I spent way too much of my childhood playing TOCA 2.
Me too!
Time not wasted tho! Game had the best sounds and my cousin and me had best of times!
No such thing as too much toca
Me too! Greetings from Germany
Agree with that mate.
The 90's were really the best decade for motorsports. What we have today, doesn't compare.
I think the next few years will turn into another decade like that with the changes to Le Mans, Ferrari entering as a constructor to the WIC, the F1 Rule Change, ect. The 90’s I think had the best amount of sportscar and touring car racing
But you don't watch motorsport, your just another kid whos pretending, in order to get likes.
@@Orcawhale1 lol... grow up!
@@turnpiketumbler8938 I am, that's why i can see right through your bullshit.
@@turnpiketumbler8938 But let's hear it, what motorsport do you watch?
This era of BTCC was the best.
TOCA touring cars 👍
Exactly.
Bit too much reliance on aero but quality teams, drivers and manufacturers though😁
And wats more insane is that Jason Plato is still racing in BTCC to this day 2021.....how mad is that
I could watch these races live in German TV back then. The cars and drivers are legends. It gave me a great time as a touring car fan.
I was born in 2003 so I completely missed out on this era of motorsports but luckily I grew up with the original three ToCA Touring Car games on the PS1. If it wasn’t for those games I would have never come across this golden era of touring cars. Makes me wish Codies would make a modern BTCC game.
Grid Autosport is the closest I know of on Switch. It's brilliant
I was at the Brands hatch race. Got in through a mate who used to work for Wests. Even bagged a free lunch in their trailer, great Chili Con Carne. Great day at the races 👍
In the broadcast after Mansell was interviewed after his second incident in 2 races at Brands Hatch, John Watson said, "Nigel it wasn't Nox, but Peter Cox, but he did "nox" you off," 😂😂😂
Absolutely loved this period, also the 80s and 70s of Touring cars. Back when it was case of win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Now it's a case of win on Sunday, forgotten about on Monday
90s BTCC was bloody brilliant.
Kids today don’t know how much better the BTCC was back then
Rob Davies so true . Now they sound shit and all look the same
Bungle2010 more competitive , better drivers , cars looked like the road equivalent and No turbos
Bungle2010 are you crazy ? You must be young and not have watched the older ones . Super touring touring cars was the best of the best . And had proper works teams . Not a whole load of privateers mixed in . The cars are not like the road going versions . I’ve never seen a Subaru levorg look anything like that . And as for the drivers . You had the likes of biela , aiello, menu , Tarquinius. And loads of other ex f1 drivers. Also they had a sprint race and a feature race with pit stops which was the nuts . That’s how it was better , change my mind
Love those '90s touring cars... It was around this time the series sparked my interest in the WTCC & BTCC. When they get emotional, it's good hard drivin'!
The cars are so memorable
80s and 90s Touring Cars are always memorable
GT2
@@hybridAbsol agreed. I can't say the same for the mid 2000s onwards, the cars all look the same
@@dronespace all the cars now racing are hatches, i couldnt see a sedan taking part anymore
@@RiccardoTheBeAst *Super Touring
Touring car racing when it was worth watching 👍
The BTCC is excellent currently, it's so unpredictable and very competitive. The BTCC is the best motorsport series in the world.
90s formula one was better than what we currently have though.
@@unreal1066 Totally agree, BTCC is in a very good place at the moment and still produces fantastic racing.
Duke video, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
I remember my dad buying the video tapes that Duke made when we used to go to Mondello, I used to watch the racing crashes compilations all the time when I was 9 or 10 years old ha. 👍
The Havoc videos if I recall.
@@thestaggy Oh damn I remember them as well ha, I'm back home this weekend and going to have a look around for them, might even try upload some as I have capture cards.
They're still around :-)
I still love touring cars but these were the years
Anthony Reid was my favourite driver of the era
Rydell was ridiculously quick though
Both gentleman racers, that incident aside 🤣
When cars could take a knock and drivers were men. 90's touring cars were brilliant.
“Men” - well that’s one way of putting it! A bunch of hairy-arsed rock apes would be another. Car in front? No problem I’ll just smash him out of the way. “Ug ug - me coming past”. The fastest banger racing ever - great entertainment but not much to do with skill.
@@PaulHussey01 F1 fan yeah?
aaron i - I am yeah. All motorsport really. I love touring cars don’t get me wrong but subtle, sophisticated racing it ain’t. And it’s all the better for that IMHO :-)
@@PaulHussey01 Subtle sophisticated racing really says it all about you mate! Now don't get me wrong I don't like American yee haw crash and bash racing. But this is raw racing with cars we all had over the years it has a 90s joyriding feel to it which is probably why I love it and you hate it.
aaron i Mate I don’t hate it at all! If you read what I wrote you’d see I said it’s all the better for being ‘robust’. I especially loved this era because there were so many manufacturers taking it very seriously. Although not always too seriously. Do you remember Volvo announcing that they were going to put a mock dog in the back of their estate racer? I think it was April Fools - those crazy swedes ;-)
I just love the 90's Nissan Primeras!
All the 90's touring cars. Primera, Volvo, Cavalier, Mondeo, Alfa, Laguna. Magnificent.
Early/Mid 90's was a golden age for motor racing, F1, BTCC, World Rally Championship, 500cc Grand Prix motorbikes, World Superbikes, and all shown on terrestrial TV!
@@tacheovale yeah, the alfa 155 and Volvo 850 were both pretty cool, touring cars didn't get boring for me the same way everything else has, the drivers are a bit different, seems to attract the characters.
They do look naughty, do they! I love this BTCC / STW look with those "huge" wheels and camber of doom
Was this really 1998??? where has all that time gone? I blinked and missed it.
Roberto Ravaglia kicking off at Paul Radisich after he complained about his driving at Brands Hatch in 1996 was good to watch
Great video and happy memories - as the very start confirms though, these are highlights from 1998 not 1994.
1994 was the year of the Alfa Romeo domination (Tarquini and Simeoni).
Have been watching BTCC since 1988 and nothing will ever compare to the Supertouring era of the 90's.
Agreed. Fabulous racing - bump-bump-bump-tap-PIT manoeuvre! I actually bought myself a Volvo 850:T5-R about twenty years ago because I loved the Touring Cars TOCA racing Volvos. Had it remapped to 305bhp (torque steer central!) - paid around £3K for it back then, wish I'd kept it - worth 15K nowadays for a decent one. Mind you I could retire in comfort if I'd have kept my NSX, Skyline GTR-33, Lotus Carlton, Audi Quattro, 300zxTTs, etc etc. Man I miss those cars and many others.
@@XXSkunkWorksXX I am not really jealous of the cars you owned. Especially the Lotus and Quattro.
Nigel whinging about his misfortune after he spent too long in non contact motor racing 🤣
He got tapped twice in a corner, quite evidently.
People crapping on Mansell, but he wasnt wrong.
The other guy tapped him and should have known better.
I'd say it was a 50/50 to say the least. Mansell moves back to the right and turns himself across the nose of a car that's already there. It was a racing incident.
Mansell should have known better and uaed his friggin mirrors
I sense Mansell felt a sense of entitlement there. He wasn't in the wrong, however he didnt judge the way you race touring cars, which was inexperience. The way he drove at Donnington proved he caught on quickly.
I think it's a bit unfair to say that James Thompson switching to inters on the front of the Honda was an error of judgement, he was faster than anything else on the track at that part of the race. What was an error of judgement was trying to pass Kox's Honda on the inside, the much wetter part of the track, coming out of the hairpin. If he'd stayed on the drier line Kox would have almost certainly let him past into the first corner even if he couldn't make the move along the straight. Lesson learnt...
Gotta love the bit where Thompson crashes into a 'Drive Of Your Life' advertising hoarding! Touring Car Comedy at its finest. Oh, and weren't Cox and Watson a fine commentary pair?
Chucked it at the scenery what a great quote. Mansel was a bully
Much better racing and coverage than nowadays
oh how I miss these cars
Nigel Mansell, the most unfairly treated driver of all-time. Just ask him, he’ll tell you. 😂
World Champion whinger
Have to love the commentary
Supertouring Era, the best ever happened to touring cars.
AMAZING TIME 👍👍👍
Stop for this corner matt........ 😂
Mansell, this is touring car, not formula 1. BTCC is practically a contact sport.
90's touring car racing was the business!
These drivers were the coolest. In fact, I'd venture to say that touring car racing as a category - and the class 1 touring and super touring formulae - had the best set of characters across any racing series. So much passion, brute force, and wheel to wheel action.
We got the radio comms during the broadcast as well back in that era, which wasn't the case in F1. I don't know whether it went out live, but I remember Derek Warwick retiring and saying words to the effect of "the engine is fucked!".
that was such a punt!
Quite clear Mansell was taken out 1st time around.
D.B. I am not so sure. Mansell did drift to the right of the track to take the racing line but someone had their nose already there. Would have to see the other car's onboard
No, he moved over on Mark Lemmer and spun himself out basically. Just a racing incident really as the racing line there switches from left to right so it's a very common cause of accident there.
Flammen. i used to love watching Mansell, in a car he could make the ordinary seem spectacular. But when he talks he - ALWAYS 100000% without a shadow of a doubt - makes the spectacular seem ordinary. Im not trying to disrespect him, he wasnt just my fave driver. When i was growing up he was motorsport to me. Maybe he has that monotone voice because normal life is too boring for him?
I always found Mansell quite the conundrum. I mean he was spectacular in f1, for example, but he just makes everything sound absolutely boring but when he drove it was the opposite of boring lol
Makes a change to hear him whinging!!
Great days!
"Massive shunt in the Honda"...... think I heard that right!
O yea Mansel: My back and everything !! 😂
Nigels was great, I loved him. But he did have a tendency to for example just sit totally quietly in his car after a crash making it look like he was seriously injured and then 10 min later he was totally fine. Except his back and everything 😅
Nigel Mansell moaning, I’d never believe it if I hadn’t seen it.
It's about time
Proud to be a Nigel! 😉🏆🇬🇧
Beating and Banging racing in BTCC. Not for the faint of heart.
Can’t wait for the new season it’s far more entertaining than F1
and the more rules they add to F1 the more its gets boring
ahh knockhill 98 my first ever btcc race i went to, torrential rain the whole day but loved every moment of it
1994 Volvo and Honda is my dream I dunno why 😂😂
Golden age
Proper touring cars ! 👍
I went to a Ford showroom open day, promoting the model Ford Mondeo and they had the TOCA 2 driven by Alain Menu setup with big screen and sequential shifter racing silverstone on TOCA 2 PC. Lo and behold, Alain was there! Wooohoooo they were taking quickest laps shots in the car, while me and the wife talked to Alain - nobody much knew him, typical. Anyway my wife had put me in x secretly! I had my turn put in the barrier at the first corner by the AI and it was fun! I won it!! Have a signed goody bag of Alain, Colin McRae, Jackie Stewart racing, posters, key rings and a works replica of McRae and Grist rally car memorabilia. Yeah made
BTCC some of naughty drivers out there..
Reid always was one of the dirtiest drivers out there, you can see it in his eyes.
Yep and Plato is just as bad nowadays.
I don't know - a lot of the drivers were pretty brutal in those days. I watched all the seasons from '94 through to '00 over Christmas and Reid didn't really seem any worse than most other drivers.
Agreed, Reid consistently conducted himself very poorly.
Hella true, Reid was always a d*ckhead
This is touring cars not F1.
"He didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you, he *rubbed* you, and rubbin' son is racin'!"
Matt neal must be over 100 years old by now

Best cars ever 90s awesome 😎
Lived their, at neal road 1998 freepass's to residence, No lye ins on at Saturday
Back in my day it was called Stock Car Racing.
I remember when Tiff Needle took Mansell out in a touring car race and Mansell was not happy made me laugh
Yeah and he blamed Tiff.Tiff had nowhere to go and Mansell way too arrogant to admit he as over driving the car.Poor loser.
@@iandyke2298 oh ok I thought tiff took him out? So basically Mansell took him self and tiff out and blamed tiff? I didn't realise that cos I did actually think tiff genuinely had taken Mansell out....good to know
@@benconway9010 hi Ben.As far as i can remember Mansell was pushing too hard and he got out of shape.John Cleland was commentating for that race and said Mansell was using muscles he had never used and trying too hard.I think he had a misfire too.He went across tiff and tiff hit him hard and as John Cleland said you are then a passenger and choose something soft to hit.I felt sorry for tiff as he got the blame.
@@iandyke2298 ok cheers.. What a prick Mansell was then... Why couldn't he have just swallowed his pride and say sorry tiff it was my fault
You should hear what the locals on island thought of him when he lived here. Safe to say, they had his arrogant number straight away lol. He even became a "special constable" to get his "little Napoleon" fix.
94-97 were the best seasons in btcc
You can't rule out 1992 and the battle leading into the last race of the season.
Anthony Reid and Kelvin Burt (once Rydell's teammate at Volvo) were my tutors at racing school. Anthony was always very quick, fair and the perfect gentleman. Small nudges at Druids are to be expected - Rydell was well out of order in his post-race behaviour there, and Mansell should have expected it 🙃
there was rumours though, the Nissan had bull-bars to barge cars out of the way, so I think thats why they have punished him.
Typical Anthony Reid, always on the look out for an unfair advantage, and every incident he's involved in is always someone else's fault.
Yeah that was a really dirty move
Obviously never done any form of motorsport have you fellas. A much faster car was blocked in a deliberate manner, what did you expect Reid to do? It was a race ffs.
@@Flying_GC 30+ years track experience and now s Clerk of the Course - yourself ? It's well known throughout the motorsport fraternity that he is always looking for an unfair advantage. He's the only person I know to have run a car up and down a road to heat up the tyres for a sprint. Oh, and of course he was blocked... to quote you, it's a race ffs.
"Was it Knox?" always wondered what happened to Peter Knox.
Proper cars, loved this period, especially when the 155 turned up.
Take me back
I hope Nigel looks after his caterpillars (eyebrows) 😳
Everyone seemed to be getting away with it.
Was full contact racing part and parcel of BTCC racing or was there a fine line on what was acceptable?
If Rydell was correct why no penalty?
It is a contact sport, but there’s of course a fine line between acceptable taps and unfair advantage.
Sometimes the marshalls don’t conclude in a penalty.
Call that a fight, wasn’t even a powder puff attempt!
So, Mansell puts himself into the tires not once but twice, and yet he claimed that both incidents were the fault of other drivers.
Some things never change. If anything ever goes wrong for Mansell, it is never ever Nigel's fault. Ever. His attitude is why he is one of the most personally disliked drivers in F1 history. When Mario Andretti states publicly that you're an idiot, believe him.
I've just been bummed.
Wasn't the only time Reid was, rightly, accused of dodgy overtaking tactics.
Well…..if ever there was false advertising, this is it…”fighting”….my ar5e!
Rain? At Knockhill? Never, I simply do not believe it.😅
Just a love tap lol
Wonder how the lap times compare to today’s btcc? Anyone know? Loved this era, so much better in every way
Those cars would be much faster than today's. Manufacturers were spending big.
Bungle2010 Well it was simply better in every way
Bungle2010 Well what he said is true so its worth repeating
@@Bungle2010 It was better in every way, you blithering fuckwit!
Laptimes are very similar but in the majority of cases the ss2000 and later tcr cars are faster than the earlier cars. All though there is some exceptions 👍
Rydell touches his nose while explaining his version of what happened.
What are you implying?
@@Paul-mq5yn Not sure Paul, hence why I asked. Why the hell should it matter?
Mike Spearwood Its a well known psychological fact that if someone touches his nose while answering a question or describing what had happened to him there is a fairly high chance that he’s not telling the truth. When we lie on purpose our brain sends out a certain nerve signal around our nose, it feels similar to an itch or a small irritation so in our response to such a feeling we scratch our noses.
@@GTChucker86 Thanks for the explanation Thomas. Paul has a stick up his arse or something!
M Klonge Nope its a proven study, but its not absolute as there are exceptions to the rule.
Just odd seein these cars being driven from the wrong side of the vehicle, in the wrong direction on the track....And no, dude is mistaken, that is not the most competitive racing series in the world, that dude must've been stoned outta his mind that day.....
Have some tea chaps
I did love the Volvo est
Thompson’s accident is horrendous
I can’t imagine racing without my HANS device
Touring cars only sport to make a Mondeo look awesome
Reid was a dirty driver.
Did Mansell ever complete a race for Ford?
Them cars were the best era in btcc.
"Both cars made contact..." What does that even mean?
They both hit/tapped each other
@@danielwolfe4169 It's pilot speak for 'wasn't my fault'. A car cannot hit another car with only one car being involved.
Yeah but he is lying...he pushed him to gain corner to secure win
Ps1 Toca Touring cars in all these cars! I drove the audi or volvo.
bump n run by reid !!
When TOURING Cars where actually TOURING CARS, now we have a bunch of hot hatch cars, pretending to be Touring cars 🤔😋
A Nissan Primera is a touring car? Tour to the shops maybe.
The class was 4dr cars
@@bremCZ The primera had the legendary SR20DE engine. Unless you got a poverty spec one.
@@HostileLemons I know, I had one. It was far from a touring car.
@@bremCZ Well the jdm primera had the sr20ve. About 200hp. It's more powerful that the UK primera gt

Mansell was such a whinger.
Mansel should've done v8 supercars
Rubbing is racing 😁
Rubbin's racin lol
Mat neal giving it the welly when anyone sane would be taking it a bit more easy …
Nigel without mustache 🤔
We don't race them like this anymore
Old spice Alfa for me or a Volvo wagon
British fisticuffs wouldnt get a mention in NASCAR, it was more a jolly good talking to.
You mean Swedish fisticuffs......
It would be greta to se that cheat Rydell get his lights knocked out, BIG TIME!
How dare you
This is not 1994, maybe my memory is shot to bits but I swear those aren’t early 90’s cars
The title literally says 1998. I think your eyes are shot to bits lol
