    Peak Yvan Muller that. The round prior to Donington, he took Thompson out of the race to keep himself in title contention and laughed it off post-race. Thompson gets his own back at the start of race 1, Muller starts giving it lip over the radio and gives a post-race presser complaining that he’s always racing fairly and others are crashing into him. Then he spends race 2 bouncing into the two egg:sport cars and eventually has to retire because of the damage he caused himself.
    Ridiculously talented driver, one of the best the BTCC has ever seen in terms of raw talent, but Christ alive he was a knob.

    There are two drivers on that grid who are still racing in BTCC today...21 years later.
    Tom Chilton was driving for Barwell Motorsport in his first season, aged 17 at the time.
    Colin Turkington was driving for Team Atomic Kitten which was West Surrey Racing, where he has subsequently won four championships. He was 20 years of age during this season.

      They coincided with some of the most dull and boring manufacturer models ever released unfortunately. There is absolutely nothing joyous about driving a road going Astra from that era and yet they dominated as soon as they hit the track.

    I have a total blank about this era of BTCC...
    I had no idea Matt Neil ever drove an Astra... in my head he went straight from a Primera to a Civic.
    So many legends. And Paul O'Neill.
    FWIW My no-mark iRacer's view of Donington GP is that it's horrible. That extra loop completely ruins the rhythm of the lap compared to the National circuit.

      Iirc the design was originally offered to Ferrari but they rejected it and Peugeot picked it up. Pininfarina designed it as an entry level Ferrari but they rejected it and Peugeot snapped it up. It was a very good looking car, especially with the V6 variant.
