Czech Police Arrest 51-Year-Old Linked to Ferrari-Liveried Race Car on Public Roads

A social-media clip of the car on the D4 enabled officers to track it to a property in Buk.

Overview

  • Officers traced the single-seater from a witness video on the D4, then detained the driver at a property in Buk near Prague.
  • The vehicle carried Ferrari logos but is reported as a Dallara GP2/08 used in GP2/F2 competition.
  • Alcohol and drug tests on the 51-year-old were negative, and he declined to answer questions at the station.
  • Police say he could face a substantial fine and loss of his driving licence for operating a non-homologated race car on public roads.
  • The car had been filmed on Czech roads since 2019; the family says they bought it from a British team and accuses police of an excessive response.
