Almost as good: dude shows up a few years ago at a DE, in a Lambo Gallardo. Did a couple of sessions, then the car took a dump. Literally stopped running mid session & would not re-start. It was towed in to the paddock. Plenty of fuel, batttery OK. No clue what happened.
Until about 30 minutes later when a flatbed rollback showed up & pulled the Lambo on board. Seems the guy rented it. the rental company had a GPS with a transponder on it. When it showed up o their computer driving at high rates of speed off marked roads, on a racetrack, they immobilized the ECU by remote control, since this violated the rental agreement.
It was epic.

Pilota...
I have a video that shows him on my phone but the file type(.gp) is not supported on RL. If anybody can explain to a computer idiot how to edit or rename or something I can post up.

Gather in the morning in the hotel lobby for transport to Barber Motorsports Park for the Porsche entry level driving school and this guy shows up in a fully badged and monogramed Ferrari MS Driving suit, helemet & shoes. Wore them both days. Didn't have a clue.
