That Astra in the "low" part of the field they overtook won the Championship

Louise Aitken-Walker driving a similar GTE 16v came 5th in the Championship

More Astras in the Top 5 places that year of the Championship than the legendary E30 M3!

That one is good too, Tim Harvey recons they should have their own race series to put some entertainment back into motor racing.

I have the 88-91 BTCC and the 90-92 DTM (English Commentary) on VHS. All came from eBay. The 90 BTCC is a bit washed out colour wise. But it's watchable.

When I work out how to get it from VHS to DVD to an Avi file less than a gb. I'll contemplate spending a day uploading them

Which race was it when one of the RS500s broke a prop when it was flat out and literally "pole-vaulted" on it across the track?

Remember seeing it at the time
