years of following motorsport I decided that it was about time
I experienced my love of speed first hand. What follows is an

to the Dunlop British Touring Car Championship in 2005 are the
HPI Racing Friends Reunited squad and their colourful Lexus IS200s.

It
certainly was a dramatic return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring

winner in the series had been set up to race in the DTM series,
but he made a late return to the BTCC, and it certainly went with
a bang.
