Summary

To many, it was the greatest era of Touring Car racing ever seen, and a regulation set that became the blueprint for saloon racing all over the world. But just what is the greatest Super Touring car of them all? Joining Kevin Turner on the Autosport Podcast is the current British Touring Car Championship commentary pair of David Addison and Tim Harvey and together they rank the 10 greatest Super Touring Cars of all time. Amongst them, some heavy debate - Was the Vauxhall Cavalier the product of John Cleland's greatness as a driver? Does the Renault Laguna crack the Top 5 with its domestic success? Where does the Ford Mondeo end up despite its late arrival? And where does the legendary Alfa Romeo 155 end up due to Gabriele Tarquini's legendary 1994? Let us know in the comments what you think the greatest Super Tourers are and listen in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
