Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason crashes multi-million dollar McLaren F1 GTR

Quote:

Mason twirled the red McLaren into a rubber-wrapped tire barrier, which bounced it back toward the track with damage to the nose that doesn't look too terrible, but the repair bill for the carbon-fiber car may say otherwise as it could be worth $15 million or more today.

Based on what was then the fastest car in the world, with at top speed of over 240 mph, just 28 F1 GTRs were built for racing and only a handful were later made road legal by McLaren.

Just because the car might be worth 15 million doesn't mean the repair will be that much. Those guys have rebuilt cars that had much, much more damage than a simple impact with a tire barrier.

The fact that he's driving a car with that value, especially on a track, is what is shocking. The repair will be a nice condo in LA.

Some of the guys who fly vintage aircraft face the same thing. They may own the only version of some rare WWII plane. Do they park it in a museum, or do they put it in the air, where it belongs and where thousands can watch it fly?

I always appreciate the guys who keep them flying.

On a related note, son was at the COTA in Austin last weekend. Some guy was running a 1960s F1 Ferrari V-12. Awesome
