I can only count 7 supercars...unless that police car is one:D

All the cars involved, which included a Ferrari California, Porsche 911 Carrera and two BMW M3’s, were written off except for one. The estimated cost of the crash is around €150,000.

Sounds a bit underestimated..


Also, I think I lost a few points off my IQ reading that joe.ie site

I newer knew BMW m3 is a super car....

7 super cars written off at a cost of €150000? Never knew an average supercar cost €21k!

Did anybody see the leadup to the crash? Not suprised there was a big pile up. They had one sign on the way into a quick corner to say they were doing road works. .

Chatter on PH is saying this could be one of the leading causes road works signs in the wrong place.

Complete amateur hour stuff on a track where an average of 7/10die a year (and thats just the people that die on the track doesnt count the people that die in hospital).

7 out of 10 people die on the track? Don't like those odds!
