I will try to translate it since probably most people on this board don't understand French. A terrible accident involving a Porsche happened yesterday on the highway near Liege, in Belgium. The driver lost the control of the car at an estimated speed of 250 km/h. The car went throught the middle of the highway, hit a big lighting pylon and drag it on the other side of the highway on more than 100 meters. The impact was terrible, the car being splitted in two. The two people in the car passed away. According witnesses the accidented Porsche, a silver 996 GT2, was in fact involved in high speed driving or may be street racing with another Porsche, a GT3 RS. The driver of the GT3 RS, which appear later on to be also the owner of the GT2, did not stop after the accident. He was however arrested by the police at Spa-Francorchamps where he was supposed to race at the 1OOOkms of Spa race of this week end! He is actually in jail, an exceptional decision in Belgium for a driver who did not kill other pepole under the influence of alcohol.
This very sad story (which could have been worse if the car would have hitten on the other side of the highway others cars transporting families), should remind us the danger of high speed on open road, even with highly skilled drivers. I suppose that most readers of this board, including myself, are somewhat addicted to speed but this kind of accident make you really think twice...
