[DeTomaso] Sad day for a Norvegian owner

It`s not the first collector car who was wrecked on this track.
A couple of years ago the ex. Carlos Sains WRC Rally Escort was wrecked
there in a similar accident.
And the driver of that car was a very skilled race driver.

Amen!

That`s what everyone that takes a car on to a track should be awere of.

But some people seem to totaly loose their normal way of thinking secure 
when they role their vehicle on to a race track.

Again sad sad,

He`s fore sure not the first and even more sure not the last to do that 
mistake.
