Can see that angle too but as this is a Porsche forum, there are a fair number of people with a strong personal stake in avoiding a similar situation. With my car, I autocross, track and road race (think tarmac rally - closed roads, sanctioned events, higher speeds than this crash) and am very interested in understanding the various car/road/driver/other factors that feed into making it around a corner safely or not. Few here are experts (certainly not myself) but I seem to learn something from almost every thread I visit on Rennlist thanks to the generosity of others sharing their opinions. I like to think that others might also drive a little safer from considering and discussing even such difficult and tragic situations as this one.

My thoughts remain with the families concerned.

even with new tires [they would have been COLD like the old ones] they were doomed. driver error...too fast in a not too familiar car.something like this can happen to any one of us that push a tad too much and tempt death.btw. i have totaled a car because of cold tires. I LIVED BUT IT WAS MY STUPIDITY THAT CAUSED IT

Do a search, "user". They were mostly technical over many years, and not dragging up a dated thread about a guy who died. You must be a fanboy who can't let go. The comment wasn't geared to post number, but rather theack of value of what you posted.

Go get your Fast & Furios movies out and watch them again.

Life is too short to deal with LOSERS like you. I do my best to stay away from people with bad energy and you are certainly one of them, hence this would be my last response to you, so feel free to keep bashing me and others in this forum which by the way is supposed to be a friendly place. I merely posted the picture out of respect to Paul Walker on the anniversary of his death (not trying to boost my post count) so go and find something positive to do in your life instead of putting down other people who you don't even know.

If Paul Walker were here he would be wondering why someone like you posts so much and drives so little let alone posting ill.

Pathetic and it's disgrace to the thread.

It's not an old thread but the anniversary of the day he passed.

Pretty sure you don't own a CGT let alone a red one of which owners are constantly reminded of that day.

BTW - the gentlemen you called a fan boy and (who posts like that) owns a pair of CGT's not that it matters you sure didn't seem to care before the insult.

Maybe you can translate that into English. Another dbag comment about history without any knowledge.

The disgrace was posting the silly meme. Let him RIP.

Yet, you spent entirely too much time posting this. Time to get over yourself and, well, get a life.
