F399 wrote off at Laguna Seca - 20th August 18:58pm GMT

On August the 15th a rare collection of Ferrari Formula One cars took to the Laguna Seca
raceway track which was part of the 'Rolex Monterery Historic Automobile Races'. Over
100 Ferrari's took to the track over the weekend including a display of the F2003 GA
driven by Andrea Bertolini. View Video Clip Here

2pm came and a collection of the modern Ferrari F1 cars took the track (1993-1999) driven by some very lucky rich owners from all around the world who use the invitation to gain some experience of the car that they invested so much money into. On display was an ex Michael Schumacher F399 which was driven by a driver named Kroymans. I don't have many details on him but I believe he is a Dutch Ferrari dealership owner. Here is a video of him doing a couple of laps in his car - Download here

Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan soon after that video was taken as he lost
control of the car at turn 6 and hit the barriers before bouncing back into the track. The car seems to be a right off but because of the nature that the car has been destroyed,
the car has been shipped back to Maranello.

If you take a look at the photo your see that from the cockpit area its almost had a complete cut through the chassis like a knife which shouldn't happen to an F1 car. Ferrari
soon after the incident asked for the car to be returned back to Maranello for a structural
analysis to determine what caused the car to breakup in the way that it did. When the results have been decided then the car will unfortunatly be crushed as its a right off.

Kroymans escaped without any injuries and walked away from the accident which is amazing considering the damaged caused and so close to his legs.
