Also features a young Jonny Kane, who would later race for the Strakka team at Le Mans, winning the LMP2 class in 2010 with Danny Watts and Nick Leventis.
Anyone hear the commentator near the beginning say "a winning streak that made him the 98 touring car champion" - talking about Alain Menu. He wasn't the 98 champion, Rickard Rydell was. Menu was the 97 champion.
I'm surprised Radisich was running as well as he did in race 1 - that Mondeo was utterly awful in 1997, makes me wonder if they were running some of the 1998 parts as a test.
Rest in peace will hoy 1952-2002
Rest in peace david Leslie 1953-2008
Recorded this in VHS in November 1997 when it was shown on BBC Grandstand...Murray Walker's last commentary on the BTCC, sadly.
@@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 We know!!!!!!!!!
Will Hoy was the only driver that Cleland said he trusted to go side by side with around the entire race track and not get punted off.
Can't seem to find highlights of the 1996 event

It was Nissans first win in 4 years since keith o dor won in the Nissan in 1993
Menu was just unstoppable that year - taking the old hairpin in 5th gear, outrageous 😂

It's safe to assume he meant '97 Champion, as the' 98 season had yet to begin.
Murray also said 22 top men
One of them being Paula Cook
Although as it’s Murray, we forgave him 🤣
R.I.P Murray Walker
I’m very sorry to hear that Murray Walker has passed away today aged 97

Nice to see the late Dennis Harris waving the chequered flag.
What's wrong with the Audi?
Leslie got Murray'd.
Ha! He really did!

As it says, 1997.
