@captmcneil Жыл бұрын

They had a few ideas there, like SIPS. Although I don't know whether the bars specifically did very much. Saving the car from collapse here is most likely the roll cage. I do not want to downplay Volvo's commitment to safety, however.

When the cars were what it said on the tin! Not like today's homogeneous steel cages with a manufacturer's tin work draped over it! I still remember the glory days of Ford Sierra, one, two, three and then a load more behind them. Good old Volvo 850, built like a tank, and a bit of a handful in the corners, but generally not bad. Just a pity that Volvo dropped out before they could make a real impact on BTCC, when it was still British Saloon Car Racing. Good old Murray Walker too, back in the day when he commentated on all aspects of motor sports.

Fantastic era for the touring car championship with all the works teams and heroic drivers too. The accident between Smokin Jo, Menu and Hoy at Thruxton really is a hilarious accident. It looks almost impossible for that to be the outcome lol. Menu on the radio was priceless as well. He declares it was the BMW that pushed him off, but thought his teammate was the one who started it. Winkelhock obviously didn’t think it was his fault either judging by how annoyed he was afterwards. To me it looked like Menu actually caused the first pincer movement, just before the cars go out of shot? Also, can anyone identify what caused the pile up at Brands Hatch? No cars actually collided with Menu or Ravaglia after they spun going down the hill. It looks to me as if one of the factory Vauxhalls (so either Thompson or Cleland) makes a sudden jink to the right for no apparent reason while going down the hill and this caused the tenpin effect. Goodness knows what caused the “pea souper” in the mondeo haha

The golden era was amazing without the weight ballast restricting, the reverse grids and the stupid, idiotic rules they have now. Pure racing, great cars and magical times for the BTCC. Super tourer era was the best, understand they had to cut costs but the restrictions of racing in touring cars turned many fans away from 2000 since the super touring era.

In the 90s and early 2000s, I was a huge motorsport fan and watched lots of racing series, especially touring cars, formula 1, NASCAR etc. Today, I don´t watch anything anymore besides MotoGP (which is still great). Times just have changed to the worse. Racing isn´t exciting anymore. Cars are just plastic cans and prototypes with too much aerodynamics and racing isn´t thrilling, but just boring.
