Spinner?
- Thread starter rskiwi
- Start date
Don't think the perpetrator of said spin is around at the moment, I do now they were wearing a full red nomex Fia approved homologation race suit and race (pixie) boots at the time,,,apparently it was a case of getting caught out by the marbles on the track rather than actually losing their marbles...which were clearly lost long ago.......it all adds to the Legend [

No - it's still in the Chat Room
Because it seems that if one person has a spin on a parade lap, then every driver of a rear engined Porsche can't be trusted according to the people in charge at Silverstone - and every driver of a 964RS must be Real Stupid according to a couple of members of this club if you read the post in the chat room. [&:]
Nothing like tarring everybody with the same brush is there? [&:]
The ban sounds fair enough to me, if a Spa veteran like Carreraboy is unable to control a rear engined beast of a car through the marble ridden apexes, then it is hardly fair to expect mere mortals, track virgins and lesser drivers to even have a chance of getting a clean lap in []

(To be fair). I don't see that every driver of a RS was called stupid in the thread. It was clear a RS owner was the one particular spinner that was the target of the anger, but that's all.
Target of anger!!!....As if CB meant to spin,(apparently he went a little sideways???),,,, as far as I and no doubt many others on here are concerned that particular incident was and will be a memorable highlight of "Silverstone classic '07"...Derek Bell drove a 956 at a moderate pace round the track, then pulled into the pits..cool ....Carreraboy span on a parade lap, which of the 2 will be revered on these forums for years to come? clearly the benchmark has been raised for future events....most of us are not worthy []

Okay point taken - I probably read it in the wrong way which is too easy to do on these forums. Although phrases like "people who caused it", "they showed their stupid driving" and "as it is, it will always be marked by a few stupid RS 964 drivers" could infer that 912UK thought several 964RS drivers were driving stupidly.
Anyway, no harm done - life's too short and all that. And as clubsport said, just another one to add to carreraboy's list of track moments. [

Clearly the 912 muppet was only jealous that he could never get the thing to go fast enough to actually spin...marbles on the track or not [
Any time you want to chat MUPPET I'm happy......
Clearly all banter, why would any get upset by an unfortunate incident....clearly the poor chap was not happy with the line he took... Senna,Scumacher and maybe even Fangio have made mistakes on track...is Carreraboy not allowed any slack for adverse off line track conditions?

Firstly it's a Parade lap
It's ment to give every one a chance for abit of fun but not a race. It turned in to a race.
Second it's to show the public our great cars at their best on the track and a way to represent our club and other clubs related to the car.
Thirdly how the **** can you poke a lame shot at the 912. Have you ever driven one? no I doubt it.. If you could be bothered to read alittle you will read how a number of 911 owners who I took out on the track the next day with out spinning might I add , came out from the drive I gave them with a VERY NEW respect for a car half the engine size of theirs..Even the instructor Mike commented on how balanced it was in the corning and what a great little car it was..as it is 40 years old and holding it's own on the track day....
Fourthly and I will leave it here alot of people made a HUGE effort to get them and their cars there, to represent their club where disapointed .The hard work of the likes of Tony Bull, thus made his job harder.. esp from what it seams are well seasoned track day users..
