1998 Autotrader RAC BTCC THRUXTON Round 2 From BBC 1 TV. 

"Eeeee izz a craftie little bugger..." I haven't laughed that hard for years.

The sound of the Volvo 5cyl - amazing howl it has :D

Thanks for the races! What an incredible era it was! I was lucky enough to experience and know about these drivers and cars by the TOCA 1 and 2 games… Wish i could have seen those live :D

This was just the best era for the btcc!

Thank you, this takes me back. I met Jason plato while he was doing a fith gear filming, I'd been watching him race for years, he's a legend

Thank you to upload this. Really appreciate. This video remember the game TOCA 2... but i've never seen a real race until now!!!

Great clips mate, it's great to see this in their entirety. It's a shame we can only by 'highlights 'DVDs these days.

TOCA 2.Happy days. But where have all those lovely Lagunas gone? I never see any on the road. Forgotten car.

I jut love the cox/Watson commentary due

This race is so raw it's amazing

What a race!! I really enjoyed that, so thanks for the upload(s)!

Great upload. Love that it’s the full highlights programme as shown on BBC Grandstand and not the edited highlights that was on the DUKE video and DVD release. Thank you.

fantastic video Thank you!

Just a car on fire at 18:50. Not even that big of a deal in the context of BTCC. What an incredible era of racing!

The reason for the Renault suspension being so good was that is wasn't within the rules. say no more.. I know cause I was there. These were the days when BTCC was as important to manufacturers as F1, consequently the budgets were enormous , if you were a fan you wouldn't ever see the amount of money or time that actually went into these cars .. I was amazed when I joined one of these teams how advanced and how much technology went into what appears to be something very similar that you can buy. but believe me it wasn't....Good days ..oh and the oil coming out of the Volvo,, it was designed to .I can honestly say that we were probably one of the only Teams that didn't Cheat or bend the rules and were successful. I will always be proud of us . Not Volvo

I love Thruxton good fast circuit

bless tucked fenders 🙌🙌

It would nice if I the British Trouing cars Champship went back to Pit Stop races oneday for something different

I’m so sad to report this that we’ve lost Frank Williams today aged 79

17:22 Anthony Reid being calm as ever whilst completely blind, as if he's in his wingback at home

I bet Harvey’s Peugeot was overheated

11:45 wow the Peugeot really was a handful!

Is there any chance you could upload the second Thruxton meeting? I never saw round 17 and have been trying to find it ever since!

I think the oil must have come from rydells car look at the back of rydells car it’s filthy

have got the first of the occasions that the BTCC went to Brands Hatch that year?

Plato still has it, Shame he has no luck though

01:45 The engineer, who wasnt an engineer xD

Is this before tear-offs?

I used to watch btcc religiously during this era. It lost its magic in the 2000's and I gave up on it. This era, was the best in motorsport. I think every petrolhead would know who each driver was and their team. Typical British thinking, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory 🤦‍♂️

Eating the member berries in 2024

This was just the best era for the btcc!
