BTCC 1993 - Round 9 (Part 1) 

yes, as the Toyota car adverts were " The car in front is a Toyota " hilarious at the time, but on the official video it was removed , how pathetic, its so funny !!

No way, however, of cutting out the angry middle finger of John "I'm going for 1st place" Cleland - yet another historic Murray quick-thinkingism.

That’s the only reason I watched this video. I remember at the time thinking it was the best line of commentary I’d ever heard. However 3 decades later when no one remembers the advert it doesn’t really mean anything.

Here in Ethiopia it is a case of 'The car almost everywhere you look is a Toyota' although, as of 2021, Hyundai and Suzuki are making increasing inroads into Toyota's domination.

Such a cheeky sense of humour, I shed a tear when we lost our dear Sir Murray

Nowadays "someone's hit a particularly large fly... OUT... YES! OUT COMES THE PACE CAR!"

Nah, nothing beats the classic "I'm going for first says Cleland" from the year prior 🤣🤣

@Jeff Wood Didn't he say something similar ish when Frentzen gave Blundell the finger in an F1 race years back? 😂 Good times and then some!

I noticed the same and assumed that he meant to say 'an all Japanese front row'. Murray (brain-can't-keep-up-with-mouth) Walker always meant quick-fire excitement at the (regular) expense of accuracy!

@@EdiDrums It was Steve Ryder who introduced the grid and mentioned the all-Nissan front row. Then Murray took over the commentary. Murray made many a mistake, but not that one. I suspect an edit there, and that two Nissans qualified on the front row, but one of them was penalised and dropped down the order for some reason before the start of the race. That sort of thing was quite common in the BTCC - often after “punt and run” manouveres, where someone pitched the car ahead off track while overtaking, with grid penalties at the next race once the stewards had reviewed the footage of the incident.

That was the year before, with Rouse and Hoy.

_I'm catching up on so much good racing as an adult_

TheGreatIndoors1979 no, John Cleland said it after contact with Steve Soper, wasn't at Silverstone

Yes anonymous your right after that fantastic race at silverstone when the great Steve soper helped his team mate tim Harvey win the championship. Vintage year that was. Brilliant

Cleland said after the incident in '92 - "He MIGHT do that in Germany where he MIGHT be Mr superstar. But this is clean, the man's an animal"

@@stephentrout7879 Cleland being clean was the biggest joke though

(or 1990s British touring car championships)
