I suppose if it cracked the frame?


Cracked the frame??? I'm pretty sure there is no "frame", it's just a big carbon fiber piece that's now toast. That single piece is probably why it is totalled, too.

I'm aware that its a carbon fiber tub, call it a frame, a tub, a monocoque, whatever you want.

I love his explanation of the plot of the movie, that basically, it doesn't have one. . .

It looked like the autox course was on the infield portion of a circle track and the concrete wall he hit was some sort of a retaining wall...like for a pit lane.

They just did a story about it on CNN and showed a different angle. It was at Irwindale Speedway and it looked like a Jersey barrier. They also had footage of other folks hitting things in Ferraris.

Sorry, from the first story I read they said it was during a road course practice. I didn't see the video. To be that calm about it maybe he had more insurance on it than he paid for it? Or more likely he wasn't really a car guy, just bought it because he could... :roll:
