80s and 90s: the best era of Motorsport 😍
90s BTCC was the best ever!
These drivers were insane.
Blaaaaaaddy hell this was a trip down memory lane! Anyone remember that btcc racing game with tiff’s voice on it… I remember all the drivers from that game. Those Renaults were iconic. All the cars were tbh… great vid. Thanks 🙏🏻 so
Smoking Jo Winkelhock mixing it up at his best. There was no medium ground - he won or he was involved in a collision :D
Nothing can stop the winkelrock!
Great great stuff!
that poor 850 :'( and burt lol
True but it's because it was a Volvo that was the reason Kelvin Burt wasn't killed. Built like tanks made even more solid by the roll cage
@@andrewdrabble8939 he had a serious eye injury, because of that,if me memory is correct
@@chrismoore5206 You may be thinking of James Thompson from 1995.
Kelvin missed Snetterton and was back at Brands Hatch
That's one of those where, as soon as you know where you're heading, time goes reeeeaaaal slow.
Had he hit that barrier on the drivers side I doubt he would have survived. Very lucky boy.
Menu lied about getting hit from behind then.
That Volvo ripped that barrier a new one😂
Winkelhock crash compilation
more action in 6 minutes of btcc,. than in 6 years of f1,..
golden times
Those were the days. ❤️
Top drivers, top cars, top show. That was Btcc
90s touring cars rocked.
Oh I do remember all this. Love it
No idea what happened at Brands but just a big cluster feck!
These were indeed golden times and I miss the sport as it was :(
Fantastic era for the touring car championship with all the works teams and heroic drivers too.
The accident between Smokin Jo, Menu and Hoy at Thruxton really is a hilarious accident. It looks almost impossible for that to be the outcome lol. Menu on the radio was priceless as well. He declares it was the BMW that pushed him off, but thought his teammate was the one who started it. Winkelhock obviously didn’t think it was his fault either judging by how annoyed he was afterwards. To me it looked like Menu actually caused the first pincer movement, just before the cars go out of shot?
Also, can anyone identify what caused the pile up at Brands Hatch? No cars actually collided with Menu or Ravaglia after they spun going down the hill. It looks to me as if one of the factory Vauxhalls (so either Thompson or Cleland) makes a sudden jink to the right for no apparent reason while going down the hill and this caused the tenpin effect.
Goodness knows what caused the “pea souper” in the mondeo haha
2:27 it's funny how two Renault trying to sandwich BMW but at the end its both Renault get off the track first
Thompson at the end, is your scrap? Yeah. Lol
Radisich was awesome. He had so much bad luck and still managed to win.
Love all of this video. Cheers
I miss the old Snetterton
Agree DQ its nice being able to stand at the Esses now, in the 90s wasn't really possible but tracks too long now. We used to watch at Coram into the old Russell Chicane what fab times.
The golden age of BTCC
I have memory with volvo 850 btcc rydell..swedish motor assemblies
Murray Walker, what a legend! I remember that crash, was super scary.
Murray Walker is a fucking legend
You need to broaden your vocabulary. How about Murray Walker is an (incredible, amazing, awesome, extraordinary, prodigious) legend. Choose any one of the above and drop the unnecessary obscenity.
Absolute carnage love it
Classic touring cars love it
Frank biela nice
When Btcc ruled.
The era where all cars were lovely..
850 estate, a4, e36, laguna, accord baaically all cars were great car in this series
Murray walker only one bloke I liked listening to more was Barry sheen
They were both absolutely fantastic
Demo derby car racing at is best 👍👍😍😍
When the cars were what it said on the tin! Not like today's homogeneous steel cages with a manufacturer's tin work draped over it!
I still remember the glory days of Ford Sierra, one, two, three and then a load more behind them.
Good old Volvo 850, built like a tank, and a bit of a handful in the corners, but generally not bad. Just a pity that Volvo dropped out before they could make a real impact on BTCC, when it was still British Saloon Car Racing.
Good old Murray Walker too, back in the day when he commentated on all aspects of motor sports.
1994 season probably the last great season . before all this aerodynamic b/s kicked in , i remember alfa romeo starting it all with their rear wing grrrrr but that 95 bmw sounds amazing.
No way
Was good right up to 1999
Smokin' Jo playing in the dust...
Electric cars will never replace the Real cars the sound gears screaming just awesome ! 👏🏴👍🏻😉
that 850 has a lotta damage
But kelvin Burt didn't.
Where's the track in the first clip,I don't recognize it...
Seems like yesterday. I can't believe this was some 24 years ago. The Audis were the class act. But were always given weight ballast, because they were deemed to have four wheel drive advantage.
this is a real race.
The golden era was amazing without the weight ballast restricting, the reverse grids and the stupid, idiotic rules they have now. Pure racing, great cars and magical times for the BTCC. Super tourer era was the best, understand they had to cut costs but the restrictions of racing in touring cars turned many fans away from 2000 since the super touring era.
Unfortunately, those Audis had to eventually take ballast. Their four wheel drive was considered too much of an advantage over the others running two wheel drive.
Absolutely pure racing of Super Touring Cars.
@@sonicstep Yeah true and probably because why they change the rules to everyone having 4 wheel drive after 1996. Still the best era of touring cars.
Fun fact is Audi was quit from rally after Group B disbanded. So they move to touring cars. and first time to join touring car was this BTCC
One thing was nothing to discuss about: when a Volvo 850 tank lost controll, you better get out of the way!
BTCC from this time period and V8 supercars 😊
I couldn't get why they were/are twitchy? You can push em with your thumb, easy. But there were 30-35 on a grid and extremely great drivers. Cheers for that, who can forget the alfa on two wheels sideways,,,,,, er tarquiny? and the pushthrough VOLVO-STUNNING DAYS
This was motorsport at its best
A question: Why did some BTCC cars have the steering wheel on the right side, while other cars had it on the left side?
I'm gonna guess it's because the ones from the UK are RHD and the ones from Europe are LHD.
That impact that kelvin burt had at Oulton park is just absolutely sickening to see..even 3 decades later....the super tourers were bloody fabulous..thank goodness we had Murray walker commenting!
These were the days when every manufacturer wanted in. Today we've got maybe 2 works teams.
Boxiness powaaa
Green flag TOCA Touring cars with Tiffany Nidel.
Three into one doesn’t go!
Talk about destruction derby
That was the days of the true BTCC great cars not the hot hatches they race nowadays.
1996?
HAHAHA "Wanker"hock. I think we all know what the Winkelrock was telling us about Biela
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777 That was Manfred, and a good ten years before this race. This is Manfred's brother, Joachim, 1996.
total carnage loved watching this back in the 90s now euro is turning lesbian by going electric racing is over
Volvo, the best sounding Touring car ever in my opinion.
