When Fords reigned Supreme - The Touring Car years
Absolutely love these cars, will always have a special place with me, would have loved to been around in this era to see some of these truly stunning cars own the tracks!
If anyone else has pics of track/race action then post em up, this is the thread to do it on people!

I'll have to search a few more places for these awesome cars, started getting a video collection together of the BTCC & ATCC (aus), is really worth it! Have to stop knicking things off the RSOC!

Nice one Ad, I have that very Dick Johnson car racing the Skyline's (R32 GTR's) in the Australian Touring Car Championships of 1988 & 1990 on video, absolutely stunning footage!
I just can't comprehend how well they are suited to track being RWD, they fookin fly past the Skyline's in the straight which is awesome enough but they handle too!
Red, Thought you might like the Mk3 buddy!
T4KAF, Think your right there mate, Beemer's ruled next year with the 2.0ltr N/A engine (BTCC)
Bump for more pics!

Never seen pics of the datapost with red wheel centres fitted.
Need Martin from RSOC to come over & post some of his library of touring car sierra pics
