It looked like a scene written for the cinema: a red single-seater, painted in the colors of FerrariThe car, which had no plates or indicators, covered the miles on the D4, parked for a fill-up, then returned to the village, where a veritable swarm of police and a helicopter were waiting. Ten days after the first images were relayed by the media and networks, the Youtube channel TrackZone, linked to the presumed owner, published the full video of the arrest. And this time, the spectacle is nothing like a glamorous motorcade: it's a tense, surreal confrontation between a helmeted man and the forces of law and order.
The arrest that puts an end to six years on the run
The chronology is now clear: the single-seater had already been in the news several times since 2019 on this same route southwest of Prague, always filmed, always driven by a helmet with no face visible, and several viral videos kept the legend alive. On September 7, 2025, motorists again reported the single-seater stopping at a Shell station near Dobříš; the police mobilized patrols and a helicopter, followed the convoy to the village of Buk and intercepted it. The driver, a 51-year-old man, was finally identified and taken to the police station.
TrackZone video reveals all
The video published by TrackZone tells the story from a direct point of view: first we see the single-seater drive off in a motorcade, accompanied by a Ferrari F40 and a Lamborghini Murciélago. Then, on the way home, a companion warns: "There are police everywhere at the SHELL service station, literally everywhere. We see the convoy park and attempt to tow the single-seater using a Skoda that appears to belong to the driver's son; it's at this point that the police appear and the filmed exchange begins.
The dialogue alone sums up the whole affair:
- Police: "Hello sir, please step out of your vehicle..."
- Pilot: "I believe you're on private property, gentlemen."
- Police: "In the name of the law, the police order you to identify yourself, okay?"
- Pilot: "Do you have a search warrant? Leave this private property."
The pattern repeats itself for almost ten minutes: the pilot refuses to identify himself, claiming he has no warrant, while the police remind him of the suspected offence and the legality of their intervention. Finally, the pilot surrenders to the police.
F1, Dallara GPF1 2006 or Dallara GP2 2008?
On the technical side, several versions are circulating: the car, although dressed as a "Ferrari", is most probably not a modern F1. Some observers refer to a 2008 Dallara GP2 chassis with naturally-aspirated V8; the owner's son, in a previous video, refers to a "2006 Ferrari Dallara GPF1". Doubt feeds curiosity... and the audience.
The video quickly approached 300,000 views, with almost 3,000 comments. The dominant tone: mockery and indignation at the pilot's attitude, and respect for the police officers' patience. Many summed up the episode in one formula: "from hero to zero".
What happens to the driver?
The case has been referred to the administrative authorities: hefty fine(s), possible withdrawal of license, and immobilization of a vehicle neither approved nor insured. Previous video footage - including freeway sequences - could have a bearing on the assessment of the offences. Note: tests revealed no alcohol or drugs at the time of questioning.
