carsten.meurer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
you can read about my position towards racing in the blocking thred...

at least over here and especially in belgium, the officials are pretty quick in filling theire pockets, asking you to pay 350 quid for going over a white line into a runnoff area twice and similar . don't even wanna know what they need the money for...

but they do bugger all to stop obviously dangerous driving !

i witnessed a guy going round zolder with a broken car, taking out as many people on the way as he could. he took out a guy that was flying past him in the paddock chicane at zolder, completely writing his car of in the concrete
wall ! he joked about it, told it was fun to watch ! he admitted to try and
get as many as he could !
neither the race officials, nor renault did anything against him - did not bann
him from future races, did not fine him to maybe donate some parts to the poor bloke to repair his wreck - bugger all !


caring about the serious things is too much work !
you might get asked to attend a court case at the msa , - for what ?
it doesn't earn them money !
crossing white lines earns you 350 for no work !


long gone are the times where clubs organized events for the good of the sport ! today its making enough money to life a sweet life for the rest of the year... all from a single event !

no, i won't go on into entry fees, tire cost and low quality spare parts,
licens fees and club memberships, and everything else that is so expensive it makes you wonder who lives a billionaires life from it...
