Steve Rider speaks with Jason Plato | BTCC 2021

[@pauldowner1]

He made my Mum laugh & smile when she met him on her birthday. For that he is top chap in my book Thanks Plato!

[@darknewt9959]

I'd love to see him get the 100.

[@neilt7145]

I was at Knockhill and left just before the 3rd race so didn't see it but regret it a bit now. Go every year and have never seen a crowd as big but was great to be in amongst everyone again, especially without masks.

[@minibus9]

great interview

[@RAT.MAN.]

Funny Guy & deserves the century

[@Wishful-Thinking]

Yep he’s a good guy is Jason. Great racer who is wasted in that Astra.

[@aceward5694]

You're right, the Astra has never been competitive. Put Jason in a Focus or a Honda & things would've been different. Still a class driver though.

[@andrewpredeth7368]

That astra is awful. But he did a season away and I think that was his only drive

[@aceward5694]

@@andrewpredeth7368 if Jason couldn't get the Astra to work nobody can. Given his history with SEAT, the Leon would've been a perfect development car for him. Its wasted on Hamilton & Taylor Smith.

[@alistairthompson2750]

Thing is Sutton destroyed him in his last season in the Subaru levorg and then he had a year out which is never good at any age shedden has found it difficult coming back even in a Honda he's still a legend though

[@andrewpredeth7368]

@@alistairthompson2750 what happend with that plato took 5 years developing it and only raced it for 1 season

[@andrewpredeth7368]

I didn't like plato as a person until I saw btcc legends and he admits to playing the villain. He is a rough driver but end of day we need the bumper users to make it exiting

[@runawayplane6166]

It’s amazing that his tiny little Vauxhall can be so complicated to set up. How on earth can you work on the aerodynamics with a little shell of a road car?

[@christianheeley6188]

Been of Jason from the Renault days great driver and great to listen to in general makes me laugh how he comes across don't mince his word's give Jason a better car and he soon be back on the podium

[@tonyjonesbassoonwhippet2271]

What a top bloke 👍legend

[@johndavies7188]

Top bloke

[@mandude83]

Both cars had better pace today, but it doesn't seem to be consistent.

[@kylewaddington1983]

Will he get 100 race wins in British Trouing cars Champship and do TV commentator for British Trouing cars Champship wen he hung helmet up Jason Plato at end of year ?

[@andymountain130]

Bad timing just as race 3 stared !!!
