@@darren2514fv i thought until recently Harvey and Neal were still racing cos i know Plato is definitely still racing.....and hes like in his bloody late 50s or now in his 60s cant believe it
Fantastic bit of BTCC racing. When BTCC was epic and much better, with real showroom cars that were stripped out and uprated for safety and speed. Unlike todays cars
Oh I know, everything in the world was so much better back in 1987. The music, the movies, the BTCC racing, the food, the weather, things even had better colours and smelled nicer in 1987.
The BTCC at the best it ever was IMO...with the best commentator ever!
Leech a legend amongst SD1 BTCC !!!
My dad owned that car for a short while
Thanks for uploading this video Richard. From back in the days when Silverstone used to be good.
Good old Dennis Leech in his 18L Rover :D
1987 Grand Final and Tim Harvey at 25 the youngest BTCC champion (He was Class A Champion) and overall runner up

And matt Neal?
@@benconway9010 Tim Harvey is now retired and is now working for ITV as a co-commentator

Well put it this way none of those cars behind had any chance of catching the Cossie 500 wat so ever I mean he's just left them behind
Wasn’t it an XR4t
@@leeallen8415 In the last two races of 1987 the ICS cars were Sierra Cosworth RS500
These early Sierra's were not 500's
@@MrPlumbitrightthat ICS rouse car is in fact a RS500, has both rear spoilers and front bumper.
This race was the sign of things to come for the championship. Sierra wins easily. Rovers on their way out
