What a legend lost to Trade Price Cars and the whole sim racing community! My first experience in Assetto Corsa was with the GT4 Supercup that he made. RIP to anyone who knew him closely as well as his family! Fly High Champ!

Man this is a real shock to the system, I remember several years back when he was just getting into modding assetto corsa, I used to talk to him daily, I remember how excited he was, then getting to go meet real Ginetta teams allowing him to realise the full potential of his talents. He even offered me a job since we were both in the same sector at the time. That Ginetta mod was his pride and joy, years upon years of dedication went into it. He will be missed by everyone here, I hope his family can take solace in knowing how much we respect him and his work here.

Rest in peace mate.

You 'personally' made this white Ginetta for me because I asked you a couple of times, me feeling pretty annoying.... I will never forget....

Cheers
