This My Old VHS Tape Long Time Ago! and You see Eurosport on Logo!....I'm Deaf that why! and I need subtitles on RU-vid! Eurosport never took subtitles!
7:58 is such a golden piece of commentary 😂 "it's like a scene out of the sound of music", "armful of opposite lock", "I'll take the scenic route"... Too good.
Christ - I had to go and check, but you're right. They just rendered the same footage. Truly, unreal spot!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_lGP2yxygkY.html
This is the kind of racing that draws enthusiasts in, and is so compelling to watch! If only the sporting regulations and manufacturers realized the closer the cars resemble what is sold on the dealerships, the more you can relate. This particular era, with the same base engines from a few manufacturers being used for the F2 (Kit car) rallying was a reasonably contained expense. Let alone having the variety of inline 4 cylinder, 5 cylinders, and even 6 from BMW, Ford's V6... The noises are so easy to spot in so many cases... Also, the rahter large (by-then, at least) wheel size, plus the short-stroke suspension made for a spectacular looks, as well as dicey handling, which makes for fantastic racing. Yes, there was tons of fender-benders, but for an average viewer, as messed up as that is, that is part of their interest in the sport. But after that initial phase, you learn to enjoy the actual racing. We could really learn from this era, and try to get back into this kind of racing.
Sadly the big brother mentality of today leads to strict regulatory practices . Hence gruppe B rally and all the excitement of super tourer classes were BRUTAL door to door racing. The best ever was 90s super tourers
I was there! My girlfriend at the time and myself waited for the security guard to pop off to the loo and managed to sneak through the tunnel into the paddock!
I remember how EPIC those graphics at the start of the race looked back in the day... "I can't wait until games look like that!", well look at them today :P
Two Donnington memories I'll never forget: F1 Donnington 93. Ayrton Senna in an underpowered McLaren, on a wet track serenely sails round Karl Wendlinger on the Craner curves. BTCC Donnington 98. John Bintcliffe in a four wheel drive Audi, in the dry, serenely sails off the Craner curves, collecting daisies as he went...
I never saw this when I was young, but played Toca 2 on PC years later. Shame that game didn't have the independents like Matt Neal though. Interesting race here as well.
Deadmetal I can’t relate to the cars today they don’t sound right or look right, they look too heavy and soft when cornering. It’s still some of the best racing out there though
These cars were just so much more exiting, the current BTCC is great in terms of numbers and championship but the current cars look so slow and less exiting in comparison to these rocketships but that unfortunately was part of the demise they got so complex and expensive wasn't sustainable.
@@AmanAli-dc1sy Totally agree. And were just mental super hyped up versions of the road cars. I had a look at the current races and it's not the same for me.👍
What round ( I think it was 98 season) Did mansell drive the bollocks off a blue mondeo in the pouring rain..? Brilliant race, one of the best.... Can’t find it on RU-vid...
