yup, thay are planning a historic racing series just for super tourers.

proper racing at last........... let the fun begin

admittedly, i can't see them getting john cleland to go mental round donington or steve soper deliberately whacking a car into the gravel, but its still going to be fun

its surprising just how fast they went... i saw the 600hp cossie sierras do battle, and within 18 months, the 2 litre super tourers were faster on every circuit in the land.

One thing that pisses me off about being born in 1990, missed the best generations of m'sport (imo)

And mike i saw them today, they had loads on show :) , loved the primera :cool:

Great stuff, it's a pity they won't let the late 80's group a stuff enter this as there are no competitive race series for these cars. Rs500 cosworths etc. In my opinion much more entertaing to watch a 550hp rwd struggling for grip!

Imagine if all the retired drivers returned to this. It would put the modern touring cars to shame!

or just the current drivers....

the old style super tourers, before they allowed them to move the engines & boxes, fit 18" alloys & cut the arches were the best imho, they had to clear a height block placed in the scrutineering bay, they had thin tyres, they looked like real road cars. they moved about on the track, & had zero downforce.. they were always going to be great. and they were.

anyone else remember how twr got into trouble with vaseline on the volvo 850 racers???
