But I'll just as soon park my ass in a Viper, a Jaguar, a Corvette and do it the hard way.
And that’s a personal preference, and good for you, but you won't see me, and I doubt anyone else put you down for it.
There are people out there who used to be 'Clio Tuners' and are now 'Lancer Tuners' all of a sudden with the new tyre rules. Makes me a bit sceptical about their motives and makes me wonder why these people don't try a trickier car just for the heck of it. Why is it people are always using the fastest car? Afraid they'll get shown up in a lesser machine? Happy to take the cred for a win but afraid to take a battering in a tough ride?
There are people who enjoy racing, and there are people who enjoy driving. In order to race up front with the pact, one needs the tools to do so, and if that means using a Lancer or whatever to race, then so be it. You like to drive a variety of cars, and good for you, but you won't see me, and I doubt anyone else, put you down for it.
As for Pent, I've seen him pull over and stop more times than I can count, so I'd never question his integrity. Rather disappointed that you'd post a link like that Sphinx, showing a one-off and inaccurate picture of one of the more honourable racers online. The fact that you kept the video, posted it online 12 days after the event and then linked it here in this thread shows who is the elitist in my opinion.
Why I store video footage for 12 days or more is of no concern of yours. However, if you really want to know, it was marked down for deletion some days ago, and If you care to go the Online Racing Videos (ORV) thread, you will see what I’ve been planning to do with this footage:
I'm clearing out all the recorded races I have over the next few days. I have no idea what they contain because they were just recorded at random, but I'll wade through them and pick out the best ones to post.

I found it ironic that as soon as I came across this footage again, I also came across the same person attempting to belittle other drivers about driving skill and the cars they drive. As the footage shows, he not only drove the very car he was attempting to put down, he also showed lack of skill whilst driving it. I’m sorry, but if you want to comment on these things and belittle other drivers, then you need to make sure that you’re squeaky clean before doing so.
You also mention Pent’s integrity and how he is an honourable driver here. For the very short time he has been here, and for the very few races I’ve raced him, I have to agree 100%. That footage wouldn’t have seen the light of day if it wasn’t for Pent’s dig at Rudi, a guy who has proved himself for years, whose integrity and honour far out weighs any of ours, and yet it appears that it’s now okay to belittle him by having a dig about the car he personally prefers to drive. If you think that will go unnoticed and without retort, then you’re very much mistaken.
