S6 E4: Thruxton 1995

In this episode of Stories From SuperTouring, we look back to Thruxton 1995 - the meeting that had it all — chaos, controversy, and career-defining moments — and touring car journalist Andrew Charman was there to witness every second. From the horrifying, high-speed crash that sent Charlie Cox rolling through the Club chicane — a moment that stunned the paddock and redefined safety discussions — to the breakthrough victory for a young James Thompson, taking his first-ever BTCC win at just 21 years old, it was a race day no one could forget. Andrew shares his insider stories from the pits and paddock, the tension between teams, and the fierce on-track battles that typified the SuperTouring era. With the season barely underway, the intensity was already at full throttle — and Thruxton lit the fuse. Fast, raw, and unforgettable — join us as we rewind to one of the BTCC’s most explosive weekends.
