From that description it sounds like Page Stevens or one his sons. I believe all could be considered accomplished drivers with lots of track time. If it is Mr. Stevens, I think he still has a spare CGT in a different shade of grey.

Portland car
even the best drivers sometimes "lose it"... as I understand it the owner is a "good driver" just made a mistake.
Posting pics of this is pointless -- the car came to a stop upside down... so the math is pretty easy so to speak.
From what I understand these cars are easily totalled by insurance companies because the cost to repair is "not worth it"... I would imagine that the insurance company will have no trouble selling the wrecked car to someone to part out.
sad to lose another one... one wrecked beyond repair at pacific raceways about a month ago (canadian car)... so that is 2 in the NW in a month.
everyone walked away and 2 x CGT RIP

From what you guys have said if the guy owns a few high end cars I really doubt a 100k or so means anything to him and that's 99% most likely not the case. Sounds like someone forgot about the 600hp for a bit and no more cgt

Hopefully it wasn't this one that was totaled.

PJ it depends on your insurance company. My insurance company has stated value on my high end cars. My old cars are through Hagerty and that is completely a stated Value company. Some people use Hagerty or Chubb another high end insurance company exclusive. Stated value through my main insurance company is not a normal thing. The Broker/Adjuster has my policy going a little different because of the quantity of cars. I totally agree someone could ditch one of these cars for the cash out rather then suck it up and realize they are worth over 100-150k less then they paid. That's a shame and it's happening a lot right now in the Yacht world. Stories of 50' and 60' suddenly drifting out to sea are on the rise for sure.

Yeah I do not think the owner was participating in any funny business...just pointing out that he could get paid for the headache if he has a stated value policy since the market is a bit down..

I think that is one of Mr. Stevens' very fast rally cars, a Renault. 0-60 in something less than 3 seconds. This guy has a very extensive car collection, which he had a showing for the Portland BMW ACA club a couple of years back.

I'm glad to hear that the driver is doing OK.
Anyone that disables traction control on a CGT has high-carbon steel *****.

Yeah I was being sarcastic, that car looks amazingly fun.

That's what I was thinking as well. The guy is quite an amazing driver really, I've spoken to a few people that have ridden in his Enzo while he drove it at PIR and they said he really takes it to the limit. I've seen him occasionally on the roads around here, always in a different exotic. I used to live about 2 miles from him in Wilsonville. Although I've heard he likes to keep a very low profile and rarely invites the public to see his collection unless he personally knows you or one of his friends can vouch for you.
I don't think he likes when people judge him by his cars and everyone seems much more friendly to you once they know you have money. It's too bad about the CGT... but then again it's much better that he is okay. He has a second one anyways so I guess it ain't so bad
