Overview
- Officers followed tips about a recent sighting on the D4, tracked the car to a property in Buk, and arrested a 51-year-old man after years of reported appearances since 2019.
- The vehicle is reported to be a Dallara GP2/08 painted in Ferrari livery rather than a genuine Formula 1 car, according to the driver’s son and Czech outlet auto.cz.
- Breathalyzer and drug tests on the suspect were negative, and he refused to give a statement during questioning.
- Police say driving such single-seater race cars on public roads is illegal because they lack required equipment like license plates, headlights and indicators.
- The family, which posted road videos on a YouTube channel, accuses police of an overly aggressive intervention carried out on private property.
