Great series of uploads of one the best BTCC seasons of the 1990s. Obviously the Season Reviews are edited down versions of the highlights that were shown on Grandstand. At the Pembrey round, Allam is shown being waved past Cleland, but just before John pulls into the pitlane, he's ahead again! This is because they edited out the bit where Jeff gets very sideways around the back of the circuit and loses the place again. The best bit that wasn't shown was when Cleland's engine blows and his first reaction is "it's now rubber ducked!"
He's not wrong though, you see multiple prior instances of other drivers being allowed to race on with similarly flapping rear bumpers just in this series of highlights. I may be a little biased as he is my favourite but it's a valid argument.
good god this is exciting. seeing such old cars racing in their prime is amazing
Anyone sharing a btcc race from the early 90s is doing gods work. Thank you so much!

My favourite era of bttc

This was Colin McRaes first appearance in btcc before going back to rallying

Big roll for David Leslie on round 10 knockhill
Cleland not happy about being black flagged in round 9 at knockhill

Anyone notice Hoy sucking on an oxygen mask at the end of the first race? Anyone know the story behind that?
Colin McRae scored his first and only point in the btcc 1992
