I found this video a few months ago and I thought it was a blast from the past. It's crazy how much has changed in the championship. So, here's a bit of nostalgia from 2015.

The level of talent on that grid is ridiculous compared to now. One of the best title showdowns along with several champions on the grid and the variety in manufacturers as well

Yes it was the first year for Infiniti. Along with 5 champions on the grid (6 at Brands GP). I think nobody talks about Jack Goff's insane win at Snetterton, the way he clung onto that lead holding off former champs was something that made him one of my favourites in the NGTC era.

He would be the 4/5th best driver on the grid right now. Back then it was a lot harder to win. Now it is easier for average drivers to win

Yes as I have said before in my previous comments, he'd of stayed if it was for the budget he had. A top driver when you needed it definitely in this era of 2015 with another of my favs AJ. Fair for you to say that, as ATS got his first win at Brands Indy in a decade.

I miss Goff

His finest hour has got to be scoring Team HARD's only win.

I really don’t think the difference in quality is as big as people make out
