  • Plato isn't too bad off minus the unnecessary crap he does. He drives superbly without it. If he'd stop and think about it and change, he may be my favorite over Neal. He has very good but wasted potential, he'd be everyone's tip as the best without crashing everyone everyday. Hidden talent for sure. Thumbs Up?

  • One thing is for sure; in most touring car championships you need to have your big-boy pants on. You can't be a pussy.

  • hmmm... the second move was completely plato's fault. Neal was a few inches ahead, and plato cut him off, plain and simple. I love plato and all, but boy he can be a real cunt

  • how can people say plato holds his line? he is fucking steering into him

  • faggots in seats...

  • plato is an asshole.

  • Jason plato is a fucking cheater he did a few dirty tricks on matt neal he should be banned

  • Apart from who was at fault, wasn't there a yellow into the final chicane? The marshall on the exit shows green and there's a stranded Vauxhall.

    Good battle, nothing wrong with it. Two dirty drivers at their best, I enjoyed it

  • NASCAR and BTCC are better than F1.

  • This is how badly the BTCC has fallen since the glory years of the late 90s huh? All the actually talented drivers gone, and the ones left feel the need to drive like little kids playing videogames. There's a massive difference between hard, close racing, and just barging people off and cheap-shotting. Sadly that's what the BTCC has been reduced to, although the 2011 season showed small signs of recovery.

  • plato is the fucking legend of btcc other than john cleland !

  • And thats why F1's One Move rule is such a blessing.

  • Wow fucken cheater

  • Rubbing is racing eh Jason? I take it you think spinning people off is racing too. Try saying this when you're on the recieving end of desperation like this!

  • jason plato is a cock nose he always makes dirty moves like that,he sure needs a taste of his own medicine

  • Both crashes were just racing incidents. 1st one; Plato was simply maintaining his line (he made no turns), as he is entitled to do, neal was trying to get back on the track and turned across the front of him. It was hard racing but it was fair. 2nd one; neal went up the inside and made slight contact with Plato. Plato was running out of time and had to turn into the corner, unfortunately neals car was in the way and already slightly out of control. Nobody to blame, just 2 guys racing very hard.

  • Plato is a cheat, always has been and always will be. His dream is to screw up Le Mans, and he has screwed up BTCC on his journey.

  • F1... go screw yourself!

  • how i wish to see the guy in front crash. stupid dirty asshole

  • Plato left room on the outside on way to bombhole yet he moved over and decided to put Neal on the grass and then continue to try spinning him, then Matt had the line into the final turn but Plato was way too aggresive and slammed straight into him, how Plato got away with it i dont know.

  • Why did Halfords race Integras, they aren't even sold in Britain

  • @MegaMrDamo because Integras clearly rule. 2 titles in a row awesome touring car

  • @MegaMrDamo becouse they r good :)) bonehead

  • It's one of the things that make BTCC great, that drivers don't get punished for every little contact.

    But for this foul, Plato should clearly have been disqualified in my opinion.

  • I LOVE Ben Edwards' commentary!

  • no way. go plato.

  • @alucardv2

    That was the best moment of the BTCC at Oulton, he's such an idiot

  • Nobody cheats or whinges more than Jason (i'm not happy) Plato!!!

  • thats ironic, just seen Mat Neal take his teammate out?

  • @alucardv2 yeahh on the oulton park circuit?

  • @Ovlanx Yup. What an absolute cock. He is such an arsehole

  • @alucardv2 haha agreed.. absolutely no need for that sort of greed.

  • IF i was neal, i would just ram plato of the read. Ever heard of clean racing? :)

  • Rubbing is racing my arse! Plato should do banger racing not touring cars. I've seen cleaning racing with dodgem cars at the fairground! Got his comeuppence at Craner curves the other week though wink wink

  • Plato did drive a bit dirty...

    But he's still my favourite BTCC driver ;) That's how good he is!

  • God I love Jason Plato. I don't care how dirty he races. It's the BTCC. If you want none contact racing, go watch something else.

  • How is this guy still aloud to race?!?!

  • should not of won

  • How the hell does plato keep saving him self, how can you not respect this guy .:)

  • The first overtake by Neal is clean, Plato just does an average sore-loser move on him, and Neal catches it. Neal is then a lot faster to make up a distance in a really short amount of time. The next move, Matt expects Jason to move over, but Jason swerves into him just as Matt swerves in to take the corner. Then Plato cuts in and still wins.

    It is quite funny because he thinks this is alright but when you look back to Oulton Park 1999, Thompson does something similar and Plato starts swearing!

  • lmao u can defend ur position but that aint racing thats bumper cars...

  • this video should be called matt neal takes out himself. He went for a gap that wasn't there!!

  • i dont follow this series and dont know who these drivers are but by this footage Jason Plato is the worst driver i have ever seen. that was disgusting driving.

  • @driftkarter59 Yeah he only won it last season.....he's shocking........IDIOT!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @Davetheravepow I dont give a fuck how well hes done in the past it dosnt give him the right to drive like that! try watching some real drivers from NZ! like Scott Dixon-Indy, Greg Murphy-V8s, Mad Mike-D1 after watching them you will realize your the retard mate!!!

  • @driftkarter59 If you say so mate, all i know is that i go to 3 or 4 BTCC meetings a season and Plato provides a lot of entertainment and makes it worth buying the ticket.......

  • its British, they are crasher, not driver.............

  • Rally is king.

  • @taylor6string Yeah, it's the best and IMO the hardest, really, but touring cars is the most action-packed. F1 has a great history and glamour, but with all these kids lost a bit of its aura, at least for me.

  • the only way to beat a Honda, is by taking it out of the race...

    Honda pwnd again

  • thats what fifth gear gets

  • come on you can't talk crap about btcc. being boring or about money or dirty. id much rather watch this than my countries NASCAR! haha im more rally anyway

  • @crosshairs3 Well of course it's better than NASCAR :-) Rally, now that's a whole 'nother level of awesome!

  • @BrakeCheck dont have 2 tell me i could of told u that

  • @BrakeCheck yeah rally is the best but its still gone down hill since Group B was banned, i think they should reintroduce it now

  • @BrakeCheck Yes because racing against the clock is much more interesting then racing against 22 other human beings in cars.

  • @crosshairs3 yea same here but we cant watch rally in uk anymore unless we have 2 pay ontop of tv licence which mean u have 2 pay nearly £300 just to watch it which i wont be doing

  • Matt Neal is by far the dirtiest driver in the BTCC, his career is littered with incidents of him just running into people if he can't get his own way.

    Plato is no angel, but in this clip Plato did nothing wrong, just held his line. It's always the person behind who must make sure the move is clean.

  • @mattthompson79 The person behind will never be able to make a pass if the guy in front swerves all over the track. Watch the video again and notice that every time that Matt takes a line Plato adjusts his accordingly.

  • @BrakeCheck but plato is only defending in the braking zones......whereas if you see some neal clips, he's swerved across the straights before to cover inside lines....plato always seems to drive on the correct line for the majority of the time

  • @BrakeCheck That's called defending!

  • @mattthompson79 Neal is no angel, I agree with you there.

  • HAHA NEAL.......

  • @mattthompson79 are you joking if you compare plato to neal its obvious that neal can win without cheating and plato cant.

  • Cheap shots, no doubt about it.

  • Matt Neal has done that kind of thing (and worse) himself in the past - he's famous for it. He got taken down by the more skilled driver that day.

  • Want it clean? Watch F1!

  • that was fucked up

  • Whatever opinion you may have about who was at fault, you've got to admit, that save by Neal was nothing short of amazing. Gets the car almost 90 degrees sideways, saves it, and comes out right on Plato's tail. Astonishing. I wish we could see more racing like this over here in the States.

  • Why the hell should have Plato have to move off his line for the corner. Any driver can use the car in front as a buffer for any corner, but that doesn't make it right. Plato did shift out of the way a little (at 1.14). That's more than I'da done. Nice guys finish last in this game.

  • @moyadapne Plato (or anyone else) doesn't have to move off his line, but when drivers don't hold their line and swerve across the track blocking anyone behind them, then you eliminate the most exciting aspect of racing - drivers racing side-by-side. Instead of overtaking maneuvers, you get follow-the-leader pack racing interrupted by occasional wrecks. That's a major reason why so many series suck these days.

  • @BrakeCheck Fair enough....valid point. The guy who loses in a tussle like that will always be the 'victim'.

    I like Plato's forcefulness. so I may be biased, but I didn't see him doing much swerving to block here. Seen far worse at F1. Now THAT'S boring 2 me.

    If Neal had squeezed past, it was prob gonna end in tears anyway, as there was a right then left very soon after. These guys aren't racing to keep you and me happy. Just the sponsors. BTC has been the best to watch innit.

  • @moyadapne I disagree about Plato's swerving, in the first contretemps I think he protects the inside line then swerves back to the outside 'normal' racing line when he realizes that Neal wasn't going for the switchback. The 2nd incident - which I agree was going to end in tears no matter what - it's not so obvious. But watch the grass to driver's right, Neal keeps going to the inside and Plato is following, cutting off his line as they get closer to the corner.

  • i dont reali follow Touring car but from what i could see the geezer behind, was at the end of the day the geezer behind. if you are sticking it up the inside ov someone expect to have your nose cut up if you didnt make it past 100% and i didnt see a clean overtake that took neal geez past plato man. Plato still had the line. so once again at the end of the Day the man who won.... WON

  • come on .... clearly plato was way way way too aggressive. those moves were nice, the guy behind was clearly faster.

  • @Spo0Bo Plato held his line. Neal was the one driving like an a-hole here. Besides, it's the last lap. Anything goes there.

  • @Spo0Bo so Plato isn't aloud to defend his position then even if he is quite a bit slower? Who do you think you are..............Jean Todt?

  • @F1guitarfanatic927

    dumb idiot.

  • @thepainbob666 you do know this was for the lead on the last lap right? What would Paul di Resta do if he was in the lead on the last lap of the British GP with Vettel close behind him. Would he have to give Vettel the position? obviously not

  • @F1guitarfanatic927 he wouldnt block and take him out. its sportsmanship to get a bit of space and not ruin your opponents race.

  • @F1guitarfanatic927 he would adhere to the rules and only make one defensive manouvere

  • Plato is a fucking cheater.

  • what a fucking monstarr save by Matt Neal, He is the man of all car racing series in the world.

  • I like jason's driving still because of the show althought he is very agresive and It's not fair with the other drivers

  • you can always count on these two to put on a good show. class

  • it was not jasons fault as they were both racing their lines. their lines just came into contact, it was unavoidable if they both made contact jason did try to get off of matt and what happened, happened

  • It's like watching wrestling, only with cars ;)

  • this guy punts people off all the time he just got what he deserves

  • Plato: "...great win...". GREAT WIN!? THAT WAS DIRTY AND CHEAP SIR.

  • @MattLoaf92

    Both attempts at passing by Neal were risky, and would've came at the cost of cutting off Plato. Why the hell should Jason Plato allow that to happen?

  • neal got what he deserved, is plato the only man who will stand upto him, go jason 2010 champ

  • fuck him up platoooo!

  • if matt neal was driving civic type R he would have beaten plato easily

    integra is a piece of shit

  • typical plato, look what he did to Steven Kane earlier in the year

  • @JDKempt0n But look at what Matt Neal did to Collard in Thruxton and to Plato in silverstone

  • I am a fan of Plato over Neal in the btcc but really what was Jason thinking there?

  • dirt move!

  • fantastic drive there by Plato!

  • To me this whole clip was more exciting than a whole series of f1 :D but f1 is epic tbh

  • Getupstairstobed surely Get up stairs to bed.

    Hahahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

    Hahahahhaahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

    Despite the typo you still understood the comment despite your need to correct

    Hahahahhahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! Der

  • haha well done Plato. Matt Neal is a dick

  • That was a hell of a save.

  • Right, this is touring cars so contact like that from a fans point of view is good racing and Plato wanted to win the race so did Neal so why should either one of them give way or move over?

  • fackn vw driver

  • plato done it this weekend at snetterton

  • People are being overly critical of Matt Neal for being agressive when Plato was abviously a lot slower, making his car as wide as posible and closing the gap just as agressively.

    "If you don't go for the gap then you're not racing" Ayrton Senna.

    Over there years Neal v's Plato has been as entertaining as anything Senna v's Mansell had ever done before.

    When "Health and Safety" take over and motorsport will be illegal I for one will miss it.

  • That is pretty aggressive defending by Plato, normally when a car tries to overtake you give them just room enough to get past you and then you try to out break or out handle the other in the next corner. But i must say that trying to overtake there were a quite risky.

  • platos exuse will be that he was keeping to his racing line !!! if you look he stays straight and the track turns = plato gets away with it = thts racing

  • really honda needme

  • seat driver = asshole. very unfair driving... you see him trying to spin off the orange guy on purpose.... ppl like him shouldnt be racing in a league like this. go play mario kart

  • Both Matt Neal and Plato have always played dirty.

  • Neal was getting aggressive while Plato kept going. Plato wasnt about to let Neal force his way by. Neal made a stupid choice to pass on the inside when there wasn't room expecting Plato to move over... then he bullshits saying Plato wasn't driving cleanly... HA! Neal, if you can get in on the inside with enough room, and Plato pushed you off.. then it was dirty. Instead look how Neal turned his wheel to force Plato over. Neal made contact and Plato held his ground. Good show Plato!

  • Got what he deserved. Matt neal is always doing stuf like this

  • Plato blocked pretty simple, could have just backed off and got 2nd but instead he got nothing lol

  • Is that Vicky Butler Henderson doing the interview?

  • @sowhatalot yea it is

  • This is what makes BTCC better then F1 proper racing.

    BTCC and Moto GP more exciting then F1.

  • The DC5 was so much faster

  • fucking jerk plato.

  • wtf, if i were the orange cardriver, i had kicked him out! in last chicane,!, tz^^

  • fuck you plato u re a twice loser , if he was passing you ,you should let him not skid him you asswhole dick face

  • @blindun Fuck you more like

  • Not a fan of Matt Neal at all....hypocrisy!

  • look at the way she grips that microphone

    phhwooarrrr that brings back memorys :O)

  • Neal had nowhere else to go intially. Much better drive than Plato so had to take the outside, but it was stupid of him to try and turn in on Jason heading down to the Bombhole. He was only ever going to end up spinning sideways. Again, i don't think the move at the last corner was out of order, but he placed himself completely at the mercy of Plato. It was a risk and he took it. The only person he can be upset is with is himself. Racing incidents. No real 'dirty driving' here.

  • Plato is legend

  • the only reason why f1 is so popular is because its expensive.

  • There are really touchy both because both is really cheap to repair :D If U crash a formula just really little It will be 15000 dolars...

  • there's more contact in BTCC than NASCAR...really...I watch both series...BTCC is basically a ramfest

  • and that's what makes it a fantastic racing series!!!

  • @Jawz2308 cheating doesn't make good racing

  • look this is the btcc with out people like nael plato and others it would be dull as a spectator you wanna see good hard racing thats why we watch it if you wanna c clean tidy boring raceing watch f1

  • @500bhpcossie

    clean tidy boring racing watch f1??

    hello but f1 has the worlds best drivers, its way more exciting, it has better media coverage, btcc is good and i watch it whenevr its on on itv4, the cars are slow thats why i sometimes decide to watch f1,

  • ohh please how have you come to the reason that f1 drivers r the best in the world do you know anything about motorsport and the type of money it takes to get to f1 millions dose not mata how talented you r u need millions theres much more talent messing about in lower coverage foumulas and its also got fuck all 2 do with how fast thay go its to do with the quitly of the racing f1 from 2000- 08 was shit follow the man in front and swap postions in the pits now its getting much much beta

  • now am not taking nothing away from alonso hamilton schumacher 3 amazing talents and a few others 2 but the rest do me a favor avarage at best

  • @500bhpcossie

    also i watch f1 because of many reasons

    1) Loads of overtaking ( believe it or not , if you say theres not enough overtaking u probably dont follow f1 enough )

    2) Because of the risks the driver takes , putting their life at risk

    3) Fantastic media coverage

    4) Drivers experience high G-Forces

  • @beyblader10171

    loooooooool boring F1!!

  • @basicgroove

    lol how can f1 be boring if you have only ever watched a race , probably ( in your case)

  • @beyblader10171

    i watch f1 since 1991. after 2000 i lost my interest in this stupid money series. the cars looks crap. the drivers are crap. the tracks are crap. its only money money money. so many other series give more action.

    update your brain and you will see.... ;)

  • @basicgroove

    drivers are crap?

    your telling me the likes of, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Jensen Button, Robert Kubica, Sebastian Vettel, Nico Rosberg are crap??

    they would own these shit touring car drivers any day of the week, and Sebastian Loeb ( the world rally champion ) would make these guys look stupid,

    lol btcc tracks are better than f1 tracks. what drugs are you on?

  • @basicgroove No asshole, you are crap cos you know nothing about motorsport idiot

  • @chazgazzer i dont think sooo.... =)

  • @basicgroove Er yes you are loser

  • @basicgroove The drivers are crap???? What planet are you on???? They are some of the best drivers in the world if not the best. Yeah it's lost a bit of magic but come on man!! I do agree othe series provide more action and i'm a big fan of all levels of motorsport but F1 is still the at the top with the best drivers!!!!!!!

  • @beyblader10171 THE CARS ARE SLOW OMFG! yes i prefer f1s, but a time attack rcm impreza has 850 bhp and laps oulton park island in 1.27 ish. the tourings cars are as good as the same with 270 bhp the cars are slow! What a nob!

  • @smokinallthebud69

    LOL :D

  • @smokinallthebud69 bull shit

  • @mrt799 Fuck off Your only jealous

  • matt neal is no better, unfortunately, not the best of pals these two

  • oh that cute girl's vicky?

  • That was 5 years ago i think ... Just amazing show :D

  • wow...not once, but twice!? and officials did nothing?!

  • this is common in touring car racing. not saying contact is a good thing in this kind of racing id rather not see intentional contact but its part of WTCC

  • "Yeah the car was heavy and we were running out of grip so... [I decided to just run him off the road. Twice. Several Youtube viewers, the authority on the subject, if you must know, agree with me... that's perfectly acceptable behavior.]"

    I guess if the marshals aren't going to penalize him for it, he may as well keep doing it. Though in my mind that should clear everyone to take out anyone, whenever they want.

  • Makes me laugh how Mr Plato seems to have a clean conscience when he pushes people about but gets wound up when he's on the receiving end. I'm not Matt Neil's biggest fan by any means but it seemed unfair on him but not as bad as when Rob Collard took him out at Paddock.

  • Standard issue Plato!

  • i was there, plato is an uter twat

  • Big fan of Plato but he's been a bit dirty there!

  • The first move is sort of forgiveable, but the second one was a deliberate attempt to take Neal out of the race. He turned in on Neal waaaay before the corner trying to spin him, and then took to the grass to take a shortcut...unbelieveable.

  • Matt is one pissed of guy there, he got the vain on the forehead & everything!

  • Both collisons were Potato's fault in my opinion. Not blatently maybe, but I think he squeezed too much on both occasions.

  • This is touring car, not Formula racing...

  • How anyone can call Plato the "Dirtiest racer in BTCC" while Neal is still driving in it, mate neal is the only person in the world who would overtake someone while being lapped and fuck up there race, neal deserved it and i hope to see more

  • ROFL hell yeah. And that is how touring car drivers do it any way lol.

  • Plato is a huge cunt always whining

    Neal FTW

    plato should go fucking die

    Neal makes the right moves in this video plato just can't handle that he would lose it

  • Neal is an idiot.

    Neal over drives his car.

    Neal got owned.

  • Matt Neal is the tallest man ive ever seen.

  • Honda the best....

  • i cant understand people who hate plato mat neal is always diving up the inside or stupid moves he makes. cant people see that neal is a bully even more so that he has a big vectra now one name stands to mind for neal snake

  • yeh but Neal dosent take people out, plato does
