Super Touring is the first book to tell the story of the 1990s explosion in touring car racing, when the British Touring Car Championship made household names of the likes of John Cleland, Alain Menu and Jason Plato. Charting the growth, boom period and ultimate decline, it revisits the drama and highlights of an unforgettable era.
‘The man’s an animal’ – so a furious John Cleland vented to millions of TV viewers after being punted out of the 1992 British Touring Car Championship season finale. In an instant, touring car racing had become box office. Super Touring: When Touring Cars Ruled the World is the story of the explosion of touring car racing in the 1990s – underpinned by regulations that led to highly competitive racing and spectacular cars – an era of unrivalled public and manufacturer interest in the sport. At the apex was the British Touring Car Championship, which enjoyed a winning combination of big personalities, crash and bash racing and increasingly exotic machinery. Super Touring comprehensively revisits and reappraises a spectacular decade of action, bringing to life the stories of the time, together with new and exclusive interviews with those behind the wheel and in the paddock.

Ben Evans is a lifelong motor sport enthusiast who braved hypothermia and sunburn to witness first-hand many of the incidents in the book. A former driver, commentator and magazine contributor, he spent more than 15 years immersed in the paddock before focusing on books. Super Touring is his second book, following 2022’s Legend of the Formula Ford Festival.
