The two-time champion contested his final season in the championship with Rich Energy BTC Racing.

A move to the independent Honda Civic Type R squad seemed to reignite the tin top legend and by the end of the campaign there was talk of Plato returning in 2023, although as it stands, he bows out as one of the all-time greats in our sport.
