<h2 id="british-tourism-championship-btcc">British Tourism Championship - BTCC</h2>

These videos from the 1998 British Touring Car Championship final race (**BTCC**) show why this category is one of the top 3 cars in the world.

BTCC tourism car races are exciting for spectators because of the high conductive level and the parity between the various cars competing. Another interesting factor is how they keep the aesthetics of the street car almost unchanged, except for small spoilers or racing wheels.

The videos included here provide a summary of the 1998 season&#39;s final race at Silverstone, where Swedish rider Rickard Rydell will be crowned Champion with a Volvo S40.

The race was won by James Thompson (Honda), **Rickard Rydell** was second and Yvan Muller (Audi) third.
