Ok, just to clarify that Val / 350ZEdinburgh did nothing wrong publicly. It was after investigation that he was found to be doing dubious things via PM.
So whoever knew had no obligation to tell the team as Val was above board on his forum posts.
It was investigated as he fell back into his old posting style which raised alarms and caused investigation.
No other member did anything wrong in my opinion.
If you like bridgestones then make sure you get RE050s as they are really good!
Toyo T1R is what I run now on both sets of wheels and they are excellent!
