Plato burst onto the BTCC scene with Renault in 1997
We are hosting the event in partnership with Renault, with whom Jason burst onto the touring car scene as a works driver in 1997. In many ways he owes his professional career to Renault, for without the Renault Sport Spider series, which he dominated in 1996, he never would have landed a factory drive with Renault in the BTCC for 1997.
He raced for Renault for three seasons, before racing for a further 20 for numerous other manufacturers and privateer teams. During that long career, Jason won a record 97 BTCC races.
