I just like to say you will be missed but understand fully with your decision...
i going to miss you and all the help you have given me over this period making me feel very welcome as staff..

Keep in touch and dont forget us..

Sad day indeed, Stuart has been responsible for the continued development of GTL at RD, turning it into the most friendly on-line group here. We owe you so much, and I hope you can return soon after a refreshing break.
See you soon, I hope.

Jacob Boonstra · Mar 31, 2013

Thanks for all you did so far. Hope to see you back soon man, you've made GTL the way it is now.

Eck Simpson · Mar 31, 2013

A sad day?, that doesn't quite cover it.... GTL minus Stu, does not compute...

You get your ass back, very soon sir...

Hans Sneep · Mar 31, 2013

That's a hard one, Stuart did make GTL what it is now !
Thank you for al the things you did, we will miss you an hoping it is temporary an see you soon!

Ondrej Kapal · Mar 31, 2013

I am so sorry to hear that. Stuart have done so much for this league, for the Racing Club and for us - drivers. He have been there all the time - it can't be expressed in a short way. And he's the icon of sportsmanship, respectful to other drivers on the track, being an example. Thank you.

I hope we will see this gentleman again in action soon!

...

I could make a very very lengthy post here (like I usually do

) and I'd still just scratch the surface of everything Stuart has done for GTL here at RD and for our enjoyment, and what that means to me personally. But I think we all do know already..

One way or another Stu, I really hope you can find a way to fit GTL and our little group here back in your life and enjoy it like you made us enjoy it, preferably someday soon!

For now:

It's been a pleasure driving with you..

Peter van Zanten · Mar 31, 2013

This is indeed a sad for GTL and us

but I hope you take your time Stu and come back to GTL and us. You are a great man Stu so hope to see you back

Thanks for all off your work.We can only bow four your work at GTL.

Paul Bennett · Apr 1, 2013

Stuart as a newbie in the club thanks for your help and support, hope to see back at GTL some time soon

Ross McGregor · Apr 3, 2013

All the best Thommo, I'm sure you'll be back in some capacity in the future. Maybe a little break will get those GTL juices flowing again stronger than ever! Pretty much my whole introduction into the world of proper sim-racing occurred in the RD GTL club under your administration, so I'm enormously grateful to you for giving up your own time to ensure folk like me just need to turn up and race.

Best wishes sir!

Senad Subasic · Apr 3, 2013

Indeed, most of my driving was in the GTL club. Great events, nice atmosphere, fun all round. Never could replicate the experience anywhere else.

Hope you'll get more free time and interest to get back into it again.

Łukasz Demolin · Apr 3, 2013

Wait, so this wasn't an April Fools joke?

This is a big change in the GTL world obviously, but hopefully it will be good for you, Stu. We all know how these things can start to tire you and a deep breath of fresh air without the load on your shoulders can do wonders. Thanks for all your efforts and stay awesome

Rui F. Martins · Apr 3, 2013

Carlos Diaz · Apr 9, 2013

What a loss for GTL!!! But it's about time Thommo gets a well deserved break. You will be missed buddy. I hope you come back at some point and race with us, even if you don't find the time to be staff again. We'll try our best to keep the club/league friendly to the new guys (like I was once) and to uphold the standards you set in place.

Dave Flower · Apr 11, 2013

Stuart Thomson - sorry to hear this Stuart, haven't had much to do with you directly as I've been an RDer for a while, but on GTL for only a short period. That said I've always found you to be helpful and extremely competent both on track and off. The post and feeling that you'll be missed run deeper than even this thread shows. I like everyone else thankyou for all your help, attitude and input into RD, as Rupe said.. a sad day. I've no idea of the reasons for this, that you want a break is all we do need to know. I hope it's short term and to see you back, sooner rather than later, you have friends here, that's plain for all to see. That comes not from just being an admin, and doing your 'job'. Hope you get the GTL urge back soon. In the meantime all the best and know we will all be pleased to see you back, staff or otherwise. Respect.
