Wrecked #2

Sorry this post is 5 days late, I've been very busy recently and haven't had time to post anything :-/ so here is the 'Wrecked' post that should have been posted on the 17th of February 2012.


This weeks wrecked post is a fairly well known crash as it was Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton's father, Anthony. The car that was unlucky enough to be involved was a grey Porsche Carrera GT that Anthony Hamilton didn't own, it was 'borrowed'. As you can see from the pictures the car is pretty badly beaten up and so is the hedge it went through!
You can read an article on this on the Daily Mail here.


The Porsche Carrera GT is an incredibly rare hyper car worth around £330,000 and only 1,270 exist in the world with 50 thought to be in the UK. With over 600bhp on tap and rear wheel drive the Carrera GT is a difficult enough car to control, but it gets more difficult, the clutch in the Carrera GT is very difficult to operate if you are inexperienced. It's a great shame that such an amazing car has lost it's life but fortunately no one was hurt.
