I would just like to make everyone on here aware of the fake that is Autotorque. Since June 26th of this year he has been stringing me along offering me sponsorship for drifting. Offering me the drive of one of two S14s he apparently has and a lot more in the deal too. He offered me full support on my car till his were ready to drive. In reallity he actually only turned up to the final at Wales to get ejected from the site. And he helped Terry out with Open Battle. So for 5 months sponsorship of offering me a lot, i ended up with £100 and entry fee paid into Open Battle. Im writing this because I want to warn you all not to get involved with this guy because he is a fake. He didnt even have the balls to tell me himself that he couldnt really offer me sponsorship, I found out off another driver, even now after numerous calls, emails and texts he still wont face upto it and tell me himself. Im not the only person to be offered sponsorship by Autotorque, he also offered the world to a few other drivers too. Im sure they will reply to this.
fraud, beware The guy is a fraud, offered me full sponsorship next year and funding to build Lou a car, then as Lou has already said we found out from other drivers that was no longer the case, and now he has vanished, I have heard he also dropped Eurodrift in it. Any one else ?? been promised the earth by this dreamer ?? If you have the balls to reply Jay (autotorque) try phoning me, or if you reply on here keep it short and to the point so people do not get bored with your long winded BULL. If you turn up to an event next year steer well clear of me mate.
Oh dear its a shame to hear of more mishaps regarding next years competitions. I really hope you both get sponsorship sorted for next year, as you both deserve it.
tis a shame it has had to come to this, but i am also annoyed at how this has ended up. myself and crosshatch were planning next years competition on the sponsorship offered by Autotorque oh well back to square 1
sorry to hear bout this lou. i know what it feels like. wish i could even get the offer of sponsorship, your a very good driver and im sure someone out there will give you the chance you deserve
I hate it when so called business people are like this, they really mess it you for others and make them suffer, Thanks for the warning and i will be keeping a eye out for this fraudster!!!! You guys deserve better!!!
i know myself and two others have also been offered sponsorship next year, it did seem a little too good to be true. perhaps Jay will be able to clear this up - after all isnt it himself and Simon Perry that just paid dan the £2500 ?
no he didnt pay Dan the money, he had nothing to do with paying it, Si and Terry paid the money, Dan even says so in his post,..... infact i hear thats another thing that Jay said he would do...but didnt
Yeah to confirm from me personally, at first I was under the impression that Si and Jay would be covering the money to me, but on speaking to Si earlier he tells me Jay hasn't offered up anything at all other than further problems by empty promises.
Maybe its me, but didnt someone smell something when he suddenly sprang up from the start? Giving it the biggun and offering sponsorship and big plans left right and centre, it just seemed mega suspect to me from the start, when, as far as I could gather, he wasnt anybody, just someone who has organised a few crappy local meets/cruises/forum type crap. Sucks that he did that to people though Esp to people who really are talented and would do well from some sponsorship.
I spoke to him at Pod, he was giving it big about how he was going to save eurodrift, and i did ask him what HE was getting out of it. He stated all he wanted was the advertising on sky sports, and for that would clear all the debts. I heard from others though, that he put up 12.5k for something???
Yes we all thought it was to good to be true but gave him the benefit of the doubt for a while, seemed less likely when we heard how many people were being offered a deal, he obviously did not realise that drifters talk to each other. Dick
where do i start, yes i also was promised a turbo and scotty can confim this , this is a email sent to me from j Simon as agreed here is written email confirmation that i hereby agree to raise and have in your possesion by 10th november the sum of £1000 one thousand pounds Jay and like loo has said he has now gone from plannet earth not that he was ever on it i did not get the money from him not 1 penny all he wanted to do was act the big i am and all he is , is a 2 bit con man with a 2 bit garage with 1 old car in it with a roll cage. wot a prick well yor con did not work this time .. and i second scotty dont up turn up too an event and come near me. as wot you have dun to every 1 is wrong there is a lot more but at this point there is no need for it on here show some balls and answer

Fuck me. That offer was too good to be true. You drift for completely free everywhere you want to and we even pay your fuel and hotels. Far too good to be true. Maybe he sat down and figured out how much it would actually cost him and had a heart attack. All for putting stickers on your car??? Ouch. Now wonder you guys are pissed off.
