Nice link! El drifto special!
The car snapped back with no fishtailing. Did he just stay the gas and floor it the whole time? I wish there was some in car footage.

The sequential helped! Last year Pierre Kleinubing also did a great save. He said, it will be impossible to do so without the sequential.

How does the sequential play into that?

I would speculate that it is easier to control the rpm where you want it. If you can shift the trans quick and maintain the rpm.

Plato learned that from Muller

Or maybe from Neal

Unfortunate the Seat Diesels were affected by the economy and had to pull out but this season is looking promising. There's going to be some good action across the board with the private teams and the works teams.

I'm a big fan of Jason Plato, but i've gotta say muller and Neal had some amazing saves! All three are pretty impressive.

Plato does always manage to get himself involved in the drama! I love it!

Yeah man! Plato's been around the BTCC since the 90's so he knows whatssup. The battles in the 90's make todays BTCC look like high performance lap days.

dude, WTF?

That just seems sloppy and unprofessional. It's interesting to watch from a blood thirsty American point of view, but not what I want to see in a race.

When I forget how a fwd should be driven, I watch one of Jeremy Croiset's video.

I remember watching the Mosport race. There was an epic battle leading up to that pushing and shoving. The in car is crazy.

"What comes around, goes around."

Some of that contact may have been retaliation for some of Plato's trangressions.
