Ouch! but he had the right attitude when he said I'm able to walk away from it so its not that bad.

Then I think I heard him say I'll just need to get and FXX now

mid engined cars snap easily, nothing wrong really... they should have added more protection around the track maybe.

I cant believe that someone would race a limited edition Ferrari like that. I understand being filthy rich and wanting to actually drive the car like it was designed to be driven but why not do it in a F430 or something easily replaced. The roads during the targa are not very forgiving
