In case, you’re still wondering what type of car president managed to crash, I have the answer. It was racing version of latest Seat Leon TDi.
Slovak President Crashes Race Car
Written By: Chris Paukert
Hearing about a celebrity cracking up his or her car is nothing new. With the advent of the paparazzi and 24-hour news networks, it borders on a daily occurrence. Usually it’s some sports figure or Hollywood child star that gets pegged for a DUI or some other act of stupidity.
But word that Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic has just crashed a race car strikes us as something altogether different. Gasparovic was taking part in a “test drive” in front of the Slovakia Grand Prix when he had his off-track excursion. The 65-year-old was not injured.
Interestingly, Gasparovic has reportedly been racing for around 30 years, and has continued to do so despite being elected to office back in 2004. Sounds like our type of politician.
It was not immediately clear what type of race car Gasparovic was driving at the time of the incident.
