Ref GTD Supercars
Disclaimer 25.04.2003
Following recent comments made by some individual members of this forum, we have been forced to issue this disclaimer to protect our reputation and standing. Whilst we have been aware that the forum did contain items concerning us, which to a certain extent, was only to be expected following the demise of GTD.
However in the past few days it has been discovered that the site contained some highly libellous, untrue and defamatory material directed at us, these allegations are without substance and are highly offensive. Clearly some individuals are completely unaware of the potential legal ramifications and to ensure that these members involved are aware of the consequences of their comments I have contacted them, to offer them the chance to retract their comments and offer a full apology to us. Additionally, we have provided the following statement to clarify the position regarding GTD Supercars (GTD).
GTD Supercars (GTD)
GTD has been liquidated. The voluntary liquidation was brought about due to financial difficulties. Prior to liquidation we endeavoured to satisfy as many customers as we could. The vast majority of customers had their orders completed without problem. Of course it wouldn't be expected of customers who were satisfied to come onto the forum and sing the companies praises. GTD has been through strict liquidation procedures and consequently individuals should contact the liquidators if they have any on going claim against GTD.
Specific problems with customers have been dealt with on an individual basis only, it is then up to those customers whether they wish to use this forum as a platform for airing grievances, on factual basis only and without directly naming individuals. These and other forum members’ comments regarding GTD will be validated for accuracy and we reserve our position to proceed against any individual who makes incorrect, libellous or defamatory comments against either GTD Supercars (GTD) or former directors of.
Make no mistake we are disappointed that GTD had to be liquidated, over the years a substantial investment in terms of time and money was made. Sadly this has now been lost.
Spencer Marsh.
I would now like to refer to one of the allegations contained on the forum regarding me (Spencer Marsh). I am a professional racing driver, this is how I earn my living. I am well respected by organisations such as the BARC the BRDC and TOCA. It was suggested by a forum member that customers money was used to fund my racing, this is totally untrue. This can of course be substantiated by the liquidator and my sponsors. Last year I was sponsored by a large pharmaceutical company in the BTCC. My interests are looked after by a professional management company where I am viewed as their investment. My management is now aware of the defamatory and libellous comments that have been written on this site. They are highly protective and will not tolerate any tampering with my reputation in this way and will take all actions necessary to maintain my status in motorsport.
The forum member responsible for stating that GTD funds were used to support my racing has since retracted unreservedly all allegations.
I hope that this statement and disclaimer clarifies the position regarding both GTD its former directors and specifically my job as a motor racing driver.
