Does Scott actually owe Plato money? Or was it just Plato letting off some anger

Wasn’t there a rumour last year Plato had stumped up money for engines when Mountune stopped supplying BMR.

JP was involved in facilitating the switch in engine supplier. I suspect this involved financial guarantees but don't know.

Didn't Mountune stop supplying when they stopped getting paid? Rather than BMR choosing to switch supplier?

Sam Tordoff won't be racing this weekend following the terrible news that his baby boy has passed away.

That’s immensely sad for him and his wife. Hopefully they’ve got the support around to help them through this.

Awful news. Puts everything into perspective when you hear something like that. I really feel for him.

Poor Sam Tordoff and his wife, as if motor racing hasn't had enough bad news in the past week and a bit.

Absolutely awful news. Sam has a close family so won't be short of support, but I can't imagine how devastated he and his good wife must be feeling.
All the best. |

The performance increased when JP paid another man to supply an engine to put in the engine sized hole. |

I think BMR are doing alright with the drivers they have now, especially Ash.

Assuming Ash does leave at the end of the year, who are they going to replace him with who can drag the Levorg to where he can? Plato and Proctor are no slouches but they didn't/aren't getting anywhere near Sutton's results

Wouldnt bet on them (BMR/Subaru) being there if Ash jumped ship

Good on Rokit. Rather **** of Duo to drop someone in it at short notice.
