Legendary Madman Who Drove Ferrari F1 On Public Roads For Years Finally Busted By Cops

Authorities in the Czech Republic have finally tracked down an infamous 51-year-old known for driving a race car on public roads, a habit he’s reportedly kept up since at least 2019. A recent video from TrackZone captures the moment, showing the owner of the Ferrari-themed single seater refusing to give in quietly and protesting his arrest in dramatic fashion.

A Rolling Spectacle

Earlier this week, the owner of the car was filmed driving the car on highways and suburban roads as part of a convoy including a Ferrari F40, a Chevrolet C7 Corvette Z06, and a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. It appears several film cars were also used during the stunt, capturing the GP2 car’s every move.

Shortly after the driver pulled into a local gas station and proceeded to do a huge burnout in the GP2 car, police are understood to have started monitoring the man and his whereabouts.

Not long after, they tracked the driver down and reportedly tried to pull him over on public roads. But thanks to a swift tow from a Skoda that was part of the convoy, the Dallara was quickly towed into the driveway of a house.

Standoff on Private Ground

Despite the vehicle and the driver being on private property, police can be seen demanding that the driver step out of the vehicle and identify himself. The back and forth continues for several minutes with the man repeatedly claiming police had no right to be on the property without a warrant.

According to the authorities, they had every right to be there as they had reasonable suspicion that he had committed an unlawful act by driving the illegal, and unregistered car, on the road.

Ultimately, the man stepped out of the car and is believed to have been arrested. As noted by LeMatin, the fines could be hefty for driving without registration and insurance, totaling thousands of Swiss francs. Additionally, the driver may lose his license for as long as one year.

A Rare Prototype?

Until now, the car was believed to be a Dallara GP2 machine. The owner, however, claims it is something rarer: a Ferrari-Dallara F1 prototype built during Dallara’s abandoned Formula 1 project. Power is said to come from a Ferrari 2.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing more than 800 hp, giving some weight to the man’s argument that this is no ordinary track toy.
