  • Mg Kx Momentum Racing Reigning Them In, in the Sun
    MG KX MOMENTUM RACING REIGNING THEM IN, IN THE SUN Media Information: 12th August 2012 The sun shone down on Snetterton and the MG KX Momentum Racing Team for rounds 16, 17 and 18 of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, as the second half of the BTCC season got underway in Norfolk. Jason Plato started the second half of the campaign as he means to go on, as he cut the lead in the Driver’s championship down from 29 to 18 points. Having missed out on Pole Position by a mere .015 of a second on Saturday, Jason Plato lined up on the front-row of the grid for Race One of the day alongside the Toyota of Frank Wrathall. Jason made a fantastic get-away to lead comfortably into the first corner. Jason then monitored his pace and after a brief battle with the Vauxhall of Newsham, cruised home for his third win of the 2012 season. Andy spent his race trying to recover some places after his poor qualifying position from yesterday, but after becoming involved in some of the midfield battles, he failed to make the gains he was looking for. Jason started Race Two from Pole Position, thanks to his Race One victory. However his MG6 was now laden with the maximum 45kgs of success ballast; the only downside to collecting the winner’s trophy from Race One! Despite the extra weight, he drove cleanly away from the line to lead the early part of the race comfortably. As the race continued three Hondas closed him down and on the penultimate lap there was contact between Jason and his old foe Matt Neal.

  • But Plato Wasn't the Only Chevrolet Driver on The
    For immediate rel ease – 7TH AUGUST 2011 CRUCIAL POINTS HAUL BOOSTS SILVERLINE CHEVROLET’S TITLE FIGHT - Fabulous 1-2, two podiums, fastest lap and pole position add to tally - Plato ‘right back in contention’ to retain title The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship looks set for a thrilling second half of the season, after a huge points haul at Snetterton put the Silverline Chevrolet team, and 2010 BTCC Champion Jason Plato, right back in the mix after a challenging start to the season. It was a weekend of high drama that began with an eventful qualifying session. Plato set the fastest time with minutes to go, but the main story of the afternoon was a flash fire that engulfed the front of Alex MacDowall’s car after a small fuel leak. The fire was immediately doused by the RML team, yet despite missing much of the qualifying session he’d still scored a sufficiently good time to start Race One from third position. The strong qualifying positions were critical going into the day’s first race, with Plato’s Chevrolet Cruze surviving an early tangle with Matt Neal’s Honda to reveal a clear track. With Neal out of contention, MacDowall did a superb job defending second position from Honda’s Gordon Shedden, meaning Plato was left clear to take his fifth victory of the season, as well as setting the lap record for the new Snetterton 300 circuit with the fastest lap of the day. Going into Race Two, the two Cruzes were at the front of the grid, but both were pushed wide after contact in the first bend, allowing Gordon Shedden’s Honda to push its way through.
