You were both animals, bullies. If you didn't get your way you threw the toys out of the pram.....Always been the same with Touring car racing and racers....a non contact sport....???????
Just bumped into Mr Soper in Boots the Chemist in a town just north west of London this morning. Not entirely sure he was impressed with me asking 'Excuse me, are you the Steve Soper, former Touring Car Driver ?' He just nodded 😄
The era when BTCC racing was much better in my opinion, better cars because they were basically cars out of a garage showroom then adapted for racing. Murray Walkers commentary while Cleland was giving the finger. “John is going for 1st” lol
I can assure you one thing. In Germany, the land of poets and laws, nobody would get away with such an action. Especially if a Mercedes was involved in any racing series, then Mercedes would demand punishment up to the last court. And also enforce. Otherwise Mercedes will cry again and threaten to leave the racing series like a toddler. 😁
tim harvey was an hard but fair driver whereas cleland was just a dirty driver who got away with far too much thats why he kept driving that way,but thats just my opinion
John Cleland's fate was sealed the moment his Vauxhall was on 2 wheels pushing Steve Soper's BMW to the extreme side of the track. From that moment there was only one evitable outcome. John kinda started it but Steve ultimately finished it.
@@JBurg_07 Cleland was and always has been a dirty driver he used sopers car so much to get around the corner his car was on 2 wheels after that there was only 1 outcome and that was it,i remember seeing that live on tv steve soper was an hero and Cleland got what he deserved in my opinion,the modern day version to Cleland is sheddon he drives the same way he must have gone to the same driving school as Cleland
Yep, my dad used to take me to brands hatch nearly every meeting. Seeing them all on the first lap coming over padlock Hill bend on the first lap was so intense. The Italians in the alfas, the volvos, the mondeos etc all having a right old scrap. What an era
@@thestarlightalchemist7333 Am I mistaken or does Nascar and some predominantly oval race open wheelers have races on some regular tracks as well as the usual ovals? I'm sure I saw that a few times a very long way back!
R.I.P to the greatest motorsport commentator that has, and ever will live. The passion in his voice in this clip just emphasises how important this was. R.I.P Murray Walker
