BTCC clashing legends Neal and Plato part 2 // Jonny Smith's Late Brake Show

[@JoeAchilles1]

Found this Neal and Plato series so interesting! I've always been the biggest Plato fan and had no time for Neal, how short sighted of me, both absolute legends and great to see them laughing about the tense years 🏁

[@Hunter-NG]

I agree with you but you can see in Matt's face that he is still fuming about it. He is raging inside.

[@john1703]

For me it was the reverse, but I agree with the last sentiment wholeheartedly.

[@3storiesUp]

LOVE your reviews Joe. Keep up the excellent work.

[@dagnut]

@@Hunter-NG I get the impression from Matt that he's used to intimidating other drivers and plato was not intimidated. I think most giants are used to things going their way. Just be clear im not saying Matt is a bullyor anything of the sort, I just think he is used to people avoiding confrontations with him.

[@cam_121]

Same here, really changed my perspective

[@ksnowden11]

From this point on he must be known as Jason “couch” Plotato

[@FISHINGMINTY]

The horizontal armchair sitting I've ever seen :OD

[@readventurekids]

@@FISHINGMINTY I swear he spent most of the time searching for old 20p pieces ...

[@paulkelsall8824]

Best thing I've seen for ages parts 1 and 2. Takes me back when it was proper racing with proper touring cars

[@AidanMillward]

Compared to Germany and Australia, it still is proper touring cars.

[@brianr9529]

You need to watch the plato interview on his own it's hilarious.

[@jackchallis9456]

@@AidanMillward Japan too. Those things are like spaceships by comparison, LMP2 fast...

[@irvings159]

God, this has been one of my favourite interviews of recent times, your channel is going strength to strength 💪

[@Moggster23]

I could of easily watched a lot more of this, 1 of the best things I've watched on KZbin in a long while and I know I'm not alone in thinking that. Well done to everyone who put this together.

[@slotcarmad4370]

Low budget is what KZbin is all about for me this interview let us fans in to the real life of btcc absolutely fu@king brilliant thank you Jonny, Jason, Matt And all of you that had anything to do with bringing this to us 👏👏👏👏

[@whitemoor66]

Absolute gold. Best thing I have watched on KZbin this year.

[@SampaioLipe_]

"I've made a bridge" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Ade_1]

Missed the holeshot 😂

[@Mrthegeeman]

We always called stools getting air 'Tracy Island'. Especially in race track loos.

[@chrisfisher2839]

This series was utter brilliant Jonny. I laughed my socks off at some of the antics JP mentioned. Just shows that behind the scenes these guys have huge respect for each other despite what tv & the tabloids portrayed.

[@jackchallis9456]

I think there was genuine dislike and distrust between them when they were both at the top, of course media and fans amplified it. I'll bet there's always been respect between them though, and i was sure they'd put it behind them once they finished racing

[@jonboyy1327]

Watched both Jason & Matts separate videos already including the one of them together. Absolutely brilliant !

[@cricketjumper5677]

Outstanding Mr Smith. Fantastic stuff and I will hand on heart say its totally changed my opinion of Matt Neal. Brilliant. 👍👍👍👍👍 Cannot wait to see these two old warhorses at it again in 2021!

[@SebastianOutzen]

This is brilliant. Loved these two episodes more than anything else you've done. I don't watch TV, I don't want to see amateurs doing stuff on telly, so I tend to watch a lot on youtube where professionals show their skill and teach you something once in a while. Listening to these two guys is more inspiring than anything on telly - Good job Jonny. You made the settings and asked the right questions. Same goes for the other brown chair episodes. Keep you the good work

[@cozza819]

You and everyone else now buddy. Seems everyone is ditching TV finally :)

[@colonelbean]

I’ve not enjoyed a series of videos as much as this in a long, long time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@sharkeyist]

Yes johnny!! Quality interview! How pt2 answers the questions of pt1 is a slick bit of edit. 👍

[@OldSkool80s]

Really refreshing to see all these interviews without there being loads of replays of the incidents. Just an "idol" chat between "friends"

[@thepumpkingking8339]

Thanks Johnny, for the early XMAS present. I must admit though, there was more entertainment in just any five minutes of this, than the whole of the last two episodes of the Grand Tour put together. Now I'm off to dig the old PS1 and TOCA Touring Car Championship after watching this.

[@danjackson3672]

Jonny, that trailer needs a wrap from a well-known wrapping company, followed by a full detail and PPF from another KZbinr's PPF company. Them get an exhaust and new wheels fitted whilst documenting the installation. Then you should drive it very slowly through central London over the space of 8 videos. Shortly afterwards, post a video saying "I'm selling my trailer!! What should I buy next???"

[@AndyWoodall]

Hi guys!

[@jamiewilkinsracing]

@@AndyWoodall Nailed it.

[@chrisclark7181]

They should say, im giving it back, what should I finance next ?

[@JoeAchilles1]

Trailer definitely needs a Remus exhaust on it!

[@neildaniel8232]

And some gaudy coloured Minilites! Maybe some Lexus-style lights too, full Max Power.

[@alxgu198]

Janspeed exhaust 😉

[@dap4097]

Absolute legends the pair of them. Two of the best ambassadors for motor sport👍

[@runawayplane6166]

Jonny Smith, what an absolute gem of an interview you’ve managed to sort out. So much info and interesting stories from two old rivals. Nobody else managed to do that. Well played, Sir!

[@TheAillingworth1975]

Amazing, two legends and great interview. Well done Johnny, best interview in years, and respect to both guys.

[@YellowPinkie]

This BTCC set of vids is a real treat. It's easy to forget this is KZbin; the quality of production, the number of cameras, the set-up, the editing, the audio, the location, the guests, the quality of the questions. This is superb quality. Thanks Jonny! Have you ever considered a career in telly? ;-)

[@dadst3r]

This series has been the best thing I have watched all year. To bring together the two legends of BTCC and have a chat about it was fascinating viewing. Brilliant.

[@nicholasgibbons6122]

Jonny these interviews were fantastic. My favourite drivers telling all, it seemed to be a really friendly chat between chums, very entertaining. Well done.

[@DorifutoRabbit]

This was a fantastic series, thanks for taking the time to arrange it, it's good to see the calmer side of racing drivers and I'm wanting to start watching BTCC again now!

[@peterburt3970]

This is total gold, Jonny ! A brilliant trio of interviews, superbly conducted and produced. Thank you! Can't wait for more...

[@andrewshore262]

Broadcast quality - the setting and production values, but so much better than you’d find on a television channel unshackled from their restrictions. It’s massively interesting when you bring together two rivals from the past and they tell it as it is, warts ‘n all, a sublime watch............absolute excellence Johnny

[@alibro7512]

Jonny, if these videos don't get you to 1 million subscribers there is no justice in the world. Brilliant, just Bloody brilliant.

[@bikerforever68]

Absolutely fantastic watching this interview,two legends of the racing world and in such a stunning setting as well,very well done sir 👍🏻

[@toaztelg]

Thoroughly thoroughly enjoy these interviews! Keep them coming, if possible! 👍😊

[@WeeGee58]

These 2 episodes have been some of the most enjoyable and entertaining automotive content on KZbin. Well done Jonny keep it up.

[@AndyQuinton]

Best car nerd channel on KZbin, this series is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for some brilliant entertainment over the last year, it's really helped bring a bit of joy!

[@adamclark6756]

After having watched these two at it for so many years, it was nice to se them together just chatting and being nice to each other. I was always more of a Plato fan but had big respect for the Matt Neal/Flash Gordon team too. Brilliant viewing over the last two instalments, Thanks Jonny.

[@TW-abc]

Absolutely THE best thing I've watched this year. Could have listened to them for hours. Well done Jonny.

[@cgturbo975]

Always liked Jason but have massive respect for Matt now, awesome interview.

[@maxflight777]

Such a fantastic man.

[@Louis360]

[@cadlee]

What an amazing set of videos with these two. Thank you Jonny. Please keep doing what you’re doing. It’s bound to pay off eventually.

[@johngoddard447]

Thankyou Jonny. Very refreshing to not have to wait 10 days for part 2. And fantastic to hear the stories from 2 legends.

[@dse7647]

Just superb Jonny. This should be on mainstream TV. Very of the moment. Matt and JP on form too. Lovely to hear about all those stories. Well done!!

[@italsounds001]

This is the best interview I have seen in a long long time, thanks Jonny, Matt & Jason.

[@HX920]

Watched part 1 and 2 back to back....absolute quality!...great to hear the stores of their past rivalry and see how they are with each other now. Top work Jonny....love these interviews; keep ‘em coming in 2021...Merry Christmas!

[@MrAdopado]

Once again ... great stuff. A genuinely interested interviewer who knows when to sit quietly and let the stories flow. I can't fault it. Jam packed full of content and entertainment.

[@richb326]

Brilliant interview with Matt and Jason. Brought back so many memories of watching 90’s BTCC and those guys knocking lumps out of each other

[@BkSMedia]

Jonny consistently raising the bar for these types of chats. Loved both parts!

[@johnf216]

Two absolute legends of Motorsport. You are delivering some stunning interviews Jonny, great stuff!

[@JHamilton791]

My trailer has 10" wheels which opens you up to golf cart wheel covers. I went with faux Crager mags. Important stuff.

[@2cvchamp80]

Excellent video. Watched these two knocking crap out of each other for years. A great incite into top touring car drivers and their relationship. Great work.

[@julianclay4611]

.......and these 2 films are the reason you are still without question the finest motoring journalist and entertainer of my time. Thank you. I don’t know how you will top these films but I am eagerly anticipating seeing how you do.... love to you and your family

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

🤯 Wow Julian, that's a comment and a half. Thank youm

[@julianclay4611]

I meant every word. You have been a big part of my life in various forms throughout your career via my tv. Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@TheEmgeegeegee]

Amazing, enlightening and amusing interview - loved seeing these two adversaries talking freely,honestly and easily about their history and their motor sport. Well done !!!

[@1969triumph]

I didn't think I could like them more, but listening to their stories ..... They are both real dudes !!! Thank you so very much . It was like eavesdropping on after dinner chat .

[@demonic082]

This has been brilliant could have watched this all day. Great to bring the episodes out so close together

[@urdad1984]

When JP was talking about Neal in the Integra, that had me in stitches! Def one of the best interview series Ive seen on YT. Keep it up! Its got me going back n watching 98 BTCC on here

[@davemck1887]

Maximum respect to two guys (and you mate) who worked their way up and paid their dues. Great viewing , loved it ! 👌

[@Samael78]

These four interviews have been amazing. A few directional questions but also letting them chat about whatever they want to works really well.

[@richardmatthews6325]

Jonny these chats have been amazing, gives you the really Plato and Neal, the honesty and respect they genuinely have for each other Happy Christmas and a New Year Jonny

[@geetee7154]

Jonny, this is 'The' best video on youtube right now, Mr Plato is an absolute Legend, brilliant

[@jondrizzle4554]

Thanks for this Jonny..... these pair are legends!!! and this was a million times better than the garbage on the TV over Xmas and New year. Cheers

[@mwiltshire6431]

That was awesome, Jonny is the best interviewer ever. Nonchalantly gets the very best out of guests.

[@davidharman2705]

The best interview I've seen in ages. I had tears of joy and laughter listening to the stories of old. Absolutely brilliant content Jonny, well done. I think you could do a Touring Cars mini series with some of the other greats...Tim Harvey, Gordon Shedden, John Cleland, Will Hoy, Mike & Andrew Jordan..there are loads

[@andybailey9347]

Shame we lost Will Hoy far too young :-(

[@kikii1]

That was more interesting and enjoyable than any car review or any other interview I've ever seen. Well done. I could listen to their stories all day.

[@Theoriginalramjammer]

Witnessed these two swapping paint at Donington over the years. Great to see that friendship prevails. A great interview 👍

[@stuartpritchard7999]

Great 2 parter, this channel is great and deserves to go “BIG”

[@riccardostermin7279]

Jason Plato only person to get back sores sitting on a chair.Fantastic interview with two legends of the sport.Kudos to the great interview and well thought out questions.

[@Shane_Marsh]

What an Epic channel jonny, this is why KZbin is still going. You are very clever the way you do things in such a professional manner but make it look so casual. All done with the usual fantastic content and legendary guests. You are definitely one of life's winners jonny.

[@The63Jazz]

Please please get them back for some more. Absolutely bloody loved it.

[@AndrewJB]

Really enjoyed that! taken me nearly 2 years to watch it, I was part of "platos barmy army" for many years, sad to see him go now. I'd like to see an interview with him on the TDI engines.

[@thetyrerjones]

Thanks for making such an awesome film Jonny, this is an interview I’ve wished to see for over 20 years 🍺🍺🍺

[@ch3no2uk99]

Absolutely loved watching this and part 1 👏🏻 well done Jonny Smith for putting this together 👍🏻 Merry Christmas to all

Only a clap hands imoji is suitable for this series of videos 👏👏👏 good men. Good racing. Good views. Great times! Loved all four videos 😁

Fantastic interview! Really interesting to watch the two most competitive racers ever! Loved watching them and good to see later in life have the respect! Thanks Jonny! 👍👍👌👌

[@Harbinger-1996]

The best two videos on KZbin, amazing work from all.. thank you as a massive BTCC fan❤️

[@Dingolfing]

Jonny, well done. I didn't really feel you on 5th gear but these new projects are great. You are an amazing interviewer and seeing the body language here with Matt and Jason and how it changes shows how good you are. Well done again and thank you.

[@raygovier8442]

Both absolute legends of BTCC, and beyond. What a brilliant interview Jonny, let them talk and didn’t interrupt, and what stories.. top drawer

Just brilliant, this series of 4 videos has set your bar pretty high Jonny, looking forward to the next outing for the brown chairs.

[@michaelconnolly1797]

Both episodes with these two chaps, have made excellent viewing. Well done Jonny. 👌🏻

[@markherd3116]

Absolutely brilliant. I was doing a track day at Knockhill and the instructor asked about race experience, I replied well, a bit of karting, I've played a lot of Gran Turismo (which he surprisingly was impressed with and said it would help), and I've watch a few touring car races live at track. His response was brilliant (and the only time he swore all day, no matter how bad i drove the Ferrari 360 that day) "You don't want to take any lessons from them fucking hooligans!" :)

[@chrissyb85]

Thank you Jonny for the interview I’ve been waiting for!!! Absolute racing legends, could’ve watched for hours. Brilliant!

[@angusaylward7405]

These shows are fascinating insights into interesting people around the motoring world, great questions too. For me the best motoring journalism happening now, keep it up please!

[@TheSheriff187]

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for some of the Best out there on any platform. Cheers

[@philstubbs8749]

Two legends of BTCC, fantastic location at Williams museum of racing, great chat and stories about the rivalry and years of racing.... Did they realise they were sitting on two F1(?) rims becasuse you'd forgotten the seat bases? @16:13 Great interview Jonny, well done, loving the refreshed channel and think its's going to be a huge success, keep it up.

[@nickjennings8317]

Genuinely informative and funny. A tip for Jason, always keep a 12 inch ruler near the loo. 👍

[@MrWibbleman]

Jonny well done. Best thing on KZbin this year. Thanks of course to neal and up. Excellent

[@GenX-jedi]

if this doesn't get a million views, something wrong with youtube algorithm as this need to be viewed by anyone that watched touring cars from 92 to now.

[@exige320s5]

Absolutely one of the best KZbin podcasts ever! Brilliant Jonny keep up this Amazing work and old stories from these legends...a gabrieli tarquini one would be awesome alongside Tim Harvey

[@markhunter444]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of interviews with Jason and Matt, both legends and really nice genuine people. Keep up the great work Jonny your interview style has obviously allowed these two legends show us just who they really are.

[@mrbbs]

Amazing fan of both of these men! Thanks for bringing them together JM.
