The indulgent, floppy flat cap Goodwood revivals can just stand aside: the unadulterated rawness is preserved right here. Knock flipping hill. Murray flipping Walker.
Will Hoy was never slow but he was clean as a whistle in racing terms. Cleland said you could do a entire lap side by side with Will and he would barely touch you at all.
@@unovox Today’s cars have a lot of common, cost controlled parts. In the Super Touring era, teams were pouring money into researching the best alloys to make engine parts from, were spending day after day on a test track sorting out suspension and developing their aero in a wind tunnel. The fact that F1 teams like Williams and TWR were involved shows the level of complexity that was underneath these cars.
Many thanks for this great quality upload. The Official Review just showed a snippet of this (Burt going off). It was horrible how Radisich's season went downhill in the second half of 1995-that greedy Mondeo ate its tyres🙂
Wonder if Rouse retiring had an impact on development in 95 the last year he built them, the Mondeo struggled with WSR until Prodrive got the contract.
You're right, Rouse retiring could have had an effect couldn't it. As you say, after this season, things didn't picking up until 1999, although there were some flashes of promise with WSR, including Hoy winning at a wet Silverstone in 1998.
@jemimallah2591 It was also incredibly busy :) . Those mid-90s BTCC races were very popular. We parked a mile or so away from the track and waited for a park & ride bus for ages. In the end, we just decided to walk in instead. I'd love to go back and experience it again. Watching Alain Menu in the Renault flying into Duffus Dip :)
@@michaelellett1295 yes I know that, but at least back in those days the cars were proper cars, unlike todays space frame chassis vehicles with just a bodyshell of a vehicle we all recognise as a car, and it was more fun back in those days too
Touring cars today don’t have space frame chassis, or lookalike body shells and judging by the massive crowds they attract, they’re still as popular as ever.
@@Rayfaedundeethe modern btcc ngtc cars are not space framed at all, they share the same subframes which are tubular and bar that they are a productiom shell. The irony here is that the main reason the Stc era ended was because of the spiralling costs due to the cars being so heavily modified. Don't get me wrong the super touring era was by far the best & I'm not a fan of the modern cars, but it's mostly because all modern saloons look identical anyway at least you could tell them apart by design in the 90s.
