Stories from Touring Car's Greatest Era

If you were a motorsport fan in the '90s, you'll probably agree with us that the Super Touring era is THE era for the best racing action. A series that was so relatable to the average motorsport fan. The salesman rep car parked on their drive was the bedroom poster car on the weekend. People were making genuine car purchasing decision based on seeing that Vauxhall Vectra or Nissan Primera shunt its way to a paint-swapping victory. Those unfamiliar with Super Touring might just see a casual Ford Mondeo and wonder what all the fuss was about. What they didn't know was that Mondeo was closer to an F1 car than it was to the car that cut them off on the M25.

To properly reminisce about this era, we invited four Super Touring legends to Goodwood. Jason Plato, Steve Soper, Anthony Reid and Patrick Watts sat down for a trip down memory lane as they reveal all the untold stories of the era. If you're a motorsport fan of any kind, sit back, relax and enjoy.

If you want to see the Super Touring cars in action, there are limited Sunday tickets available at the 83rd Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport available. Make sure you don't miss out on the Shoot-Out finale of a lifetime.

Mark Busfield Posted on Facebook... And Why the Bow Ties?

"My son forwarded these photos sent from Jacob Ebrey. They got me thinking about how times have changed.

And Why the bow ties?

The whole RML /NME machine had worked tirelessly over the 97/98 winter to make a number of improvements to the car , team and strategy. We started the season with some confidence but still unsure of the competition, as all of us were sandbagging at shared tests. As the season started it was evident things had improved, and we had a strong package.

At Oulton park at the Friday free practice debrief, we had a conversation to what we would do if we had a pole position on Saturday, we agreed that engineering and management would wear a bow ties on race day.

That year David Leslie would pick up two victories, including the first for the car at Silverstone in April. But the star of the season would be Anthony Reid picking up eleven pole positions and seven victories, the most of any driver. So the bow tie became a common sight on Sundays.

In reflection it had a dual significance one as a sign to other teams we were on pole, and also that we didn’t take ourselves too seriously. It created a great sense of accomplishment in the team and helped to build confidence.

A few years later when we told the story to Eric Nève the Chevrolet motorsport manager, he delighted in telling us the Chevrolet logo is actually a bow tie , so as the Lacetti improved performance and got its 1st pole position the bow ties came out but were gold rather than red.

Nothing sounds better in your head set than listening to the race engineers commentary, saying, purple sector 1, purple sector 2 , purple sector 3 , and that’s pole! It was then down to media team to update Cefax and teletext and tell the world to help sell some cars"

"We didn’t know how good we had it. The Super Touring era of the ‘90s is quite often cited as the pinnacle of wheel to wheel racing. The car sat on the next door neighbour’s drive was swapping paint with your parent’s car with the added spice of straight cut gears and Murray Walker’s enthusiasm for the sport. #FOS

At the 83rd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport - April 18-19, we’ll be celebrating the Super Touring era with a demo and Shoot-Out, so if you miss these racing days, get your tickets for #83MM now."
