Just been watching BTCC quali' live on itv.com and Plato totally out of order in qualifying - should be thrown out or put to rear of grid in race one.

Saw him brake testing Matt Neal on his last/fast lap of qualifying, then on Platos final lap he gave up when the sector 2 time was poor, should have gone into the pits but decided to hold up the three cars behind him just past the pit lane entry / entry to the final corner really slowly held up 3 people on their fastest lap.

Matt Neal then threatened to thump him in the pits, Plato wisely keeping his helmet on though.

If I did that in my series I'd be thrown out, what will they do to Plato?

This idiot thinks he's above everyone. He's turned this series in to a joke.

Will they do anything ..... I very much doubt it. No one seem to have the balls to stand to him.

He thinks he is the BTCC ... And so do the management

Pretty sad state of affairs when Plato is the only 'star' in BTCC

I lost all respect for Plato many years ago when he was in the Seat and Tom Chilton was in a Honda,he deliberately spun Tom on the national straight near the front of the pack.One of the most dangerous unnessecery manouveres I have ever seen.Total knob end at times.You cant argue that the the guy gets results when he needs them,his triple win at Brands a couple of years ago was brilliant but he just looks a cock time after time.

It's my new approach. I wander in to a thread, ruffle some feathers, then bugger off and watch the fur fly from a safe distance hehe

Look on the bright side, you're probably in the company of err 2/3 of Pistonheads members with that approach. hehe
