The BTCC at its best: Pic Of The Week

A pair of Toyota Carinas as POTW; whatever next?

---

Murray Walker's commentary of the BTCC, as mentioned in our Touring Car Legends feature earlier this week, was always something to savour. The video of this, err, racing incident between Toyota team mates features another terrific Murrayism: "The car upside down is a Toyota".

It's been a busy 2014 for the BTCC already, with the comebacks of Alain Menu and Fabrizio Giovanardi plus an exciting collaboration with PH. As British touring cars is renowned for its tight packs, close racing and gratuitous body contact, a tribute to possibly the most ridiculous BTCC incident seemed right.

Was the move on? Watching the video makes Julian Bailey's lunge on Will Hoy look audacious at best. But risky passes and brave overtakes are all part of the BTCC's appeal, right? Bring on March.
