Judging from the way the track worker slip right up and over the hood and the side of the windshield, I must say the F50's aerodynamic styling worked beautifully!

Unfortunately it didn't generate enough downforce over the front tires at that speed to keep it from plowing into the guy.

I also seen him turn full cirlce to the right with nothing happening....thats got to be the worst feeling in the world...i could imagine the guys face as the car was not moving in the direction he wanted it to.
 
This has been discussed on the Ferrari Board. Apparently this is an old video, taken when the F50 was actually being debuted. Rumor has it the guy driving the car was actually a journalist. Think he'd be a little nervous given that he just damaged a $650,000 vehicle.

(Recall the $650K was just the MSRP of the vehicle -- these bad boys were selling for well over a $1 million when they were first introduced).

Regards.

Actually they were leasing for MSRP to those who met the pre-requisite and were invited to purchase through a conditional lease term when they were new. The million $ selling didn't start for some time after those intial lease periods were bought out.

Seeing that brings tears and anger to my heart man...so painful to see it coming.
