Not since the legendary Jim Clark thrilled 1960s crowds with his drives in Lotus Cortinas has a World Champion excited his fans as Nigel Mansell did at Donington Park in October 1993.
The 1992 World Formula One Champion and reigning Indycar Champ came home to drive a Ford Mondeo against the best British saloon car racers in the TOCA Shootout.
Our exclusive film of a memorable day features a pre-race chat with Nigel followed by all of the main action - including the in-car view from Nigel's Ford and three different angles on the shunt which made headlines in every British newspaper the morning after!
Probably one of the most iconic TOCA/BTCC crashes of the 1990s
BTCC...the BEST touring Championship in the world!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
TOCA shoot outs were wild, Best years of the BTCC.
Well said Steve! Funny, as a kid I always though this was Tiff's fault, but looking at it now it's clear it was all Nige's doing. But sounds like Tiff wasn't blameless for some other incidents around the place. Fun times.
I was at this race and saw this crash live. Mansell was a fantastic driver but there was a lot of resentment from toca drivers and they gave him a tough time as a result.
"there was a lot of resentment from toca drivers" Why?
@@Spyker8921 Mansell was F1 and indy car champion and was given a number of guest drives and he was overtaking a few established drivers so I think that's where it started
McRae was in the same boat , British rally champion and his boss DR put McRae in a Prodrive Beemer and all hell broke loose.
If Steve Neal come up to me like he did Dave Richards he’d of had less teeth or a snap on logo across his forehead to shut him up
Should of been a limited edition Mondeo Mansell
Broken rear left?
Was maybe 25 metres from this incident on the day, Nigel was caught out by the vagries of front wheel drive. For at least 2 laps prior to this crash he had been flirting with disaster and nearly lost the rear at old hairpin twice. Its clear he hadn't calibrated his reflexes for FWD and didn't have the experience to go full throttle to straighten up, lifting just creates more front grip and more oversteer... honestly he was clearly on the day and still obvious from the footage, well caught out by it.
I remember this well, a huge crash... ironic comments from Steve lol
nasty crash
The usual bigotted comments from Saint Soper. Mansell gave an interview from the US shortly after this and "went on record" to say "l didn't have the accident on my own". He lunged down the inside of Tiff at Redgate that lap, punting him out of the way, then carried too much speed into The Old Hairpin, reached into his bag of talent and found it was empty. Tiff stayed way left, then when Mansell speared left he locked up trying to miss him. Totally Mansell's fault. It's sad when you can't support your countryman in F1, simply because he's a massive bell end. Ditto Hamilton.
Soper was bob on; Mansell struggled with the car and he knew it.
Let's not forget that Soper could drive BTCC, DTM, LeMans and tested the Williams BMW F1 car.
