Default crashed F399



Dutch Ferrari-distributor Frits Kroymans crashed his ex-schumacher F399 last week during a practice of a historic challenge at the circuit of Monterey California. He crashed because of oil on the track. Luckily he had no major injuries, just a sore knee.

Wow - the cockpit just broke. Perhaps this is because the materials age very quickly, becoming brittle and no longer offer the structural integrity they do when new.

:shock:

whoever took that pic is a pro. He must have been aiming at him all the time till the incident happened. Makes you think if it was him who dripped oil...
