Derek Warwick once took me for a ride around a car park at the Devon county show in his 1998 BTCC Vectra because my dad was working on the National Deposit Friendly Society (financial services) stand and they kept the Vauxhall stand furnished with tea and coffee after their generator went down. The car was on display and when it came time to pack up at the end of the weekend they asked if there was anything they could do to say thank you and my dad asked if there was any chance I could sit in the car for a few pictures because I was a huge fan of touring cars, they said to leave it with them and to meet them in the car park when they'd be loading the car back onto the transporter. There's me expecting to maybe get a closer look at the inside of the car when they bolted in a spare seat, gave me a pair of earmuffs to wear and strapped me in before Warwick hopped in and blasted the car around the car park (I don't know if he got out of first gear but he slalomed around some lamp posts and smoked the tyres a bit). I also got a signed poster and a few other bits of merch which I've still got somewhere. Super cool memory of my semi recently departed dad
Was fortunate enough to meet both Alain and his 97 championship car at Brands Hatch last year - happy to report Alain is an awesome person IRL, seemed genuinely touched so many people wanted his time all these years later.
This brings back memories of playing TOCA Race Driver on the PS2 with my older brothers. Those were the days man. I even remember watching them playing TOCA Touring Cars on the PS1, dang.
The way the AI is bumping and nudging each other and you down the straight is classic BTCC racing, especially if John Cleland or Derek Warwick were involved! You were driving like Roberto Ravaglia did every time he saw a Mondeo!
One of my favourite videos from the back catalogue of this channel were the old Touring Car RaceRoom lobbies online - I'd kill for something like that when this launches. I can't quite believe we are seeing first party Super Touring content in 2024, what a time to be a sim racer.
Super Tourers were some.of the best racers and it sometimes makes GT racing look tame, having missed out on watching them, the highlights on here were mental
Don't forget that what was also a massive factor in making 90s BTCC so good was Murray Walker - the YOLO full send elbows out racing commentated by THE. MOST. EXCITABLE. MAN. ON. EARTH!
@@JasonCliftJones The way he delivered that right after Cleland raised his "first" finger will forever be legendary. It was instantly and precise, and I still smile every time I see the clip :D
I quite liked Charlie Cox and John Watson on commentary too. I had the 1999 and the 2000 BTCC season reviews on VHS as a kid and the commentary between the two was hilarious! 😂
Watching BTCC growing up gave me a lifelong love of fast estate cars and was a major factor behind me buying a C63, an XF (okay, fast-ish then). Those 850 boxes…so cool.
My dad bought the road car S40 back in 96 when it was released new. I started following STW and BTCC races the year before and was super thrilled when TWR switched from the old 850's to the brand new S40's. First year was a lot of learning for Burt and Rydell but the years following went better and better until in 98 Rydell won the championship in the S40! It was a fantastic time and i still remember those action packed races in the BTCC, best racing i have EVER seen in my life! And not ot forget Toca Touring Car Championship on the PS1 which featured every car from the 97 season and Tiff Needell as commentator. They had every track that the BTCC had raced in 97 in the game it was just marvellous, i love this game until this day because i had my toughest but most gratifying races in this game! No race series and no race game has ever been able to recreate the thrill and excitement ii felt these few years.......
June 1998, Donnington BTCC- 12 year old me was taken by my dad in a corporate box with a his work. Nigel Mansell took part in the Mondeo and we witnessed one of the best races in British history. From 19th to 1st before his tyres went off on a drying track. As a massive F1 fan, this was something of a dream for me. I was in awe, everybody was! I think i need to try this out myself, looks superb! Keep up the good work Jimmer!!
Rydell, Menu, Plato, Reid, Thompson, Cleland, Warwick, Muller, Kox........... my childhood was watching back video tapes the old man recorded over and over. Greatest national racing series hands down
Saw that these were coming the other day and it's a instant pickup for me, hopefully more sims will add series like supertourers, group c, jtcc, jgtc and classic V8 Supercars too
The weaker classes of cars were always the shit for me. Sure, the supercars that are the fastest and bestest are fun in their own way, but when your car can kinda just about do the job you have to squeeze out every little drop of skill out of yourself to be on top. I'm more of a rally fan and S1600 or F2 Kit Cars are some of my favourite classes. They're not the slowest cars, but also they're not very fast overall, they're not the most nimble cars (though S1600 can be pretty nice with a good setup), they just kind of do everything just fine, nothing more, nothing less, and I love them for it.
Mid '90s BTCC was the best racing series I've ever seen. Plato, Menu, Warwick et al wheel to wheel balls to the wall racing. The sound track of the engines and the enthused commentary of the legend Murray Walker = EPIC!!!
"SimRacing is not just sweating out to gain a tenth on a two minute lap..it's immerse and enjoy" You almost made me cry, I wish there would be more SimRacers like you Jimmy. And also for the closure "there's much more than GT3s and GT4s just give them a chance"..really you're inspiring and I hope a lot of SimRacers would be inspired by you
Used to watch these at Donington Park, support Kelvin Burt (local lad). Got the pleasure of Frank Biela teaching me on iracing how to race the R8, watched him in his A4 when I was a kid. Love the touring cars. What a throw back. Thanks Jimmer.
Some of my best memories of the 90’s is watching mega OP Renault Lagunas with Alain Menu, Frank Biela, Emmanuelle Pirro in the A4’s, Rickard Rydell in the Volvo, Jason Plato in the Mondeo… man what memories!!!!
Jimmy in the 90ties i had to drive a 850 a customer complained it cut out at at 230 kph in saudi at 50 ambient. first time to test at that speed and because of the fault shit my pants. got the same passion as u awesome video cant wait for this to launch lol. still remember to this day avid sim racer at 63 lol
Absolutely bringing the amazing nostalgia vibes back love it nice one jimmer, super touring was amazing as got into btcc in 1999 and now I'm now a btcc fan of 25 years
My first ever racing game was Toca 2, while I was a bit late to appreciate this field of racing at the time I still have great nostalgia for the cars, and having since watched a lot of these BTCC seasons it really was a fantastic era of racing, engaging and edge-of-your-seat in a way few classes are today
It was the late 90’s early 2000’s era and the release of TOCA on PS1 that gave me the love for the BTCC. I also had a Murray Walker VHS tape called Murray’s motorsport mayhem and there were loads of touring car clips on there, I watched that tape thousands of times. I think my favourite car was the Green Laguna with the Nescafé branding that Plato drove. Got very lucky to see the car in the flesh on a training day when I worked for Renault. Such a great era of racing
I had a GTR Evolution mod with a full BTCC grid from the mid to late 90’s. So good you even got used to trailing the throttle to stop the rear stepping out when going deep into a corner while not on either brake or throttle.
That absolute send into Goddards on the final lap to STEAL that final point was PURE BTCC. Great video, great update. Just needs the Mondeo, the Vectra, the Primera and the Laguna!

I'd love to have one of the Peugeots in it. Be it the 405 or the 406, so that I can have the "track counterpart" to the awesome 306 Maxi. Supertourings and Kit Cars were really something else in the 90s. BTW, we probably all did the sequential gear ruler at school 🤣.
I played ToCA racing games a lot, and watched every BTCC race on Eurosport. Love that era and one of the reasons I still play Race 07 is because the fabulous Super touring mod by AndreasSFC. What you did with the ruler, I did with the TV remote. If you love NA engines you probably know Turismo Nacional and Turismo Carretera in Argentina. Screaming NA engines and great racing. Turismo Nacional BR is pretty cool too with hatches and 1.4 engines. There's also Turismo Pista in Argentina and Superturismo in Uruguay.
The type of racing that appeals to me is taking a car you can buy, souping it up for racing and then doing the thing. Being able to recognize the cars to me is very important. Stock cars if you’re in America
I used to love watching the old Cavaliers and BMW E36 coupes in BTCC back in the day, John Cleland vs Steve Soper 🙂 rubbing was definitely racing back then lol. Great vid as always and cant wait to give this pack a go.
I got into RRE3 with the 201x series of DTM cars - 6 Euros gets the three cars, and ability to race some mad kit. Then along came 1995 DTM and now this.... What with recent updates this game/sim has become a favourite for sure.
I had the 1998-99 on VHS when growing up in England. Im similar age to yiu, eas lucky to been able to go to the 1999 BTCC race where Yvan Muller won his first race for Vauxhall with that 3 wide move on the first corner. Nothing will ever beat the Super touring, in fact i live in New Zealand and many of the BTCC and Australian super touring cars are racing in NZ.
oh mate. i can tell you absolutely enjoyed it, coz i know i did. I think your next live stream, needs to be super tourers and just have am absolute blast with it. So many memories of watching super tourers back in the day. Always loved driving for volvo in toca 2.
The 1997 S40 is in fact the 1998 car with 97 skin. The front wheelarches are different on the 1997. Other then that. Just fantastic. Its a shame Iracing doesnt have this. Raceroom.... dunno... Never got into it.
The feels Found motosprt the same way just in the 98 season and loved the Volvo and Rydell, had the 98 tape review which broke, so got it on dvd again Hard racing, Rydell at croft 98, just aims for David Leslie coming out the pits was there for that too Great video
1999 Volvo S40 (which I think is what that model is based on) was my first car. Always liked the car despite it being slow as damn snail. Only after I got into racing did I discover what a cool part of racing history this car is. Super fun to drive in the game too :)
RaceRoom is my favorite sim. Waiting for AMS 2 1.6 and praying for good things, but right now....RaceRoom has supplanted AC, ACC, LMU, and AMS2 in my library as the 'preferred' sim. Things like this are why. Along with great VR.
Low taper faade. Dude you know what's crazy? Is that that low taper fade, like meme, dude it is still massive. Yeah. MASSIVE. I mean I'm seeing new ones that I've never seen before that have millions of likes and views, still, that are popping up all over the place. You know what else is crazy? Like how, all the other videos he's made since, l've seen a couple others show up on my for your page, you would think they would all be doing bette than they are. You said there have been a couple that have been doing great. No they're all doing massive. It's just- no, there's a few that aren't and you're just like how, how can a guy get that viral for this many weeks, and not just be famous forever. You know what I mean? I mean he's already a good artist, I love his music and he's dropping a new album, I think actually it's already out, gotta check it out. So at the end of 2023 there was a bunch of memes going around that were the memes of the month throughout the year, right, and I think that for the memes of 2024 the low taper fade is 100% going to be the meme of January this year.
I loved the old school BTCC back in the 90's the OG British Touring car championship.... BUT I still rate my Aussie Bathurst from back in the day above that. Both were great series ngl
I went to donington earlier in the year on the weekend you raced minty. So frustrating most of them breaking on the formation lap and then the last 2 taking each other out at the old hairpin..
Fun fact. Rickard Rydell (whos Volvo you drove) has been a commentator on the Swedish F1 broadcast for a couple of years now. Hes also the mentor of Dino Beganovic who is currently in F3 and going to F2 next season
Going for the full Jason Plato on some of those moves ;P Super Tourers were just the best, needs to come back. Peak "what if a Formula 1 team modded grandads runabout"
It's such a shame that "lower class" and older race vehicles are so neglected these days. I played a Toca demo back on my High School computer with these cars, and I really liked them. It's also where I first learned of the Mondeo, though I think it was also in GT2.
I too have a thing for these races and cars and have been longing for a good version to play. I think we may have found it. This is a pack I may need to get
remember watching this when the original 850 estate volvo made its entry in the BTCC still have some polaroid snaps form when the car was down in the shop...
I grew up with the BTCC since I was 3 (in the year 1990) and I remember the greats both the cars and the drivers - I'm a bit upset that Nissan, Renault and Ford are not there....but who knows
Love this, mine was btcc had the toca game on ps1 always looked up to tiff needel had so many VHS inrobbed off my dad of etc and btcc crashes and wins loved it
Love this era of racing. It's just a shame the CART-sanctioned series here in North America got a late start and went bust after just two seasons (at least we got the PacWest Dodge Stratuseseses out of it...insert Will Ferrell meme). I do need to issue a correction: The E36 3 Series was not the only rear-drive car built to Supertouring specs. The JTCC had, at various points, X100 Chasers, an R33 Skyline sedan, and a GF8 Impreza wagon with the front diff removed.
Derek Warwick once took me for a ride around a car park at the Devon county show in his 1998 BTCC Vectra because my dad was working on the National Deposit Friendly Society (financial services) stand and they kept the Vauxhall stand furnished with tea and coffee after their generator went down.

That is Epic man!
Great story!
Memories of Toca Touring car and supporting Alain Menu. Awesome.
toca was my first racing game :D
Was fortunate enough to meet both Alain and his 97 championship car at Brands Hatch last year - happy to report Alain is an awesome person IRL, seemed genuinely touched so many people wanted his time all these years later.
Toca was my first introduction to racing games. So much memories
Toca was an amazing game
i loved toca touring car game
1:23 Sabine Schmitz, she'll still be missed~ ❤
"Queen of the nurburgring" That lady could drive.
Yeah I do miss her. I still watch that almost sub 10min lap in the white transit she did to embarrass Clarkson from time to time.
I do miss her, but think of her Everytime turning onto the ring in sim. Fitting legacy
This brings back memories of playing TOCA Race Driver on the PS2 with my older brothers. Those were the days man. I even remember watching them playing TOCA Touring Cars on the PS1, dang.

I remember Matt Neal winning in his red Primera in...I wanna say 99? And the green and gold Peugeot that looked awesome but was kind of rubbish.
@durrell246 green gold Peugeot was 98 with Paul Radisich at the wheel
That’s our camera Derick that’ll be 2 grand please.
Murray walker commentary was as good as the racing
Raceroom is that one dead not so dead game
it has quite active development. the community isnt as big as something like ac or acc but you can easily find servers full with people
They are planning some big updates for next year: Drifting, DX12 and LFM integration through the in game servers.
imo, it doesn't really help that someone like Jimmer "only" makes like 3 videos a year of the game..
This feels like a return to your roots Jimmy. Love it.
Saw that these were coming the other day and it's a instant pickup for me, hopefully more sims will add series like supertourers, group c, jtcc, jgtc and classic V8 Supercars too
6:41 The headlight flash from the AI S40 after Jimmer muscled his way past 😂
Everyone should go check out Rickard Rydell's lap in the S40 around Bathurst! With Murray Walker commentating of course.
Motorsport truly hasn't been as exciting since Murray Walker retired
The weaker classes of cars were always the shit for me.

Just need the 850 Volvo Estate to near enough have the full set.
No where near full set yet. Where's the Vectras, Alfa 155s, Lagunas, Primeras and 406s!?
Race 07 (same people who made raceroom) had an expansion that had the S40 and the 850 Estate BTCC car in them. they were good fun to drive
Some of my best memories of the 90’s is watching mega OP Renault Lagunas with Alain Menu, Frank Biela, Emmanuelle Pirro in the A4’s, Rickard Rydell in the Volvo, Jason Plato in the Mondeo… man what memories!!!!
The Screaming Gearbox of the HONDA 4th Gear upwards gave me instant goosebumps! I love the cars mate! :)
Yeah JIMMER should really try this one out too!!!
Jimmy in the 90ties i had to drive a 850 a customer complained it cut out at at 230 kph in saudi at 50 ambient. first time to test at that speed and because of the fault shit my pants. got the same passion as u awesome video cant wait for this to launch lol. still remember to this day avid sim racer at 63 lol
I've got an S40 seat on my sim rig. Just an iconic car honestly. Love this video, I was grinning ear to ear watching you go round pushing for 10th
Absolutely bringing the amazing nostalgia vibes back love it nice one jimmer, super touring was amazing as got into btcc in 1999 and now I'm now a btcc fan of 25 years
9:00 reminds me so much of the Havoc series by Duke, must watch them again soon!
My first ever racing game was Toca 2, while I was a bit late to appreciate this field of racing at the time I still have great nostalgia for the cars, and having since watched a lot of these BTCC seasons it really was a fantastic era of racing, engaging and edge-of-your-seat in a way few classes are today
This looks amazing! Love that Volvo sound! 😍
It was the late 90’s early 2000’s era and the release of TOCA on PS1 that gave me the love for the BTCC.

I had a GTR Evolution mod with a full BTCC grid from the mid to late 90’s. So good you even got used to trailing the throttle to stop the rear stepping out when going deep into a corner while not on either brake or throttle.
9:13 aaah the move called a Max Verstappen.
You just love to see it!
I read your comment just as he verstappened the other volvo 😂
This is just Toca touring cars with better graphics & no death spins! Amazing! Great video Jimmer.
That absolute send into Goddards on the final lap to STEAL that final point was PURE BTCC.
Great video, great update. Just needs the Mondeo, the Vectra, the Primera and the Laguna!
I'd love to have one of the Peugeots in it. Be it the 405 or the 406, so that I can have the "track counterpart" to the awesome 306 Maxi.
Supertourings and Kit Cars were really something else in the 90s.
BTW, we probably all did the sequential gear ruler at school 🤣.
Love the editing in this, can tell you're excited with this update!
Absolutely loved the BTCC. The yellow and navy blue valvoline mondeo was my favourite livery of that time. Great times. All the best Jimmer 👍
I love the RSS GT-N pack for this. It's GT3 with none of the electronics or aero. so much more fun
Many memories of watching this after racing the 1/10th scale versions of these at my local club.
Absolutely epic
I played ToCA racing games a lot, and watched every BTCC race on Eurosport. Love that era and one of the reasons I still play Race 07 is because the fabulous Super touring mod by AndreasSFC.

Toca race driver back in the day was awesome. Some great content for that nostalgia hit 👍
90s BTCC is amazing especially with Murray Walker's commentary. I could happily watch old videos all day 😊
oh mate. i can tell you absolutely enjoyed it, coz i know i did. I think your next live stream, needs to be super tourers and just have am absolute blast with it. So many memories of watching super tourers back in the day. Always loved driving for volvo in toca 2.

Other then that. Just fantastic. Its a shame Iracing doesnt have this. Raceroom.... dunno... Never got into it.
The 90's BTCC is what got me into cars. The PS1 game was the start 😌
We need more videos like this, 90's racing was one of a kind🔥
The feels
Found motosprt the same way just in the 98 season and loved the Volvo and Rydell, had the 98 tape review which broke, so got it on dvd again
Hard racing, Rydell at croft 98, just aims for David Leslie coming out the pits was there for that too
Great video
I had an R/C Mondeo touring car when I was a teenager. This is awesome.
The S40 is by far my favourite car, such an awesome piece of machinery.
1999 Volvo S40 (which I think is what that model is based on) was my first car. Always liked the car despite it being slow as damn snail. Only after I got into racing did I discover what a cool part of racing history this car is. Super fun to drive in the game too :)
This is what also started my love of Motorsport ❤️ I loved the Renault Laguna.
They finally did it. A race class that I always dreamed to play on
RaceRoom is my favorite sim. Waiting for AMS 2 1.6 and praying for good things, but right now....RaceRoom has supplanted AC, ACC, LMU, and AMS2 in my library as the 'preferred' sim. Things like this are why. Along with great VR.
Me just getting into raceroom 2 weeks ago and seeing all these videos are awesome!!
Seeing you love the S40 is so fun especially as i am planning on converting my 1996 s40 into the supertourer inspired car.
Love this. Gives me that nostalgia for the old Toca Touring car games
Played TOCA 1 & 2, went to see them race regularly. My favourite era.
0:14 you know what else is still massive?
My mum
the low taper fade meme
Ukrainian war debt?
Junglist?
Low taper faade. Dude you know what's crazy? Is that that low taper fade, like meme, dude it is still massive.
Yeah. MASSIVE. I mean I'm seeing new ones that I've never seen before that have millions of likes and views, still, that are popping up all over the place. You know what else is crazy? Like how, all the other videos he's made since, l've seen a couple others show up on my for your page, you would think they would all be doing bette than they are. You said there have been a couple that have been doing great. No they're all doing massive. It's just- no, there's a few that aren't and you're just like how, how can a guy get that viral for this many weeks, and not just be famous forever. You know what I mean? I mean he's already a good artist, I love his music and he's dropping a new album, I think actually it's already out, gotta check it out. So at the end of 2023 there was a bunch of memes going around that were the memes of the month throughout the year, right, and I think that for the memes of 2024 the low taper fade is 100% going to be the meme of January this year.
This is sooooooo awesome 🤩 - I also hope it is going to pull some more people in to RaceRoom, they have such interesting classes...
seeing these super tourers is such a nostalgia trip wow.
I loved the old school BTCC back in the 90's the OG British Touring car championship.... BUT I still rate my Aussie Bathurst from back in the day above that. Both were great series ngl
Awesome, love this type of racing as much as you 🤗👍🏼♥️
I went to donington earlier in the year on the weekend you raced minty. So frustrating most of them breaking on the formation lap and then the last 2 taking each other out at the old hairpin..
Toca racing was so much fun. Loved it at the time ❤ love the vids jimma 👍
This content always cheers me up, you rock!
90s BTCC created an entire generation of car guys and influenced my automotive tastes for life.
This looks great!
Fun fact. Rickard Rydell (whos Volvo you drove) has been a commentator on the Swedish F1 broadcast for a couple of years now. Hes also the mentor of Dino Beganovic who is currently in F3 and going to F2 next season
Going for the full Jason Plato on some of those moves ;P
Super Tourers were just the best, needs to come back.
Peak "what if a Formula 1 team modded grandads runabout"
For me Touring Car racing is proper racing! 1990s BTCC and DTM are legendary cars!
I tried race room when my Gpro first came out and couldn't get it to work .This looks worth giving it another go for cheers ,
8:40, Speed Racer referenced! We were all kid Speed once, the only thing we're capable of thing about is auto racing.
It's such a shame that "lower class" and older race vehicles are so neglected these days. I played a Toca demo back on my High School computer with these cars, and I really liked them. It's also where I first learned of the Mondeo, though I think it was also in GT2.
I was super disappointed to open raceroom and not see super touring yet😢 but i cant wait for this to drop!
I too have a thing for these races and cars and have been longing for a good version to play. I think we may have found it. This is a pack I may need to get
can’t wait to get my hands on this! Shame the Renault is missing from the set though 😞 hopefully they’ll add it later…
3:20 i heard that too. Shame, his brother is alright.
remember watching this when the original 850 estate volvo made its entry in the BTCC still have some polaroid snaps form when the car was down in the shop...
I grew up with the BTCC since I was 3 (in the year 1990) and I remember the greats both the cars and the drivers - I'm a bit upset that Nissan, Renault and Ford are not there....but who knows
most of these are available for AC too, some payware, some freeware, all of them very good and fun
Love this, mine was btcc had the toca game on ps1 always looked up to tiff needel had so many VHS inrobbed off my dad of etc and btcc crashes and wins loved it
*In best Murray Walker impression* AND LOOK AT THAT! ITS BROADBENT! OH! OH! HE'S SENT IT! ;)
I’m old and this gives me Toca Touring Cars vibes 😊
iRacing needs this!
Love this era of racing. It's just a shame the CART-sanctioned series here in North America got a late start and went bust after just two seasons (at least we got the PacWest Dodge Stratuseseses out of it...insert Will Ferrell meme).
I do need to issue a correction: The E36 3 Series was not the only rear-drive car built to Supertouring specs. The JTCC had, at various points, X100 Chasers, an R33 Skyline sedan, and a GF8 Impreza wagon with the front diff removed.
I kinda wish they included the 850 estate too. I love that thing almost as much as the Group A 240 Evo.
Lots of bumping and barging, true touring car action!!!
BTCC super touring era was one of the best motorsports ever
SUPER TOURING RAHHHHHHH PEAK OF MOTORSPORT
Reminds me so so much of old school V8 Supercars just missing the raw of the 6 litre V8
As an Volvo owner this makes me happy
