Mondeo Man33 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
This isn’t my album but it’s a great collection of pictures from a somewhat forgotten event, the 2004 Super Touring Challenge at Snetterton.

Does anyone remember this event? It’s possibly a tenuous suggestion but it could be regarded as the last time we saw any kind of competitive super tourers take to the track in the UK, since there were several entries from the Norwegian Touring Car Championship which was still using ST cars.

I find this an interesting era for ST cars, the ‘wilderness years’ if you like, i.e. between the end of the BTCC ST years and the beginning of ‘historic’ ST races from around 2009. I’m sure there are many of us here who enjoyed seeing the cars being campaigned in club championships or the excellent Formula Saloons series.

Just a BARC event with the Vege series making a guest appearance. Overseas series have raced in the UK on occasion; Portuguese Caterhams and Norwegian Chrysler Neons being examples.

It was a one-off event born from the Formula Saloons series. FS had already been the home to a number of STs but that series folded in 2004 after a poorly supported first round. Entries came from the ex-FSaloon regulars plus a handful of overseas invites.

An ex-Jim Richards R32 couldn't even touch it, although Goode was of a higher level than a lot of the South East Asian competition of the time. It apparently did 0-140mph in 16 seconds.

Biased because it's an Alfa winning and this is what I grew up watching. Outdated car, fairly independent at the time, and taking it to the fully-fledged factory BMWs. Possibly looking at this with rose-tinted glasses but I still think mid-00s S2000 was the 'best' era of TC racing, even if Class 1 and 2 were more bombastic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyCXJaxTv1Y

Might also be that I never grew up with it, but Class 2 looked amazing too...BMW vs Alfa, the rivalry of the century.

Also, you can say a lot of things of TC cars... but the sound of their engines is top tier.

Officially the winning margin was 0.000! De Simone pipped Giovanardi on the line for his only win of the season. I assume it was awarded to the BMW racer by checking a photo finish system.

Dangerous to play the assumption game when it comes to Italians. Even more so when an Alfa is involved

But yes, De Simone was rightfully awarded his first win.

This is the closest finish on the TC to date (iirc) its only 0.0016, in Buenos Aires 2005.
The winner was Rafael Berna (on the blue car) because the sensor was installed on in front of the rear axle, while Silva's car (Red one) was after of the rear axle.
After that race, it was ruled that the sensors should be after the rear axle, same as Silva's car.
