Not sure I could name that many. My most favourites were Rickard Rydell, Tim Harvey, Steve Soper and Matt Neal.

We did a podcast episode on rumours from the era. It has a few more bits to it than the article too. https://pod.fo/e/207ff5 I started listening to that particular podcast last night. Haven't finished yet, I was too amazed to carry on listening when it got to the part of Gary Cole planning to enter...

It was a different Gareth Howell. To prove as such, the one who raced in the 2000s was only 12 in 1993. I thought the Janco Opels were supposed to race in 1998 with Johansson and Brunstedt?

The first BTCC race I ever watched was the opening round of the 1993 season at Silverstone and I have been hooked on the series ever since. My favourite driver of the Supertouring era was Rickard Rydell and I was so happy for him when he won the title in 1998!

2002:

GR Motorsport running Gordon Shedden in an Alfa Romeo 147.

Total Motorsport running Lexus IS200s for Steve Sutcliffe and Richard Dean.

But then so did James Rossiter.

Adrian Valles was also mentioned at one point.
