It was Sunday morning at the Ferrari Racing Days at Laguna Seca, and the Corse Clienti cars were out on track when corners workers began waving the black flag to bring all the drivers into the pits. Everyone came in, save for one of the three FXXs.

Moments later, we confirmed our fears: the driver had gone off track at the Corkscrew and stuffed the nose of the FXX into the tire wall.

We don't know exactly what went wrong, but fortunately, the damage to the car seemed fairly minor and not serious enough to have hurt the driver. For the most part, it looked like the car will just need new front bodywork, and we wouldn't be surprised if it was ready in time for its next scheduled outing next month in Montreal.

Looks like the damage is not that bad.

pretty sure the front end will need to be replaced. You can see how the nose doesnt line up with the rocker panels anymore. The lack of damage is a testament to the strength of carbon fiber

This.

At least he was having fun and driving the car like it was built for.

Why do these blogs report crashes as news at a track? Its a track, if you don't crash a few times you ain't pushing it.

Glad he is okay.

thumbs up for super stiff chassis and carbon fiber...

The FXX can only be driven on a Ferrari-sponsored track day, so the news is basically that an FXX crashed.

wonder how much that "minor damage" would be to fix....$$$$ ????
