Jason Plato apathetic about latest boost reduction for Subaru

By

After topping the first free practice session at Silverstone, Subaru Team BMR driver Jason Plato pointed out the latest boost reduction for the team ahead of the weekend, and expects to struggle in the races.

The two-time champion was a quarter of a second up on team-mate Ash Sutton at the end of the 40-minute practice session, with his team-mate carrying 75k of success ballast as the championship leader.

“We’ve had our engines turned down yet again, so we’re going to struggle on the straights,” said Plato to the circuit radio after practice.

“We’re losing four car lengths on the back straight. There’s no point in grumbling about it, I just don’t understand what the rules are anymore, but we’re having fun.”
