The fun part of this is that actually Will Hoy took his ford to victory in the 4th round here at Silverstone, what it was his final victory in the BTCC. May he rest in peace!
We won't get to see because you picked Ford and you're in the Baird/Mansell car, but did Mansell ever appear on the grid in championship mode? I remember him being featured in the driver info part of the game menu, but I don't remember actually seeing him in the game. Does he ever appear? It always seemed to be Craig Baird.
It appears my reply disappeared, unless TH-cam messed up and removed it, but nope Mansell never appeared in the game, not even in the PC version. He only had three guest races in 1998 taking over from Baird in rounds' 6, 11 and 13 respectively. He also drove car number 55 when Baird had car 33. So I'm assuming, although technically possible, coding in a new driver / car to appear in just 3 races would've probably have been counter-productive due to time constraints. Even though the first F1 game by Psygnosis did have driver substitutions and such so it would've definitely have been possible!
Haha! That drive into the pits was too good! And that warning bell that plays as it happened was the cherry on the top!
Haha nah that's just the UK standard pitlane klaxon when cars enter the pits to warn others a car is approaching
Its timing was spot-on!

Yeah and they got the weather ass-backwards. Dry for race one, piddling down for race 2. The Fords were exceptionally good in the wet conditions
Dominant race from you Mushy once the pit stops were completed! Cracking points for Ford! 😊❤️
Would've been more if Hoy performed as he did for race 2 in reality but oh well, I'll take whatever's given!
@@Dan-Bartlett That's it, at least he has scored now! 👌
Awesome win!
And *gasp* a teammate that gets points, well, A point. impossible!
I know, right?! Almost fell off my seat seeing that! Even though Hoy did win race 2 in reality, he was never that competitive in the game :C
