      I don't agree. This is 90s music from the BTCC PS1 game so it's relevant. The audio mix between music, commentary, and engine is balanced. Without the music it would just be random clips without cohesion. There's no piece of music that everyone is going to like. This is an entertainment/nostalgia edit not a review video.

    Drivers going at it 110% all race like it's their last, hyper modified factory saloons, endless corporate budget, massive grids of every brand, no fuel saving, no tyre preservation, no stewards, no faux bodied spec chassis widebody "NGTC" cars, and fearless racing. This is as superb as racing ever gets.

    The more I watch these nostalgia videos, the more I think the late 80s to the late 90s was probably the sweet spot for ALL sports, be they motor racing, football, golf, rugby etc. etc. It was the era before far too much money came into sport, there was still a degree of the stars being "within reach", and great, charismatic commentary from the Walkers, Motsons, Allisses and Carpenters of this world with terrestrial TV coverage that made it accessible to almost all. Great stuff, wonderful memories and happy days

      If just one race summed up the BTCC in the Super Touring era, the last race of 1992 surely encapsulates it all. Could watch it every day and still be on the edge of my seat biting my nails not knowing what would happen next. Never see good times like this again

      I think technology-wise as well the 90s were the golden age of motorsport. It was the transition point between the old world and the modern one. Modern tech was starting to come in and cars were starting to become seriously capable machines, but there was enough old-tech jank that they were still absolutely wild machines. Chassis, aerodynamics and suspension were still relatively simple compared to today, and you would still see cars right on the ragged edge of controllability.

    With 300HP (+/- 10HP), a naturally aspirated engine, minimal aero and a maximum attack drive for 100% of the race, this was BTCC's finest hour IMO. I was glued to my TV screen throughout the whole race and couldn't wait for the next race to start. I think that today's BTCC is so watered down in comparison. I'd start watching again if they banned aero and turned up the wick on these unstressed engine's so they were at their limit for the whole race.

    This right here is pure nostalgia for me.
    I was around 10 years old here in Sweden at the time, and when the BTCC races was on Eurosport it was me and dad time without questioning.
    Neither my mom nor my idiot older brother had anything to say or do in the living room- when the race started me and dad was glued to the tv rooting for our countryman Rydell to win!
    Remebering all the epic races, often neck and neck with battered cars to the finish line, the excitement i remember as a young boy watching this and bonding with my father over it really do bring a tear to my eye, may my father rest in peace.
    There will never be anything quite like the BTCC of the 80´s/90´s i´m shure.
    Also in those days we seldom had swedish commentators on the livestreams so we also listened to Murray Walkers amazing comentating. I learned english quite early so i could understand most of what he was screaming! :D

    Thats why i love Touring Cars, more than any other racing series, although i really like F1, WRC, Le Mans and so on.
    Why can't we have only a half of it today ? Super Touring cars runned all over the world: CNV (in my Portugal), CET (Spain), CFST (France), CIST (Italy), STW Cup (Germany), STCC (Sweden), Procar (BeNeLux), NATCC (North America), ASTC (Australia), JTCC (Japan), SEATCZC (Asia), CNST (South America), SATCC (South Africa) and of course the best of all, the BTCC (UK).
    Cheers and thanks for the video :) ;)

    God, this takes me back! I played the sh1t out of the TOCA games on PlayStation. The Honda Accord was my favourite although I ended up with an 850R as my daily driver which I've still got. That 850 touring car did wonders for Volvo and changed their image. Great video 👍

    The Golden era of touring cars, this cars where very popular in national championships, as same as Btcc ,in my country, Spain, the best era of the Spanish championship was the supertouring cars in the 90s.I want to buy some scale models of BTCC/supertouring cars for my collection. The music, the amazing images, Murray Walker, the cars sound, I finally found the perfect video!!!! 👌👍

    Raced in my late teens , this was the best racing to watch . Then go race lol rqn ITS and ITC cars , now in my 49s I've built a few of these cars in radio control versions. Platos laguna , menus mondeo etc. Super fun the other guy I race with alot built some btcc rc cars and we recreate 90s btcc races on a regular

    I was blessed to grow up watching this era of Motorsport.
    Howling v10s in F1
    Group N and the rise of Japanese teams in wrc
    The era of the clk get, F1, Porsche gt1, lister etc etc in lemans.
    And this, the pinnacle of British touring cars in my opinion.
    Truly blessed.

    Loved BTCC in the 90's, attended quite a few of the races and have good memories of seeing it in action. Good thing that the modern F1 stewards weren't overseeing things back then, there would have been so many penalties issued that pretty much everyone would have been hit by one (including the spectators). 🤣
