matt neal is the correct answer, both he and reid got three outright wins last year but neal has his two from 99 & 00, guess reid could get this record this year

Jeez guys - 2ltr touring cars aren't my forte, having grown up on Etcc XJSs, BMW 635s, Rover SD1 Vitesses and the flying bricks themselves - Volvo 240ts. I gave up on BTCC in 91, so I need to delve back a but here goes:

a) How many times has a Holden Commodore won a BTCC race?

b) When (year)

c) Where

d) Driver


Cheers, LJ79

I agree, i found the Group A regs much more to my liking.

A Commodore's only won once i think. 1987 at Snetterton with Mike O'Brien driving the Allan Docking Racing VK Commodore (Grice's 1986 ETCC car)

SLightly off topic, but after ADR dropped the Commodore after 1988, was it them who ran Mike O'Brien's white Sierra in 1989 (#17)?

Two rounds of the 1988 ETC were run to a '2 Heat' format, with an overall result decided by combining the results of each heat.

A) What two tracks hosted the 'twin race' rounds
B) What was historically significant about the second time the 'twin race' format was tried.

Yes quite right. It only dawned on me after i switched the computer off, all the Egg-and-Burger talk had me thinking about the ETC (plus i've been watching the ETCC 1988 review over the weekend).

I was gonna ask a BTCC question instead but we already have an answer
