Carrera GT crash during Gumball.
Reports that a Carrera GT crashed Along with this Ford GT in Montenegro.
I'll hunt for pics and try to post them here.


I just hope there are enough CGTs left when i am finally able and ready to afford .
I'm starting to get concerned over here.


**edit**

This is the one in question, it has Florida plates.
Franklyn Duran is possibly the owner, anyone knows him?

Let's hope that this is a rumor. I have been researching the Gumball area and can't find any pictures or videos on you tube of a crashed CGT..

Rain seemed to be the factor.

happens every year.
Last year, it was a Phantom.
Some kid from Prague in the forums, even mentioned that he almost crashed against one of the Veyron trying to videotape it

This isn't the only thing that happened. The event has been cancelled after a couple of knuckleheads crashed into another vehicle killing the driver and seriously injuring the passenger. On top of that they tried to flee the scene and were caught at the border.

This is what happens when you get a bunch of idiots with no experience behind the wheel of too much car. It was bound to happen. Glad they cancelled it.

She has to report to detention on June 5th

Maybe she can fit the Bullrun in and just stay an extra few days to it off, if daddy doesn't get her off on appeal.
