    British or German Touring Car races to get hooked on?

    So, I was wondering if someone can suggest maybe their top-5 most exciting Touring car races in the last few years for me to try and find online. I've always found these races neat, just never had a ton of access to watch them. I'm not looking for crashes, just some hard, close races. Anyone have any specific races I should look for to try and get hooked?

    MODS: Feel free to move this to another section if it's appropriate, but this is the closest I could think of.

    While I can't remember a "boring" British Touring Car race, this one from 1998 at Donington with Nigel Mansell kind of set the hook for me.

    I recall one classic British Touring race......it was a night race (possibly their first?) and second place came up on the leader late in the race flashed his headlights furiously around one of the high speed corners and the leader drove off the course......"road rage!" was the announcer's description of the move, simply brillant. They had some wild races last century.
