A multi-millionaire now has video evidence of his driving deficiencies following his performance during a race at the famous Monza track. The man struggled to control the high performance Ferrari, as he slid off the circuit and into the gravel traps placed on the curves for safety. At one point, the man came close to colliding with another racer as he rejoined the race, following one foray off the track. Fortunately for everyone concerned, the car eventually sustained damage from the gravel and this resulted in tyre failure, so the driver had to slowly limp his vehicle back into the pits and retire from the race. The sports commentators however were unable to retrain their mirth at the man’s plight, suggesting he take up off-road racing or go-karting instead.

The woman rider ran forward from her motorcycle, gesturing at vehicles to stop so as to prevent the ginger kitten from being run over. The woman handed the kitten to a passerby before returning to her motorcycle and moving it to the side of the intersection. She then collected the animal and has since taken it home, renaming it Skidmarks.

    An Austrian artist named Hannes Langeder has designed and built a pedal-powered supercar, which he calls the Fahrradi Farfalla FX. The man previously built what he described as the world’s slowest Porsche, another pedal-powered creation. Designed to be pedalled by two, his new vehicle’s styling has been influenced by various Ferrari models and features gull wing type doors. A connection from the rear axle can make the doors flap while the vehicle is in motion, which helps cool the interior. The artist claim
