BTCC 1988 Review

Synopsis

When BHP Sport were commissioned by BBC Grandstand to cover the Dunlop RAC British Touring Car Championship it guaranteed that British viewers were in for some of the most action-packed motorsport ever seen on television. The recording was to be supplemented by sometimes as many as four on board cameras among the front runners in the field, ensuring that every major incident in all the twelve rounds of the championship would receive first class coverage. But it still needed the drivers to respond, and in Britain's premier saloon car championship, they did so superbly. Andy Rouse set the pace in the Kaliber Ford Sierra Cosworth, but was hounded by his great rival Steve Soper. Frank Sytner mounted his championship challenge from the fiercely contested ranks of the BMW M3's. And all through the season we saw door handle racing with many hopes ending in the catch fencing and sometimes beyond.
