About the Renault Laguna #3 J. Plato Oulton Park BTCC 1998 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Renault Laguna recreates Jason Plato's car #3 from the 1998 Oulton Park round of the British Touring Car Championship. The sealed one-piece body carries the Super Touring era's flared arches and full sponsor livery. A genuine highlight of a golden era in BTCC racing.

The late-1990s Super Touring era produced some of the most fiercely contested and heavily supported racing Britain has ever seen, and Jason Plato's Renault Laguna campaigns sit right at the heart of that period's popularity.

Resin Casting of a Super Touring Livery

Otto casts this Laguna as a single sealed resin body, and the Super Touring era's dense sponsor liveries benefit from resin's capacity for sharp, well-registered graphic detail. Because the body has no opening panels, the model's entire fidelity plays out on the exterior: the flared wheel arches required by BTCC regulations of the period sit correctly proportioned against the wide racing tyres, and the Plato livery's sponsor decals are printed with clean, legible edges rather than blurred registration. The Laguna's rounded, aerodynamically optimised saloon shape suits resin's affinity for compound curves, and the model's roofline and bootline hold their true form in a way a die-cast equivalent would likely soften. The finish carries genuine paint depth beneath the graphics, giving the base colour real presence rather than simply serving as a canvas for the decals.

A BTCC Highlight for a Touring Car Collection

This Laguna sits at the centre of a Super Touring or 1990s BTCC theme, and Jason Plato's involvement gives it real weight given his long, successful association with the championship across multiple decades. At 1:18 the saloon's rounded proportions and flared arches give it a distinctive touring-car silhouette, easily distinguished from the road-going Laguna it's based on. Resin models of this era's BTCC subjects remain a genuinely rewarding area to collect, since the Super Touring years produced such a wide variety of manufacturer liveries and driver pairings, and this Oulton Park entry is a well-documented, specific moment rather than a generic repaint.
