That collision at Brands between Rouse and Hoy was the beginning of the end for Toyota's chances in '92. If luck had gone his way a bit more I reckon Rouse could've taken the championship this year, or at least got closer.
'Rouses body language says rage and fury', iconic stuff I agree, it was a close championship and the accident cost them massive points, specially the constructors which I think Andy would want most. I doubt Hoy and Rouse talked much after that
It cost Hoy more; Hoy went into the final race with a good chance of the title. Overshadowed by the Soper/Cleland crash, what a lot of people don't remember is that Hoy led the championship for most of that final race until the final few laps when Harvey deliberately ran him off the road. Had Hoy not been run off the road, he would have won the 1992 title and of course, had he not DNFed here he would have had it wrapped up sooner.
20:40 I can't help but think team orders would have secured John Cleland the title in '92. I know it was early in the year, but in such a competitive year and with John ahead in the points, a few low place finishes cost him dearly.
I love how the DNFs are just strewn around the track just off the racing line 😀!!
R.I.P Will Hoy, David Leslie, Keith O'Dor and the legendary Murray Walker.

19:52 that Vauxhall had some serious grunt
But then the BMW flexed its ABS braking immediately after!

Steve Soper. Basically God.
0:47 that's an authoritive moustache.
I wonder if Tim Sugden was any relation to the actress Mollie Sugden, who was best known for playing Mrs Slocombe in Are you being Served?
