"Next to Empresa da Eletricidade da Madeira there is a small bump we were not able to notice in the reconnaissance. The front part of the Porsche is very light, the wheels lifted and I lost control, and then unable to make the turn. I went straight into the sidewalk and hit it with a wheel. The damages are not heavy but there is always something that breaks...", explained the driver to RVM official site.
