Overview

  • Officers say they stopped the vehicle in Buk within minutes of reports of it speeding on the D4 and later arrested a 51-year-old at his home.
  • Police posted the stop on X and said breath and drug tests were negative, with the driver refusing to comment during questioning.
  • Authorities say the open‑wheel car lacks required road equipment for public roads, exposing the driver to fines and a licence suspension.
  • Though widely described as a Ferrari, prior reporting identifies the vehicle as a Dallara GP2/08 from a Formula feeder series.
  • Video shows the man arguing with officers at his property as his son denounced the police response and linked the car to their TrackZone channel.
