When Nigel Mansell did a touring car shootout - and crashed!
Added 2025-03-28 12:18:36 +0000 UTCRelive Nigel Mansell's memorable TOCA Shootout appearance at Donington Park in 1993 - and the dramatic conclusion to a typically hard-charging race from 'Red 5'.

I know this ain’t a place for questions and also I’m probably crossing podcasts here (the race stories from supertouring )but I thought I’d fire one anyway curious to see what you lot think. Given 1. Mansell was abit younger and only just come out of f1 2. The cars were abit less sophisticated with less aero pre 95 3. Ford much more competitive then 98 Would mansell of had a better time if he did his Btcc stint in 1994 could have challenged for more races then just that soggy day in donington 98?
