TouringCarTimes has gathered our selection of the top ten videos of touring car racing throughout the 2014 season, featuring crashes, hard fights and a lot of action.

Number 10 – WTCC Salzburgring start crash chaos
We start the list with position number ten and the chaotic start of the second FIA World Touring Car Championship race at Salzburgring.

Number 9 – STCC mass crash

Number 8 – Simon Belcher’s high-speed Thruxton crash
Simon Belcher crashed in the fastest corner of the fastest track in Britain during the third British Touring Car Championship race at Thruxton. The Speedworks Motorsport driver fortunately walked away unharmed while his Toyota Avensis needed extensive repairs.

The BTCC races at Silverstone saw a tough fight between several cars for the final podium spot, with Colin Turkington, Fabrizio Giovanardi and Jason Plato getting right into the thick of it.

We enter the top five with Rob Collard fortunately escaping unharmed from a huge roll at Silverstone after colliding with an already spinning Jack Clarke at Silverstone.

Number 2 – Final laps of the Bathurst 1000
Close to making number one is the nail-biting finish of the 2014 Bathurst 1000 race where Jamie Whincup ran short on fuel, sending Chaz Mostert on a mission to get past on the very last lap of 161.

Number 1 – The 0.000 second finish at San Juan
Our number one touring car video of 2014 is the 0.000 finish between Matías Muñoz Marchesi and Leonel Pernía in the Super TC 2000 race at San Juan. Chevrolet driver Marchesi was controversially declared winner by the stewards, a decision long debated after the race. Judge for your self, was the decision correct?
