let's wait to hear from the group on here before we all conlude their guilt. I do hope that it isn't as bad as it sounds and it isn't this group.

Not an instruction at all Rob - an opinion, that if someone had an issue with others behaviour then the situation should be sorted amicably, without the need for flame wars on forums.
I'm sure that kind of behaviour happens, the alleged behaviour talked about on PH is more about the situation in which it occured than the behaviour itself.
I must say, the story suprises me, given those who were at Le Mans, and knowing many of you in person, and as has been said any incident may well have been blown out of proportion, but that is more the issue here - one of preception. As a group of people, club or no club, I'm sure none of us want to be perceived negatively by others.

Those of us who have been (many times) can expect to see such behaviour throughout the weekend, ranging from burnouts to excessive speeds, noise and general drunkenness.
It happens on the roads and in the campsites, people and cars, Beausejour had emptied a lot last night, so I'd be surprised if anyone was spinning close to tents.

on our way back to Calais now after last night's scorched earth policy of burning everything in sight and upsetting neighbours with excessive doughnuting. V tired, great weekend. Millions of pics to follow eventually.

However, I don't believe this website is here for people to conclude guilt or sit in judgement?

No, thats not what this website is here for Rob. But it is important that this group - S2ki and the people who use the site are not tarred with the same brush - and that includes anyone who was at Le Mans where the alleged donuts took place, who did not partake in the activity.
