Even before the green light went up on a packed 1996 schedule, the pundits were predicting this season could be the best ever for the world’s most prestigious Super Touring series - the British Touring Car Championship. And how right they were! Throughout the year, fans were able to witness every driver to have ever won the FIA Touring Car World Cup or the World Championship lined up on the grid in cars representing no less than 10 manufacturers. Cutting edge cars from Audi, Volvo, Renault, Honda, BMW and Vauxhall were piloted by drivers noted for spectacular displays of tin-top driving - Biela, Rydell, Menu, Leslie, Ravaglia and more - competing for one of the world’s most sought after motorsport titles.

Great names such as Will Hoy, John Clelland, Jonathan Palmer, Mark Hales and Robb Gravett were just a few of the stars to take to the track. The season was dominated by a back-and-forth tussle between BMW’s Will Hoy and Vauxhall’s John Clelland, but with notable appearances on the top step of the podium for Tim Harvey, Steve Soper and Andy Rouse.

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.
