GM Development Chief Crashes Corvette ZR1 Pace Car At IndyCar Race
Well, this is a little awkward, isn’t it? Mark Reuss - product development head for General Motors - managed to punt a Corvette ZR1 pace car into a wall at the Detroit Grand Prix, just before round 2 of the IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix.
Reuss lost control of the 755bhp V8 monster after hitting one of the street circuit’s notorious bumps, pitching it into a barrier with enough force to set off the airbags and leave the front-end of the car in a rather sorry state. Reuss - who has been on pace car duties at Detroit numerous times before - was thankfully uninjured in the crash, as was passenger Mark Sandy.
Following the accident, GM fielded a back-up ZR1 with Spanish IndyCar driver Oriol Servià at the wheel. The race itself was eventually won by Ryan Hunter-Reay, ahead of championship leader Will Power.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I thought that’s why they didn’t use mustangs?
See? this is why Autopilot is so dangerous, they need to either change its name or get rid of it.
That’s why you want a racing driver into a safety car. An other thing to learn from F1 for you, other side of the Atlantic people
