John Cleland comes from an era when racing drivers were racing drivers, and touring cars were touring cars.

That's what you'd hear if you asked a nineties super touring fan about the BTCC.

Behind the on-track rivalries and the glamorous budgets, however were a group of superstar drivers who could barely have imagined the international stardom they'd enjoy, when they climbed behind the wheel of the racing versions of a selection of humble 'rep-mobiles'.

Every super touring driver will tell you that the bubble had to burst at some point, shortly before they tell you it was one heck of a ride!

In this episode of the Spinning Wheels podcast Guy and Paul go behind the visor of one of the world's best loved racing drivers who, you'll be pleased to know is every bit the character he was in the spotlight of his career.
