Video: Russian millionaire learns that money doesn’t buy you driving skills

Homelife

The Russian millionaire and race car enthusiast, Vadim Kogay, recently had a nightmare of an endurance race at Monza in Italy.

We all have ‘off days’ but Kogay had a SERIOUSLY bad day of racing in his bright green Ferrari 458 GT3 at the Blancpain Endurance Series race in the Pro-Am Cup recently. Kogay suffered multiple run offs into the gravel traps and he even managed to spin his car during a yellow flag caution. The Russian also proved to be a bit of a nuisance to the other drivers who eventually lapped the amateur racer and even the commentators get annoyed by the millionaire's driving style. It didn’t take long before Kogay’s supercar racer suffered damage, but he managed to get the $500,000 motor back to the pits for the driver swap over, so at least he has that going for him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4HSpx3aBq8 Hat tip to Andy & the lads at the Mayo Motorsport Club for sending this our way
