During the 1960 and 1970s the British Touring Car Championship was very diverse in car with many British and American cars competing. The heavy yet powerful American cars would be fast down the straights but slow in the corners, while the British cars were light yet lacked power and would fly though corner catch more powerful cars on the straights, this made for some of most intense and exciting racing to ever exist.
