World Mental Health Day 2025 💚 “I didn’t leave the house for six months. I took the mirrors down, every mirror down. I hated myself, didn’t know who I was.” At Silverstone two-time BTCC champion Jason Plato sat down with Louise Goodman and opened up about his period after retirement - losing his racing career, his identity, and his sense of self all at once. But this is also a story of hope. Of finding your way back. “Speaking to people was key... you need to realise who your friends are, who your real, true friends are.” Now, Jason’s looking ahead to a new chapter with an intention on returning to the paddock as a team manager in 2026. Nicki Shields, Jade Edwards, Paul O’Neill and Tim Harvey discuss the reality many athletes face and the importance of finding your identity beyond the sport. Whether you’re a sports person or not, if you’re struggling - reach out. Talk to someone. You’re not alone. #BTCC #WMHD25 #WorldMentalHealthDay
