That damn tire is a bald slick. Unless they are Michelin slicks, they are like driving on ice til they get warm. Anyone ever punched the gas on cold slicks? You could crash into a pole easy.

 

Agreed. I will take every last one of em.

With all these stories floating around on the web and media. What we do know is that it was determined to be mechincal failure, what exactly we will never know, could have been the tires or something else. Bottom line is dont be too quick to judge, the car, Porsche or Roger/Paul

 

Looks like the media is taking every opportunity to blame the car and Porsche. In the end it will probably be an error in judgement. Those tires look pretty bad from the photos. Maybe they were overdue for replacement. Those guys were very experienced, but we all make mistakes.

All these talks of a mechanical failure wouldn't point to Porsche. The car was in a different shop just days before with extensive work being done and witnesses are claiming it had some sort of fluid leak from the front.

I believe it was GSR or something like that. Not a dealer, but they did have a tech that is qualified to work on the CGT.

 

couldnt agree more..but what to expect, welcomne to the 21st century of the www where everbody knows somthing..and if the media has it going on one thing..then..

Im sure someone on Facebook already launched an "anti-C-GT" group..

The best thing is just to ignore it and not to get upset about it. Imagine what a situation for the families already..the whole press has suddenly got to say something about a subject the have little clue..its even more painful for the families I would say. Let the police do their job and we will know the answer in a few weeks..

 

Prior to the accident that CGT was at GMG getting the service. GMG had the pics up on their site but took them down immediately after the accident. It was also removed from

If you google image search "gmg carrera gt red" you will see the pics pop up but the actual link is dead.
