In the new July 2008 issue of CAR Magazine (on sale now) we’ve got together some of the most successful touring cars from the last 50 years. We promised you video clips of our favourite moments and, as CAR’s resident motorsport anorak, the task fell to me to spend hours online seeking them out – a dream job!
Scroll to the bottom of this page to see my favourite moments, picked from what I think were the glory days – the late ’80s and most of the ’90s. The grids were full, the racing laugh-out-loud outrageous and the cars attainable. The BTCC even made Cavaliers cool.
Enjoy the clips, but feel free to disagree with the selection add your own comments!
