The Autosport National Podcast

Tom Ingram and Patrick Watts At Super Touring Power 3

Autosport's Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner recently had the privledge of conducting interviews at Super Touring Power 3, the yearly tribute to the "Super Touring Era" of the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990's. In this episode of the Autosport National Podcast, here's one of those interviews as Kevin sat down with Super Touring Veteran and historic racer Patrick Watts, and 2022 BTCC Champion, Tom Ingram. Tom goes into detail about his first time experiencing the event; and the differences between the Touring Cars of then and now, while Patrick talks at length about how specialised the era was, and just how much it would set you back for a full rebuild on a 90's Super Touring Car. The numbers are eye-watering!
