JASON PLATO CLAIMS POLE AT SNETTERTON

- 1st August 2009

A flying lap from Jason Plato secured pole position for the Racing Silverline team at Snetterton this afternoon, a firm reminder to his rivals that he is still very much a championship contender.

Having spent much of the practice sessions focusing on crucial car set up, Jason reached the top of the timesheets early in the qualifying session, with a time of 1:12.478. However as Turkington continued to improve on his personal best, pole was far from set. Jason responded, setting an unbeatable time of 1:12.672, taking the pole and a bonus point for his efforts.
