Repairs to a supercar damaged when a test drive went wrong near Aberdeen are set to cost an insurance firm £300,000.

The Pagani Zonda S, which would cost more than £500,000 to buy, was involved in a crash last September.

 :rolleyes: :rolleyes: No wonder, would you test drive a Zonda along a road like this :question: :question:



Keep moving forward and you will see the chicane in the road as you pass the farm on the right hand side after you have gone round the left bend and two right hand bends.

It's actually similar to a lot of roads used in Targa Tasmania  :D  (Google street view is great for things like this) Thanks for posting the links...

According to further reports during the day, Sir Jackie has denied it had anything to do with him and that he was not even in the country at the time of the accident. 

The hunt is on to find out who it was, all the owner has said is that "it is a household name from the world of racing" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

(PS I am beginning to wonder if it is a jockey or motorcycle racer since he did not explicitly state F1)

I think the article has been pulled because it contains potentially libelous material. Was quite funny though while it was up :lol:

Google's cache of the page was also too late to grab it. The article said Sir Jackie Stewart was the driver.

Sir J S - Well I can see why it was pulled specially given his pedigree
