This was one of the reasons why we had to close the site down. He was our European editor. I am unable to contact him anymore (he apparently no longer wants to be in contact with anyone associated with this site). Ultimately, he will have to do something with it, which will most likely not include consulting with me or any other former staff member.

It's a very disappointing situation, especially for me. I’ve always been an honest, up front person but I couldn’t take the deception anymore. There were many “warning signs” along the way but I wasn’t able to fully pick up on those.

I like all of your ideas to somehow keep the site alive (or archived), but I don't have authority of doing that.

I put my life into that website for 2 ½ years – day in, day out work. Spending 40+ hours a week on the site top of being a fulltime college student and working another 35 hours a week to pay the bills. But if all of that time put in meant something to all of you, it was well worth it. It was my passion and still is my passion to deliver the best possible stories on auto racing.

The-Paddock.net brought great memories and let’s just remember them for what they were.

Maybe there is a reason why Robert doesnt react that has nothing todo with you, the-paddock and sportscar racing at all ....
