I I remember this race and season very well as i worked for Nissan motorsport at that time the primera was an incredible race car had a fantastic chasis and had a very distinct awesome sound we won the drivers championship and the manufactures title that year. I also had the pleasure of knowing laurent Aiello and i rightly predicted he would become the drivers champion and he did i even remember having to pick laurent up from the airport when he first arrived in the uk to join the team i proudly have a large framed print of the primera gt on my living room wall i even have a couple of now rare laurent aiello mugs somewhere !! lol anyhow was a period of time that i will always remember unfortunately i find the modern day BTCC kinda boring nothing like it was back then !!

@lastp6905 Жыл бұрын
Didn’t like Aiello at the time, he didn’t have the same passion for the BTCC that the other drivers did. Maybe if he’d done more than one year he’d have thought differently

Like a number of people who have commented, I have many happy memories of watching this as a child. Sometimes nostalgia can play tricks on you: ‘’Was this really as good as I remember?’’ in this case, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, there is a strong case to be made that Super Touring was one of the greatest set of regulations in the history of motor racing.

At 8:30. I can only see that as David Leslie's fault. The way he emerged back on track was very dangerous. Instead of sensibly keeping to the outside of the track, he merged in the centre of the track. Thereby, cutting Anthony Reid up. That was stupidity from Leslie. Reid was just following the racing line

Yes I loved all Btcc races as a kid growing up in the late 90s I loved all the noises the cars makes, my parents took me to the race which Matt neal won in 1999, we had a conversation about btcc last week and I just had to look up the old videos which bring back good memories of a much better time of living back in the 90s and early 2000s when I still loved the btcc and when life was more normal and safer. It’s funny how we get back to liking things we use to watch and like years ago I n a pandemic especially since we have more time at home and think about things more! I can’t help but think when I watch the 1999 race when Matt neal I keep thinking I was there with my parents near the finish line I wish we could see the audience clearer lol
