Group Racing Developments
Group Racing Developments, known more simply as GRD, was a short-lived British constructor of racing cars. It was formed in 1971 with a large percentage of staff coming from those made redundant from the closure of Lotus Cars customer car manufacturing arm. They built cars for Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula Atlantic and Sports 2000 racing classes until a decline in British racing vehicle manufacturing bit into the industry in 1975 that paralleled the oil crisis.[1]

gollark: Can't it also scrape ones you post in a server it's monitoring?
gollark: Stuff like which servers you're on is in the weird area of "semi-public information" - there's probably a better name for that but I don't know it - which you can gather pretty easily and cheaply, but which is also not really meant by whoever manages it to be exposed that way.
gollark: *Of course* they didn't just go away. Oh well...
gollark: If I had to really securely communicate with someone I'd probably try and meet them in person to exchange public keys or something.
gollark: I'm also relatively confident the government doesn't have my *exact* internet history and whatnot, as that's spread over a bunch of sites and details like exactly which site I'm connecting to and which page on it are encrypted now.
