Latest estimate around $3 million.

They were doing 95mph on a wet road going to an "Event" aka "car show".

Interestingly they only totalled German and Italian cars = part of the original Axis vs Allies.

On a happy note: All the kamakazi drivers survived with only a few bruises. They will be back to rid the world of 14 more super cars soon.

I blame the course designers. Clearly the proper lane was too close to the curbs and rails. :snicker:

The funny thing is that they're probably the sort who would never take their car to a race track for fear of damaging it.

I agree, but with that kinda cash, they could buy a track only beast! I probably would never be wiping cone marks off my Diablo, if i had one!
