It is with a very sad heart that we must say good bye to Massimo Angiolucci (Max Angelo), a dear friend and true fan of the sport. I have known Max for over 10 years. He was always a dedicated and devoted tester. He was consistent and diligent, working hard and pouring his talents into the sport he loved. He continuously contributed his time and energy, it’s hard to now believe he will no longer be joining us for a race, or emailing me his observations on some aspect or another. He lent a hand during testing, created translation files, was an ambassador to the Italian community and worked with us on a few commercial projects. Max was always easy to talk to. I never worried he would hold anything back and I was always free to tell him what I thought. With me, he was subtle with his disagreements but did not shy away from his convictions. He was a friend, a colleague and a valued member of our team and the community as a whole. He will be greatly missed. God bless you my friend. -------------------------------- "E' con il cuore molto triste che siamo qui a salutare Massimo Angiolucci (Max Angelo), un caro amico e un vero fan di questo sport. Ho conosciuto Max per più di 10 anni. E' sempre stato dedito alla sua passione e un devoto tester. Era consistente e diligente, lavorava duro, riversando il suo talento nello sport che amava. Ha contribuito costantemente con il suo tempo ed energia. E' difficile ora credere che non sarà più fra noi per una gara, o per una email con le sue osservazioni per questo o quell'aspetto. Ci ha aiutato durante i test, ha creato file di traduzione, è stato l'ambasciatore della community Italiana e ha lavorato con noi per un paio di progetti commerciali. Max è sempre stato qualcuno con cui era facile comunicare. Non mi sono mai preoccupato che potesse nascondere qualcosa per se e mi sono sempre sentito libero di dirgli ciò che pensavo. Con me era sottile circa i suoi disappunti ma non abbandonava mai le sue convinzioni. E' stato un amico, un collega e un valido membro del nostro team e della communità intera. Ci mancherà moltissimo. Che Dio ti benedica amico mio."
Very well said Gjon, my thoughts are with everyone at ISI and those that knew him a long with his family.
Beautifully written, Gjon. What a big loss. My thoughts are with everyone who was close to him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I am truly shocked at the news Max Angelo was one of the first members at my league back in 2006 F1Elites .. He raced with us many series when rF1 came out.. Meganes, Protos, BMW GTR.. He always was around and helping and he was a fantastic driver. I spoke to him around 7 months ago. He will be missed .... Above one of our results chart from back in the day. 10 years go. Godspeed Max .. You will be missed in the sim racing world.
Hard words to say Gjon but very well said. At first I wasn`t sure if it was the Max I "knew" or someone else as I wasn`t familiar with his real last name. I was quite shocked when I found out it was Max. I only spoke to him through rf2 and even though his native tongue wasn`t English he did his best to help in any way he could and pointed me in the right direction a few times in my early days with rf2. I know a lot of you guys knew Max a lot better than I did and I feel for you all and of course, his family but I too will miss Max. A good sim racer, a good tester and above all, a good man. Race on Max...
a very nice and friendly man, a true loss for the sim community my strongest condoliance to his family rest in peace Max
