Errrr... (NSFW if you work in a convent)

Background
RPM Motorsports, formerly run by Robin Mortimer, campaigns GT cars - previously in the 2006-2009 British GT series (2006 GT3 Porsche 911; 2007 GT3 Dodge Viper, wins at Rockingham [2] and Brands Hatch [2]; 2009 GT3 Ford GT, won at Donington) and currently in the 2010 International GT Open (GT3 Ford GT). One of Robin's sons - Alex - is a driver for RPM Motorsports.
 
The 26 year-old has been working from a “dungeon” in a detached house in the quiet Belgian village of Sint-Job-in-’t-Goor for five years.

In 't Goor? Sounds like it's in Yorkshire.
 
Oh dear :O

I actually met Rob at a British GT race a couple of years ago and he was a genuinely nice guy. Had a pint with us in the paddock bar at silverstone after Saturdays qualifying and gave us free shirts and stuff (now I know why the wife got a really niceactual team shirt as worn by team staff and I got a promo T-shirt for his strip club :lol: ). Really nice down to earth guy, a big loss for British motorsport.

What a way to go though :D
 
Some get taped, some get killed. I see S&M is fashionable among top motorsports personnel from Britain. I wonder if Luca di Montezemolo and Jean Todt share that kind of passion for extreme ... errr ... activities :D
 
Reminds me of the stupid deaths section on the horrible history programmes my brother watch's.

Is she referring to her sessions or practice sessions for the racing? :lol:
