Fantastic bit of BTCC racing. When BTCC was epic and much better, with real showroom cars that were stripped out and uprated for safety and speed. Unlike todays cars

[@John-k6f9k]

Oh I know, everything in the world was so much better back in 1987. The music, the movies, the BTCC racing, the food, the weather, things even had better colours and smelled nicer in 1987.
