I think the thread was closed a few years ago, possibly deleted.

Shame as it sounds like a classic.

It was epic. Some of the posts were tears funny and there was a lot of clever stuff. It is/was not the same after a while after GR went back and editied most of his stuff and the wheels went off when some new poeple overheated GR and it went nasty.

"epic" is actually an understatement

Nothing like an epic thread to pass the time. Too few and far between but when they happen,

As far as I know the thread still exists. Yohave search back years - check the defaults on the Search page else you'll never find it.

tried to begining of Rennlist. No luck. there is a thread that mentions it was taken out back and shot in front of a freshly dug hole. With your Rennlist super powers can you find it or pull it up from the abyss in another thread? We might not want to taint this one.

At the end of the day you had probably one of the best Spa days of the season, only 45 cars in attendance and more laps than most people will ever get!

As a bit of 'life advice' (separate to all this nasty **** here) you sometimes need to look for the half-full glass. Yes, you feel you got 'nailed' with excess charges - but you did get to rock two of the best tracks in the world with nobody on the passenger seat hitting a kill switch or telling you to change up at 5000rpm or come in now to 'rest' as you've done too many KMs.

European race schools can be very different to English/American ones, but with the freedom comes the responsibility.

P.S. I'm not a total **** or I would have nailed your CC already for a stretched handbrake cable and two flatspotted tyres. And you're not a total ****, or I would have had to fax your contracts off to the CC company by now.

So, can we put this behind us?
+1

personally I think this thread should be deleted as was the one on the 997 GT3 forum once all the details actually came to light ... I personally would happily rent from RSR in future given the circumstances ...

"not a total ****"
