.. Formula 1-type racing car..
That's generous. It's a Dallara GP2/08, apparently.
- To be fair that'll still leave virtually anything else on the road for dead. It's still a pretty serious racing machine
  
  Correct and doesn't take 5 computers and 4 technicians to start....
Police in the Czech Republic have finally arrested the driver of a Formula 1-type racing car which had been spotted on the motorway on numerous occasions since 2019.

Eventually he relented and agreed to be taken to a police station for questioning - still wearing his red racing driver's outfit and helmet.
Because the driver wore a helmet in the videos and photos, they could not be identified and police were unable to take the matter any further.
Regardless of its exact provenance the owner now faces a fine for driving a vehicle on the motorway without headlights, indicators or number plates, and could have his driving licence suspended.
Taking safety measures while being charged for safety violations is quite funny in this situation.
