Shame we don't have touring car action like this anymore, and how good does that quattro saloon look

[Sleeper_Avant]

Cav GSi`s and Primera eGT/eZX were my favourites!

****in Tarquini in the stinkin alfa took out Piro in the Quattro and the GSi, what a ****!


"the Quattro`s are taking Craners flat out, where as the lesser cars have to back off"

Also liked the btcc 1996 season with the A4s. best year for Audi with them finishing 1st and 7th as they only finished 8th and 9th in 97 + pulled out after that.

super touring is my passion,i watch it everyday!!

ive even got a4 supertouring style shifter lights!

I have to say,you watch btcc today and it looks more and more like a support race.

For me it was 96 and 97 that were the best years,as much as i cant stand bmw i think smokin jo winkelhock was a legend.i often think about how the cars would look these days if they still had the same super touring formula,and sorry but i really dont like rob austins a4 from last year.....and rwd?

[Sleeper_Avant]

oi dont diss RWD A4`s lol

for me the most brutal were the RS500`s but im a Ford lad at heart if im honest

propper racing!

Alain Menu in Renault hits Biela in Audi.......Renault front end destroyed and on fire. Audi.....carries on......made of strong stuff!

Had the pleasure of meeting many of these drivers when i serviced for a friend in supporting races to the Touring Cars. Most of them are gentlemen off the track but green-eyed monsters on-track

Love the touring cars too, during the 90s budgets got maxed and lots of teams couldn't justify the expense, Audi were also penalised for the quattro system and for other reasons! its a same that racing dosen't get as fun these days and manufactures cant get as involved in the uk. iam currently building a A4 STW replica at the moment, not quite as advanced as the original as the A4 was a completely different car and very advanced. I had sell the S2 to fund this project the car is a 1.8t Quattro sport shell, I've built a 1.8t 500hp engine, and I have high spec running gear for it, I still have a way to go but it's getting there, hope to have it finished end of 2013, ready to race in new year. All I need is some skills from the main man, Frank Beila and ill be away I will make a build thread one day! Cheers Danny

i met frank biela in 2004,i went to the touring car masters race at donington where all the previous super tourer champions were driving seat leon's.

first time i actually used my 6ft 3 18 stone to plough through a crowd.......

he said hello,how are you and i shook his hand and said " i know im english and you are german,but i want you to win!"

met david leslie (rip) and anthony reid in 97 on a free trip in the nissan hospitality suite at thruxton,dereck warwick too(lovely guy) kelvin burt- who said he hated the s40 compared to the 850 (miserable git) john bintcliffe etc etc

now we have the likes of tom boardman etc who just seem amateurs! for me the wtcc is the only decent series to watch now but i have to say that without murray walker commentating its boring!
