Young Boy Dies in F50 Crash

I know Newlyns farm - I shop there sometimes, and I know the access road they mean. I'm very surprised that anybody would drive down that road in any kind of car at a speed that would cause fatality and serious injury.

I sympathise with the family.
 
Terrible and awful news. Teenager and driver not related ( according to news ) ..... cant begin to imagine the pain the lads family will be feeling.

The access road leads to / from a "luxury car storage facility" ( according to news again ).
 
Yes I've been to the storage facility. It's basically a narrow lane with fences on either side, anything other than crawling speed along there would be reckless. I have no idea what the driver could have been doing in such a confined space. Very sad for the family of the young boy indeed.

Apparently the owner of the facility. A visiting kid says can I sit in that red car and the storage owner kindly says I will do one better and take you out. A minute up the road the crash happens,so close that his mother was apparently able to be there to resuscitate him. We have all done the first part.

It should remind us all to remember to drive within our abilities and the conditions but especially when we take children for a quick ride and want them to introduce them to and experience the magic that is Ferrari.

Very sad story.

Oh s**t, that is so awful to hear. The photos I saw of the "road" seem to show it is basically a gravel track ...... a bit of right pedal noise, lose the back end, and in a split second change the lives of so many in an irreparable way. A reminder to us all indeed.
 
The article suggests (or leaves us to) that the 37 year old man in the car could be the 37 year old man whom owns the facility.
 
So assuming they weren't wearing seatbelts, which the article infers to an extent, what sort of speed would you need to be doing to have this end result? The fence doesn't look that sturdy - not like a brick wall, say.

Madness in any case

Very sad , before the story broke i had a journalist/reporter on the phone to me trying to prise information out of me (as he had seen i i have one , didn't know i have 2 :laugh:) , suffice to say he got no information or help from me :mad:
 
I still struggle to see how there can be any other than one outcome to this.

I can't imagine Matt has it easy now, but that poor child & family, not to mention the owner of the car.

Still, busy I see......
