As it currently stands, he can blame a bent chassis for his lack of results. If he goes quicker in another car then fine - he is proven right and pressure is on the team. If he is unable to go any quicker though it makes him the automatic No2 behind Sutton. For BMR on the other hand, as it stands they have a car and driver combination challenging for the title. The result of Plato testing another car will either put pressure on them to fund a new car or admit that their highest profile driver is no longer competitive. They will lose reputation as a team either way. So as long as Sutton is competitive BMR gain nothing in a car swap. And as long as there are public doubts about the chassis, Plato has an excuse to preserve his reputation. |

However, I would think that if Plato's car is bent and that's the problem then BMR do lose credibility as a team as they're shown to be incapable of fielding a full set of competitive cars. Plus, if it is the car and not Plato having lost his ability, by getting him into a car that's on the pace (as long as he's prepared to play the team game*), he could be Sutton's rear gunner and help take points off Ash's competitors for the title. *Unfortunately I think this bit is a major flaw in my masterplan! |

Well they've had the summer break to try and mend the bent chassis. Or can they not do that? Either way I wish this wouldn't keep dragging on
