This goes along with a busted up Carrera GT and a Porsche GT2 that crashed into a VW outside Skopje killing the VW driving and critically injuring his passenger. The event was subsequently canceled. That's what happens when you get 100+ cars driving like maniacs in poor conditions. Jail, lawsuits, and worst of all death...what a mess.

The GT is supposedly owned by someone from Dubai.

It is very sad to see crashes, injuries and death like this. I remember there is a forum member, "redwhitestripes", with a red GT that lived in Dubai. He posted some videos of him driving on the track in Dubai. Highly likely it is the same person. I hope he is ok in all respects, physically, mentally and legally.
