How to Build Fast Cars And P*ss People Off! (Watch out, Jason Plato is about). In this episode we go behind the scenes with Touring Car Champion Legend Jason Plato as he sets up his own BTCC race team and embarks on trying to disrupt the 2026 season. How will JP feel about managing drivers, rather than being in the driver’s seat? At RML we see how the Mercedes AMG cars are prepped, tested and talk openly about Jason’s retirement, mental health struggles and how going back to racing might have saved his life.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
