Default Wasted Ferrari F50 GT!!!

I don't know if this is old news...but it seems that the owner of the #001 F50GT crashed it, and it's now undergoing repairs...what a waste...crashing one of only 3 made...

Someone who can afford the running costs of an F50 GT can get it fixed again. It's still a shame though. At least it's certain he drives it hard. Which is good.

yes its a waste but at least he had a good hard drive on the track instead of locking it up in a garage. if he did it on public roads then we can call him an idiot.

It happened earlier in the year. From what I heard the owner wasn't driving it at the time either.It was at Sears Point i think.Several cars crashed that day.

you can't replace it...there were only 3 ever made...so either you fix it or you can say goodbye to a really exclusive piece of art...
