segun creo, lo que pasa en ese momento en que uno monta encima del otro y luego se dan, es facil y sencillo, se estaban jugando el campeonato de ese año, y segun como quedara uno por delante del otro, ganaria cleland(cavalier) o el coleguita del bmw....
cito textualmente de la web que le han dedicado:



1992 was to many, the most exciting British Touring Car season before or since.
The contenders were all quality drivers and the machinery very similar on performance.
With names like Tim Harvey, Will Hoy, Andy Rouse, Steve Soper, Jeff Allam, David Leslie, Kieth Odor, Tim Sugden and new boys Alain Menu and Matthew Neal, to name but a few.... in a selection of Toyotas, BMWs, Nissans, Vauxhalls and Peugeots, the season would set the strengthening BTCC crowds alight.
Cleland started the season with a confidence boosting vengeance by taking victory in the first two rounds at Silverstone and Thruxton, stamping his authority on the '92 season.



Next came Oulton Park. The Toyotas were strong, with Hoy taking pole and Rouse's second Carina sandwiching Cleland's Vauxhall on the grid.
JC lead from the start but was struggling for grip on cold tyres whilst trying to stave off the Toyota twins of Rouse and Hoy...it lasted half a lap before his tyres decided they disliked tarmac and the Cavalier fishtailed off the track into the armco in a cloud of soil and debris....11th place was all he could retrieve after eventually pointing the car in the right direction, giving Rouse the lead in the title chase.
Hoy, Harvey, Cleland and Allam shared the victories in the following races with Harvey taking 5 consecutive victories by round 14 at Donington, leaving Cleland, Hoy and Harvey all within grasp of the Championship with only the final round at Silverstone to go....four points separated the three drivers.

If 1992 was the season to end all seasons, the final meeting at Silverstone was the clash of the titans.

The unusually(?) inclement Silverstone weather started the chaos by lashing down during qualifying, shaking up the grid. Cleland had the title edge starting in 7th, with Hoy in 9th spot and the on form Harvey languishing back in 12th.






Early in the race itself, Steve Soper was on the receiving end of a "nowhere to go" shunt which saw the back of his 318is changing shape dramatically. This was to be the start of one of Soperman's renowned drives from the back of the field, culminating in one of the most controversial BTCC incidents ever.




Allam, Leslie and Rouse battled it out up front, slowing each other down as the title hungry threesome followed by a frighteningly quick Soper forced their way through the field.




On the penultimate lap, Harvey tried to take Hoy which ended in tears, the pair of them dropping back behind Cleland and the resurgent Soper. Soper's BMW took Cleland with a clean out-braking manoeuvre and soon after, Harvey followed through at Club and was soon waved through by his team-mate to take fourth.. At this point, JC was probably wondering what he could do to get those valuable points back to win the title...so...he went for it as Soper braked for Brooklands, turning in and almost using Soper as a cushion, he pulled alongside, his nearside wheels at least two feet off the tarmac.




From a non-biased point of view, what happened next was that Soper now had the inside line for the next right hander into Luffield, Cleland was probably a yard or two ahead when he turned in and Soper turned in as tightly as he could considering he was on the same payroll as Tim Harvey and "accidentally" harpooned Cleland putting the pair out of the race.




An angry and unbelieving JC, his Championship hopes gone in the gravel trap, suggested of Soper...."the man's an animal"




I have it from the horses' mouth that John and Steve are now talking!




Rouse went on to win the race and Tim Harvey's fourth place was enough to give him the Championship laurels.




Another near miss for the Scot!
