@PlatoRacing @BTCC @Catacleanuk @AdamMorgan33 @DanielRowbottom @BRDCSilverstone @ASUSUK @CiceleyMercedes @Oulton_Park @jasonplato @GoodyearRacing See you at Thruxton!

@RetroGP_Store @HillF1 The reason I first went to see a GP…and he won!
My childhood hero.
RIP.

@DPJHodges There was a chap on the news last night who had flown in from Australia (Southampton born & bred).
By the time he changed flights in Dubai, friends & family were calling him to say Saints were out.
It’s cost him £3000!

@DPJHodges I was traumatised as a teen after that last episode!

[Ian @stirling63]

@DPJHodges If this happened in my constituency, and my local MP (who I had voted for) resigned in favour of someone in who had no real interest in local issues, but just wanted to use my vote as a springboard to power….well, I’d vote for anyone but them.

@jasonplato @PlatoRacing @Catacleanuk @Snapon_Tools @ASUSUK @BTCC @Brands_Hatch More than happy. Will wear it with pride.
Thank you.

@PlatoRacing @Brands_Hatch @jasonplato @BRDCSilverstone @BTCC @GoodwoodRRC @AdamMorgan33 @DanielRowbottom @ASUSUK @Catacleanuk Looking forward to getting mine tomorrow (according to Royal Mail), plus this picture just popped up on my Facebook feed…apparently 17 years ago!
Where does the time go?

[Ian @stirling63]

@autosport I lost count of the number of times I stood and watched Nigel race. From F3 to F1 and Indycar he NEVER lifted off.
Silverstone 87 will stay in my mind forever.
Say it as it is Nigel.

[Ian @stirling63]

@PlatoRacing @DoningtonParkUK @BTCC @jasonplato @BRDCSilverstone @AdamMorgan33 @DanielRowbottom @ASUSUK @ASUS @GoodyearRacing @DesignsCallum You should all be absolutely proud of yourselves…onward and upwards!

[Ian @stirling63]

@BTCC @PlatoRacing @DanielRowbottom Brilliant. Just brilliant!

[Ian @stirling63]

@jasonplato Sadly I have to work, but I’ll be at Thruxton.

[Ian @stirling63]

@HillF1 I have my B&H cap. Won’t part with it. One of the best bits of merchandise I’ve ever bought since I first went to a GP in 1977.

[Ian @stirling63]

@jasonplato @PlatoRacing @BTCC @BRDCSilverstone @Catacleanuk @DanielRowbottom @AdamMorgan33 @CiceleyMercedes Go JP! Great to see you back in fighting form.
I’ve ordered the t-shirt and can’t wait for the season to start.

[Ian @stirling63]

@katieAL @SW_Help To be fair, Andy Mellors left 6 years ago and Alan Pennington 3 years ago, so I don’t think they can be blamed. Hope you find your glasses 🤞🏻

[Ian @stirling63]

@PlatoRacing @DanielRowbottom @BRDCSilverstone @BTCC @autosport @MNmotorsport @ourmotorsportuk @jasonplato @Brands_Hatch @thruxtonracing @krcircuit A statement of intent, if ever there was one!

[Ian @stirling63]

@PlatoRacing @BTCC @Brands_Hatch @DoningtonParkUK @SnettertonMSV @krcircuit @BRDCSilverstone @SilverstoneUK @Oulton_Park @thruxtonracing @jasonplato Thruxton

[Ian @stirling63]

@jasonplato Looking so forward to seeing the team on track.
I think 2026 will be Plato Racing t-shirt time 😀

[Ian @stirling63]

@DrJaninaRamirez I still have a handful of friends dating back to school in the 60’s and 70’s.
With one friend I did my first ever ‘foreign’ trip without parents aged 17 in 1981 (Dutch Grand Prix).
This year aged 61 we did Berlin to see Bruce Springsteen (and drink beer).
It feels good!

[Ian @stirling63]

@culturef1_ I was there…aged 14
