No clue about the driver/passenger though, didn't seem any serious injury was reported.

It happened in morocco and is what happens when you meet a farmer doing 20mph with his tractor/combine in a ferrari doing a lot more........no one was hurt and it was not the worst crash on the rally by a long way.....I know as I was there!!!!!!!!

A red Enzo crashed and retired in Spain on 7.05. Detail unknown

A yellow Enzo had a flat tire in Morocco on 07.05, and came as the last car to the last Checkpoint that day.

A Porsche GT3 blew his engine, and hit the rails. No further info

A Lamborghini had a fight with a truck, and lost -> crashed. No further info

A Dodge Viper is retired in Morocco. No addittional information at this time.

Reyland Cossie: Complete Write Off. Left the road and rolled 4 times. Speed is uncertain but going by the speeds they were travelling at previously I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing 150+. The passanger wasn't wearing his harness . Luckily he will be ok despite being thrown clear of the car. He need over 100 stitches. The driver is fine also.

That Escort Cossie belongs to Martin H and recently did 0-60 in 2.88 and 0-100 in 6.06 at Brunters.

Isn't this the same registration as a Ferrari 355 cab that crashed out on the Gumball a few years back ?

I watched this edition on TV yesterday. On of the guys commented on the numberplate and how spooky it was. Apparently this was L700ONY and the other was L100ONY.
