Dammit! You hit on that too quickly. I was expecting it to go unspoken for a while. Frankly, whatever she's doing to keep the wheels on the car and run more laps in a day than many of us will see in a lifetime, it suggest there is a level of maintenance and operation at which the centerlocks are reliable.

Then again, if this is a mistaken assumption and a Porsche Centerlock kills Sabine Schmitz, well, I'll be handing out the flaming torches for the mob to storm into the Porsche factory and drag all those bean counters out to hang 'em from the highest tree.


ps. rather bland, old Tag she's wearing, I'm surprised some generous client hasn't put something rather more fitting on her wrist.

the key fob is just way too sensitive - this happens to me all the time - just happened again at Watkins Glen last weekend - i get the meatball flag, come in thinking wtf is hanging off my car, pit lady comes over and closes my front trunk - the good thing is i have tested it many a time unintentionally and it is good to at least 150mph so far

PJS, currently 3 kids and counting. Cars and girls, then some work. You guess the order. Then again, his wife looks way better than him.

no idea about the wheels but last year she had Conti ForceContact tires on her GT3 which she uses to take ppl around the Ring in what is called "Taxifahrt" ... which literally means cab ride (i used to think that a cab takes you from A to B where in this case she takes you from A to A )
