    The only other thing I can think of when the official told all the drivers off was the 2015 F3 races at Monza several crashes and red flags occurred and feature names like Lance Stroll, George Russell and Antonio giovnassi

    I actually think 95 was the peak of Touring Car racing - just as the international stars were making their presence felt, but our homegrown talent was still able to get a look in.
    There were so many manufacturers in 1995, incredibly close racing, and the real start of the series going stratospheric in terms of popularity.
    John Cleland is an absolute legend too, there's some awesome stories that he recently told such as sneaking Alan Gow's credit card out of his wallet on a night out, picking up the tab for an £800 meal with it, and then sneaking it back into his wallet.

    To me the 850 saloon will always be one of the best looking cars - the splitter and wings made it look so cool despite its design by ruler style. Looked great in red too over in the Australian series

    As an American I was never able to watch the BTCC during it's hayday...but I really enjoy the modern version. So I can only imagine how awesome it would have been to see the original in the 90s as I was just getting into being a fan of racing. Nascar was the only show in town that was getting any real TV time, Indy cars occasionally and we'd get to see the 24 hrs of Daytona, but a real door banging series like the BTCC would have definitely been a hit with me back in those days!

    Thanks for this Aiden! I was there. 9 years old and btcc mad, it was my first ever in the flesh race. Great memories of that era so thanks for reminding me of it. Got to meet cleland at the earls court motorsports show. He was such nice bloke. I was also lucky enough to be at brands in 96. I had front row seats for the 8 car pile up in the dip between paddock and druids. Such an epic time for racing.
    Keep up with your great content. We all love it!

    Aidan, we need to get you and David Land together for a discussion about Formula One, Sportscars, and IndyCar. You have a close connection to the pulse of European motorsport fans and David is plugged into the IMSA and Indy fans. It would be especially informative to bounce ideas off each other and show the viewers the reality of what people really think about motorsports in North America. People always say nobody cares about IndyCar and I get that, but maybe the racing will be able to move in a better direction before most fans lose interest.

    This happened in NASCAR at Loudon one year. There were SO many cautions in the first half of a 300 lap race including the infamous Robby Gordon trying to reverse into Micheal Waltrip before throwing his helmet at him on the track.
    Nascar brought everyone down pit road for about 10 minutes and gave them all a proper time out while Mike Helton gave them the business over the radio
