A Czech car enthusiast has taken hooning to a new level on a freeway near Prague, driving a replica of a Michael Schumacher Grand Prix Ferrari in everyday traffic.
A daring Formula One fan has taken hooning to a new level in the Czech Republic by unleashing a Grand Prix replica that pays tribute to fallen hero Michael Schumacher.
Running without any of the remotest essentials for legal motoring — headlights, mufflers or treaded tyres — the driver ran the single-seater racer in everyday traffic on a stretch of the D4 freeway south of the capital city of Prague.
And it’s not the first time.
The same car was spotted on a similar piece of road during 2018 but frustrated police were not able to press charges.
A 45-year-old driver suspect was tracked down but could not be positively identified because they were wearing a helmet while driving the Grand Prix replica.
Now, despite potential penalties of several thousand dollars and a one-year-driving ban, the stunt has happened for a second time — with frustrated police again searching for the culprit and the Youtube accomplice who filmed the rogue race car on public roads.
Footage of the stunt was first shown on the Czech website idnes.cz under the headline ‘The infamous formula raced down the highway again’.
The car is not a real grand prix racer, although it is fairly convincing replica at first glance.
It looks to be inspired by the Ferrari F2004 used by Schumacher to win 15 out of 18 races in the 2004 Formula One world championship season.
Schumacher won seven world titles — five with Ferrari and two with Benetton — but has not been seen in public since he nearly died in a disastrous skiing accident in France in December of 2013.
