WATCH BTCC JASON PLATO SAVE HIS SKIN

The Chevrolet Lacetti, a car we know in Canada as the Chevrolet Optra and Americans once saw as the Suzuki Forenza, is raced in the British Touring Car Championship. Weird, I know. However, famed BTCC driver Jason Plato makes it look not weird at all. In the video below, Plato’s rear bumper is knocked off as he’s nudged by a BMW. After a long and likely arduous drift, Plato manages to bring the Lacetti back into the picture as though nothing was the matter. Check it.
