‘Phantom’ racing car driver finally arrested by Czech police after 6 years
No mention has been made of the speed involved. At 8.15 a.m. local time on Sunday, police were alerted to a racing car seen at a gas station near Dobříš, about 25 miles southwest of Prague.
A 51-year-old man, who tested negative for both drink and drugs, was identified behind the wheel, although his identity has not been made public. He was taken to a police station for questioning but refused to comment, police said.
The owner has been charged with driving a motor vehicle that is not in compliance with local traffic laws.
The police will now pass the case to the administrative body that will decide on the penalty. The offense carries a fine of 5,000 to 10,000 Czech koruna ($240-$480) and a driving ban of six months to a year.

Saw this on Facebook yesterday. So many quite incredible things about the story, not least that he was doing it for 6 years and that none of his neighbours dobbed him in during that time.
Imagine living in a country with good enough road surfaces and few enough speed bumps you could literally drive a race car on the road.

There are some things we can only dream of doing in life, this guy is living it and doing one of those things. A true hero.
I agree! The idea of someone just driving this thing around for that amount of time, clearly not done anyone any actual harm in that time. I can imagine kids seeing this go past and it putting a smile on their faces.

It would be great if he could just receive a warning - but I know that's being too soft and is not going to happen.
