That is sad.. but it probably could have been avoided if he drove it more often

“It hadn’t been driven in six months,” said John Lantz, Rincon Valley assistant fire chief. “They took it out yesterday and today and started having some kind of problem with it,” Lantz said he was told by Kessler.

It is pretty sad, yet intriguing. I am anxious to hear what actually happened.

I saw that.. I really want to know what happened too! I don't believe a tire would blow out at 40 mph.

Well, some good news. It's headed back to England for repairs.

The McLaren Customer Care program that was set up for F1 customers is capable of rebuilding it - I am sure of that. Most of the items on the F1 were bespoke parts created by McLaren or by their F1 suppliers. The car was designed so that each component would be replaceable. BMW Motorsports have the ability to make a new engine block if necessary. . .

Link to article stating it will be taken back to the UK for repairs.

they changed the value and insured amount in this article...

"Kessler said Friday the car was insured at $2 million, instead of the $3 million originally reported. His insurance agent was not immediately available Friday evening.

Keld Christenson, service manager at Canepa Design, said the car could be worth more than $3 million."

unless it has under 1k miles on it, no way its worth more than 2million, if that.
they seem to be around 1.5, more if its brand new like one that went for like 3 millions a few months back

maybe someones playing games here?
