    A Ferrari 250 GTO was badly damaged in an accident in France yesterday, when it was heading for L Mans Classic:

    The crash happened when the Ferrari took a left and was hit in the flank by a passing car. 4 people were taken to the hospital, including the american GTO driver and his wife. Hope they all recover quickly.

    Re: Ferrari 250 GTO accident Le Mans Classic

    This is why I don't like racing (or even driving) old cars...they just aren't safe.

    I remember a 356 driver killed by the steering column at a speed of merely 50 kph... angry

    Not really my cup of tea but I love looking at them.
