This is what I have heard:
-A Porsche GT3 blew his engine, and hit the rails.
-A Lamborghini had a fight with a truck, and lost -> crashed.
-It is confirmed that the Looney Coswrth has retired in Morocco.
-A yellow Enzo had a flat tire in Morocco on 07.05, and came as the last car to the last Checkpoint that day.
-A red Enzo crashed and retired in Spain on 7.05. Detail unknown.

The Cosworth passenger wasn´t wearing a harness and was thrown clear of the car at possibly 150 mph+
Required about 100 stitches... And I still wanna do the Gumball someday!

no kidding! very scary stuff. out of habit i find myself clicking the belt secure before i even turn the key. i guess the setbelt thing just ingrained itself from the very beginning. I find myself yelling at my wife everytime we get in the car. she just doesn't get it.

I remember when I was a kid I always saw these ads on TV for seatbelts and stuff and it just seems that everyone I know puts it on religiously.
Although I haven't sat in enough cars in the US to make a final judgement, it seemed that every car in the US I sat in, the driver didn't buckle up. Could it be a cultural thing?

highly amusing!! i lived in Morocco, the roads are fun but you have to underdrive if you cant see, and you dont want to crash, they'll push your car over the cliff to get it out of sight... and Moroccan medical care is just what you imagine.....
