DTM racer escapes with a fine

Had 'we' been caught at that speed....
Police have caught former Grand Prix winner Heinz-Harald Frentzen speeding - at a mind-blowing 210kph (130mph).

The German, whose motor racing career was recently rescued by DTM carmaker Audi, was clocked by a radar in Italy as he sped near the small town of Vallelunga after a test.

Reportedly, Frentzen told the police he was speeding home to be with his pregnant wife Tanja, and therefore escaped with only a $430 fine.

He was getting home to his pregnant wife but still not a good idea. I guess when you just left a testing session where you are driving at high speed it can be difficult to slow it down. It's not like he was in his tow vehicle.
