Wow, just look at that front tire, snapped the spokes right off. Inside doesn't look too bad, hopefully he came out alright. Too bad about the car tho.

That rear wing looks fine tho, someone find the owner and ****** it up.

Sorry, I have no story behind the photos...

All I could think was similar to those Parts Heaven ads... "I wonder if those seats would fit my 74 RSR project"

All joking aside, sad to see such a beauty ruined...

I know, I know, it's a cheap plug.

I'm guessing that PR = Puerto Rico???
The local looks kinda iffy...scary to think what the track safety was like...not up to FIA standards I'm sure.

Hope the driver was OK!

Sad to see the car munched up

Wow!! That sucks!! Similar accident happened a couple of track days ago at the Dubai Autodrome: silver and orange RS folded in half. Driver walked away without a scratch. It is so sad to see these gorgeous machines destroyed...

Sanctioned by the FIA – FISA – NACAM. It now has in addition a 1/8 mile dragstrip, a 1.2 mile and a 1.8 mile road circuit, and an oval go-kart track.
