Renault sport make some very capable road cars, but the ergonomics are horrible!

I was more a fan of the BTCC during the 90's. Mostly because of the Volvo 850 and Rickard Rydell.
...or the Mondeo and Alain Menu

As a kid, from probably about 7 years old, I constantly played this Platstation game; I think it was called Toca, and it was all about touring cars. This was in the mid/late 90's. I fell in love with them! The yellow and blue Renault Laguna really sticks in my memory, along with the Mondeo and silver and blue Volvo.

I am kind of surprised Renault does not slap a Nissan badge on more cars here in the US.

I ALWAYS liked that second one, ever since they first introduced them as spec series road racers.
I remember the R5 Turbo from it's WRC Group B days, even though it did not stand a chance once AWD became the requisite drivetrain in that series.

Tim Harvey used to live along the road from me (within around 500 yards) and, at the time, drove a Volvo 850 T5-R (I think it was) on the road.

The F1 Espace was cool in its own way, but the GT40 powered Transit Supervan was even cooler!

Thanks for that, Whitewolf. I might be able to catch some of the stuff streaming. The BTCC coverage is terrible, despite how CBC Sports apparently "covers" it. Highlights, in this age of a billion channels? What is this, 1984 and ABC's Wide World of Sports?
Well, if you couldn't watch then you all missed a great weekend of motorsport! The BTCC was, as always, compelling* as were the WTCC and the support races. Even the MotoGP this weekend was a good one.
*last November I spent a bit of time with Gordon Sheddon and Matt Neal at a corporate event - both nice guys, and interesting to hear Matt's side of the Neal/Plato beef. Good to see them both at the front. That pep talk I gave must have worked.
