    Plato to return with Volvo

    According to to touring car times JP might be on his way back to the BTCC with Volvo!!

    Loved the look of the C30 when I saw it at Brands. Fingers crossed!!
    Look out I have been to the Jason Plato school of driving. I take no prisoners!!

    If it happens it would be great although I don't like coupes racing in touring cars and would prefer if it was the small Volvo saloon...however, I also appreciate that the BTCC is a marketing exercise and they want to sell the C30 in bigger numbers.

    Wonder if it will be bio-fuel too?

    I just can't trust that site. Ever since I read on there that SEAT were sacking Turner only for SEAT to announce he was staying with them two days later.

    Don't Volvo have one of their saloons running in Touring Cars in Sweden just now? Seen a pic of it when it ran in the WTCC in the UK race.

    A great sight - especially when Lammers mixed it with the front-runners on the Brands GP circuit.

    Anyway, back to topic - shouldn't the word RUMOUR be inserted into the thread title?

    it does say that it could happen without the backing of Volvo as Plato can pull in a big sponsor.

    I remember John Cleland saying he wanted to enter a C30 with the support of UK Volvo Dealers, a bit like BMW Team Dealer UK.
    Would prefer the S40 though.
