Harvey first raced in the BTCC in 1987, taking three Class A wins in a Rover Vitesse[2] In 1988 and 1989 he dovetailed sports car racing with BTCC outings, before finishing third in Class A in 1990.
He was 8th overall in 1991. His 1992 title was achieved while driving a BMW 318 coupe, run by Vic Lee Motorsport. He won five of the last seven races, having previously only won once. A dramatic final race saw him beat John Cleland and reigning champion Will Hoy to the title, after Hoy suffered an engine failure and Cleland clashed with Harvey's team-mate Steve Soper[3] He had a difficult 1993 season in an underdeveloped unreliable Renault, while he was outpaced by team-mate Alain Menu in 1994. He raced a Volvo in 1995, finishing 5th overall and taking 2 wins but generally unable to match team-mate Rickard Rydell. He then had 3 unsuccessful years driving a works Peugeot.
