Not sure about the GT40 though.

Adrian Newey emerged unscathed from a sizeable crash at Le Mans over the weekend, while taking part in the Le Mans Classic event in a Ford GT40 which he owns. The Red Bull Racing chief technical officer reportedly went off at the second chicane but walked away unhurt from what was, by all accounts, a large accident.

Here's the car when it was being brought back. Amazing he got out unhurt considering the state it's in.

Yeah cars like that never get written off, they always get put back together eventually...


Yep, new chassis, new body, new engine, new gearbox, new set of wheels, new drivers seat (old one got a bit stained). Good as new
