The driver of a mysterious Ferrari-like Formula 2 racecar was caught by Czech police six years after the car’s presence on the country’s motorways was first reported by motorists.

In 2019, Czech police started receiving reports about a red Formula 1 racecar speeding on motorways. The vehicle was caught on surveillance cameras and authorities were even able to track down the suspect, but because the driver was always wearing a visor helmet, he was impossible to identify, so the case against them was dropped. For the next six years, the legend of the phantom racecar driver only grew in the central European country, and police struggled to identify them. Lady Luck finally smiled upon them last Sunday, when the red racecar was spotted at a gas station near Dobříš, about 25 miles southwest of Prague. Police managed to follow the phantom driver to a property in the village of Buk, 37 miles from the Czech capital.
