Great feature on Speedhunters!

My old race team sold two of the Mondeo Supertourers, i think they were £40k each. Not bad considering they were over £250k to build!

Some for sale...

used to love spending weekends on the lash watching these even met mansell on a campsite at brands one year too.

I used to watch it religiously when the likes of Rickard Rydell, Alain Menu, Gabriele Tarquini and Yvan Muller were in it. Loved it to bits. And the playstation games. Oh my.

Must remember to try and catch some of this years races - its on ITV4 now isnt it?

Where do you think the inspiration for car modifying comes from? Motorsport! BTCC cars of the mid 90's have fapping awesome stance.

The cars looked awesome back then, just looked like slammed showroom cars with massive wheels. Was part of the appeal imo.

They look s**t these days with the stick out arches etc.. Heavy hit on the ass end it ends up with broken suspension, no bodywork to deflect it like the good ol' days.
