He was not a happy bunny last season in the MG6 - good that he is in a Focus and that Pirtek have stuck with him.
Mat Jackson is gonna fly in his Focus. 2nd half of last season he was awesome.
I like the Subaru Levorg - different.
C'mon lottery........

Aaron Smith is a cock and clearly is not a team player and that cost Plato the championship by 4 points.

Did he make the race? Assumed he didn't qualify fast enough, or had a mechanical fault.

They are complete and utter Plato fans and he snubbed them. He can be a funny fucker - I've had him not know what to say at autograph signing lol.

total opposite to what jordan did, as many ford enthusiasts went over to see him and wish him well in the focus and he took photos and shook hands over the weekend

Didnt get to see any of the touring races today, but did watch the ginettas, formula fords and the clio cup races. loads of crashes in all of them, the Clios didnt even make one lap before it was red flagged as someone stuck their car on the roof.

Looks an expensive form of motorsport lol
