Found this Neal and Plato series so interesting! I've always been the biggest Plato fan and had no time for Neal, how short sighted of me, both absolute legends and great to see them laughing about the tense years 🏁

Best thing I've seen for ages parts 1 and 2. Takes me back when it was proper racing with proper touring cars

The 7 thumbs down must be from the current touring car grid!! 😂

From this point on he must be known as Jason “couch” Plotato

Jonny, this has been one of the best driver interviews ever. Great work and well done for pulling it together.

Jonny Smith. Absolutely top class interviews, thoroughly enjoyable: full marks.

So glad we got to see JP and MATT going at it in the day Even happier they have grown old enough to become friends again and enjoy their lives.

These last few chats and the Chris Harris chat has got to be the best things to happen on YT for a long time!!!

"I've made a bridge" 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely brilliant. I've really enjoyed these videos.

I could of easily watched a lot more of this, 1 of the best things I've watched on KZfaq in a long while and I know I'm not alone in thinking that. Well done to everyone who put this together.

Low budget is what KZfaq is all about for me this interview let us fans in to the real life of btcc absolutely fu@king brilliant thank you Jonny, Jason, Matt And all of you that had anything to do with bringing this to us 👏👏👏👏

The Late Brake Show - The gift that just keeps giving.

God, this has been one of my favourite interviews of recent times, your channel is going strength to strength 💪

I loved these interviews and wow such raw honesty - neal in describing his marriage break up and Plato with his “on the spectrum” comments - you rarely get such honesty and frankness from pro sportsmen these days. I used to think JP was a bit of a jerk at times but I changed my mind after watching these vids. The mutual respect is there despite the rage that isn’t far below the surface at times ! Well done Jonny

These are the most honest and funniest interviews I have seen in ages... forget Parkinson... Jonny Smith the new god of interviews!

I love how it’s quite amicable until they start talking about past comings together and you can see the rage start to surface. Amazing video. BTCC will be much poorer when these guys call it a day.

Plato would fit right into the house of commons with that slouch

Coming from someone who's really not that into motorspoaht, these vids have made me want to go down a deep BTCC rabbit hole...which I'm off down into now. Grazie and ciao!

"no coat hanger" OMFG hilarious! - Props to the original TOCA racing drivers. In the past few years, it is too weak; these guys put their bollocks on the line, rubbing panels in nearly every corner. Reid, Muller, Biela, Thompson, Kox, Radisich, Rydell, Hoy, Harvey, Cledland, Menu, Aiello to name a few, these including the guys here on are in another league... not to mention how cool the cars they had were!

Best automotive content on KZfaq without question. Well done Jonny.

Jonny, you fill the void that Chris Harris left when he went to top gear. Thanks for the awesome content!

Thank you Jonny, seeing these two together after all these years, relaxed and chatty is absolutely wonderful. The fact that they now openly admit to winding each other up for fun is fantastic. These two MADE touring cars for twenty years. Half an hour has never gone by so quickly 😃😃

Fantastic, absolute legends... I remember watching Plato in the Renault Laguna and Neal winning the first race as a privateer in the Nissan Primera. Brilliant job Johnny!

21:08 Matt still hasn't forgiven Jason for that one me thinks ..... :)

Outstanding Mr Smith. Fantastic stuff and I will hand on heart say its totally changed my opinion of Matt Neal. Brilliant. 👍👍👍👍👍 Cannot wait to see these two old warhorses at it again in 2021!

Absolute gold. Best thing I have watched on KZfaq this year.

This series was utter brilliant Jonny. I laughed my socks off at some of the antics JP mentioned. Just shows that behind the scenes these guys have huge respect for each other despite what tv & the tabloids portrayed.

Jason Plato is a national treasure. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Watched both Jason & Matts separate videos already including the one of them together. Absolutely brilliant !

Thanks Johnny Matt and Jason this Is simply the best thing ever on KZfaq. Credit to you all 👏👏👏👏

Nice one mate. That was a brilliant watch. The 90's touring car years were some of the best racing ever. Big Renault fan, and all I drove in the 90's. I will send you a pic from my Max Power feature !!!!

Probably the best 30 mins I've seen on KZfaq! Absolutely brilliant. So glad they were grown up enough to talk about it all and be smiling too

Yes johnny!! Quality interview! How pt2 answers the questions of pt1 is a slick bit of edit. 👍

This series is top tier content. I love how you dont keep us hanging for over a week to see the 2nd parts too!

Best interview I've seen on KZfaq, both Jason and Matt were excellent, on form and very honest about their rivalry, well done Johnny and an amazing setting

This is brilliant. Loved these two episodes more than anything else you've done. I don't watch TV, I don't want to see amateurs doing stuff on telly, so I tend to watch a lot on youtube where professionals show their skill and teach you something once in a while. Listening to these two guys is more inspiring than anything on telly - Good job Jonny. You made the settings and asked the right questions. Same goes for the other brown chair episodes. Keep you the good work

Absolute legends the pair of them. Two of the best ambassadors for motor sport👍

I’ve not enjoyed a series of videos as much as this in a long, long time. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks Johnny, for the early XMAS present. I must admit though, there was more entertainment in just any five minutes of this, than the whole of the last two episodes of the Grand Tour put together. Now I'm off to dig the old PS1 and TOCA Touring Car Championship after watching this.

One of the best KZfaq videos in my time. Maybe you can get an interview with an F1 drivers. Dani Rick comes to mind.

I remember spending many a time watching these two slug it out with my Dad. Definitely the best era for BTCC by far. Both of them are absolute legends. Thanks guys, this was great.

totally amazing BTCC series...well done JOnny!! after part 1 I couldnt wait for part 2...addictive viewing

Stunning!! Absolutely stunning, probably the best KZfaq video I've ever seen, I could listen to that for hours. Other "car" KZfaqrs should watch this and see how its done

That didn't disappoint .. Tears of laughter flowed from the toilet story .. Well Done Mr Vert .. I hope you, Mrs Chops and the rest of your family have a great Christmas ..

Trailer definitely needs a Remus exhaust on it!

Thanks Jonny. I’m 40, my Sundays were sitting with my Dad watching these 2 race. Even now, a trip to Snetterton to a BTCC meet with my Dad and Brother is a real treat I’m utterly convinced I could be a touring car driver. True or not. Thanks to these two. Given my surname, it might surprise you I’m a Plato fan. 😬 Thanks to all three of you for a great series and the best racing there has ever been.

I'm not British, nor a BTCC fan, but the quality of the guests and interview made this very amusing for any petrolhead! Thank you Johnny! This is top quality "TV" !

Jonny, that trailer needs a wrap from a well-known wrapping company, followed by a full detail and PPF from another KZfaqr's PPF company. Them get an exhaust and new wheels fitted whilst documenting the installation. Then you should drive it very slowly through central London over the space of 8 videos. Shortly afterwards, post a video saying "I'm selling my trailer!! What should I buy next???"

Genuinely the best thing I’ve watched on KZfaq for years, great banter between these legends, proper blokes who aren’t afraid to say what they think.

Out of all the stuff on KZfaq & TV .... this genuinely, has to be the best I've seen. Fantastic. Could watch this for hours👍👍

Good grief. The stories these two could tell... I’d happily watch 3 more parts to this series. Great job Jonny, really happy for you and your channel.

Jonny that was epic.. thanks so much for getting them together. Absolutely brilliant!

Well done Jonny this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on KZfaq please do more like this 👍🏼 Plato and Neal both legends

This series has been great! The best show on KZfaq. Nice to get confirmation that most driven competitors are on the spectrum, we've always suspected it!

Jonny Smith, what an absolute gem of an interview you’ve managed to sort out. So much info and interesting stories from two old rivals. Nobody else managed to do that. Well played, Sir!

Really refreshing to see all these interviews without there being loads of replays of the incidents. Just an "idol" chat between "friends"

Brilliant. Do more of these if you can get drivers together. Would love to see these three presenting an alternative Top Gear.

I could honestly listen to/watch a whole series of these two talking about the good old days. Bloody brilliant.

Seriously one of the best racing driver interview pieces ever........

Absolute gold, loved listening to the stories of 2 legends

One of the best things I've watched in a long time! Had me laughing my way through a mundane xmas eve shift.

Not only a brilliant interview about some of the glory days of touring cars, but one of the best videos on KZfaq ever! Well done Jonny, Matt and Jason!

This BTCC set of vids is a real treat. It's easy to forget this is KZfaq; the quality of production, the number of cameras, the set-up, the editing, the audio, the location, the guests, the quality of the questions. This is superb quality. Thanks Jonny! Have you ever considered a career in telly? ;-)

Jonny, that was terrific. I'm happy to see them both doing well and have made up.

Jonny these interviews were fantastic. My favourite drivers telling all, it seemed to be a really friendly chat between chums, very entertaining. Well done.

Absolutely amazing. This has been such an interesting glimpse into touring car drivers. And what better legends that these two chaps. Really enjoyed this Jonny.

This is tv gold mate.......absolutely brilliant! It’s just as if we were lucky enough to have a few pints in a pub with these guys telling stories.

Amazing, two legends and great interview. Well done Johnny, best interview in years, and respect to both guys.

Brilliant! That was probably the best youtube I've seen this year!

Absolutely brilliant, Jonny. That's how you conduct an interview with two real characters, something sorely missing in todays world. Puts the nonsense that comes out of the shit pump on my living room wall to shame. Well done all of you!

Jonny, if these videos don't get you to 1 million subscribers there is no justice in the world. Brilliant, just Bloody brilliant.

Absolute legends 👌 and you're a legend for sorting this out 👍

Absolutely cracking Interview, Jonny. Best show on the Tube by far.

Jonny - you've peaked mate. That was utterly superb! Thanks so much for giving us some insight to all the on-track antics those two legends got up to over the years.

This series has been the best thing I have watched all year. To bring together the two legends of BTCC and have a chat about it was fascinating viewing. Brilliant.

Loving how horizontal Plato gets in that chair!

This interview was an absolute triumph! Really enjoyed watching it.

These 2 episodes have been some of the most enjoyable and entertaining automotive content on KZfaq. Well done Jonny keep it up.

Best set of interview I have seen in ages. Grew up watching these two thrash it out on track. Making of the btcc for my generation.

Traditional media could never have done this - utterly epic. Well done.

Love it. Those two need to do a tour and you could host Jonny. 👍👍

Really enjoyed the series with Plato & Neal. Lots of genuine laugh out loud moments along the way!

Brilliant interview with Matt and Jason. Brought back so many memories of watching 90’s BTCC and those guys knocking lumps out of each other

Absolutely fantastic watching this interview,two legends of the racing world and in such a stunning setting as well,very well done sir 👍🏻

Thanks Jonny for doing this with Matt and Jason. Absolutely hilarious, there were some gems here. The audiobook of How Not to be a Professional Racing Driver is even funnier as JP does some very good impressions of the voices of those he mentions in the book. Has anyone got a "limited edition" Plato book?

Thank-you to all three of you, I have been doagnosed with Menieres disease so needed a good chuckle and the three of you didn't disappoint. Your all leg ends ;)

It's fair to say, I missed the best days of BTCC. But watching Plato float around media, I remember as a youngster! It's good to finally meet the people behind the face! (Which in turn is not all that different) Amazing content as always, Definitley going to sort some kind of patreon subscription.

I flippin love these idol chats! This one has been absolutely fantastic. Would love to see one with Tiff Needel, but I suspect that one is on the cards 😊

you saved the best till last, this was awesome liked and subbed

Just superb Jonny. This should be on mainstream TV. Very of the moment. Matt and JP on form too. Lovely to hear about all those stories. Well done!!

The interviews with pair of reprobates are up their with the very best sports interviews I've seen. You should be very proud of this work.

Absolutely brilliant episode Jonny and those 2 are epic 😂😂😂

Jason Plato - the Rowley Birkin QC of motorsport

Thoroughly thoroughly enjoy these interviews! Keep them coming, if possible! 👍😊

Both absolute legends of BTCC, and beyond. What a brilliant interview Jonny, let them talk and didn’t interrupt, and what stories.. top drawer

The trailer needs some 17in TSW Venoms, smoked rear lenses and PPG candy flip paint for the full Max Power look. And maybe an Alpine or Rockford Fosgate sticker.

This series has really got legs ... can't wait to see where it goes!

Since the rebrand, consistently the best content on you tube. Happy Christmas and look forward to what you have for us in the new year.

Really enjoyed that - excellent work Jonny ... I was fortunate enough to get in a car with Jason when he was instructing at a Rally School in Gainsborough (Blyton Park - probably mid-90s) early November. Owned by Howard Paterson, who was doing the drivers brief, he paused as he was facing the windows looking out onto the track saying "sorry, just hang on a minute, he's up to something". As we all turned there was an almighty bang as the firework that Jason had dropped into one of the oil drum bins exploded, and he skuttled off laughing his head off. The stories are great, I'm not surprised by them though he is a total charater.
