Production class making up the numbers sounded the death knell of STC. They were also a legacy of the next era.

This was the last BTCC meeting I went to. After Super Touring it wasn't quite the same...

[@MWRaceRally]

Nothing has been as good as Supertourers!

[@andrewpowell9304]

And to think there were only 10/11 Supertourers left, just shows how good it was!

Does anyone know why the Vauxhall Vectra's were left hand drive in 1996 and 1997, right hand drive in 1998 and 1999, then left hand drive again in 2000?

Race 2 saw Plato who he said that his throttle was stuck open that caused him to shunt into tarquini

[@mrdraw2087]

It just looked as if he completely missed his braking point, though. I mean, he shifted up when the car ahead started braking already. In the sprint race he tried to pin the blame on a puncture when he clearly over-corrected when the car started to slide. Not his best weekend, but it was far better for him to just admit he'd made a mistake; it happens to everyone in touring-car racing.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Yep
