Memories (since Super Touring era - 1991)/

2008: SEAT wins all three races with its Leon TDI. Jason Plato takes victory in races 1 and 2 while it’s Darren Turner’s turn in race 3.
2007: Having watched Darren Turner (SEAT) win races 1 and 2, Gordon Shedden (Honda) wins race 3 in front of his home crowd.
2006 : Fabrizio Giovanardi holds off a queue of cars in race 2 to achieve Vauxhall's long-awaited 100th BTCC race win. However, his defence on the final lap triggers a multiple pile-up behind.
2005: Robert Collard (MG) takes his first win in the BTCC in race 3 in pouring rain. James Pickford barrel rolls his SEAT in qualifying when it rams the chicane barriers.
2004: Anthony Reid (MG) takes two wins on home ground to close on points leaders, Vauxhall team-mates James Thompson and Yvan Muller who both spin in the races. The Vauxhall team also has to work into the night to repair Thompson’s battered Astra Coupe after a heavy qualifying shunt with Matt Neal’s Honda.
2002: Andy Priaulx survives a late half-spin for his and the Honda Civic’s first BTCC race win in atrociously wet conditions.
2001: Two wins for Jason Plato (Vauxhall) take him past team-mate Yvan Muller into the championship lead.
1998: Derek Warwick (Vauxhall) takes his only BTCC race win thanks to a correct tyre gamble in a wet-dry race.
1997: Frank Biela and John Bintcliffe dominate in their four-wheel-drive Audis, each achieving a win, a second and a pole position.
1995 James Thompson (Vauxhall) suffers an horrific 100mph testing shunt at Duffus Dip. His injuries sideline him for the rest of the season.
1994: Series leader Gabriele Tarquini famously barrel rolls at McIntyres after being tagged by Tim Harvey (Renault).
1993: Julian Bailey’s (Toyota) only BTCC race win.
1992: Knockhill’s first BTCC meeting. Colin McRae makes a one-off BTCC outing in a Prodrive BMW and is involved in some argy-bargy with Matt Neal’s BMW. The winners are Jeff Allam (Vauxhall) and Tim Harvey (BMW).
