An official of F1's governing body FIA on Thursday had a high speed crash at the wheel of a contemporary Grand Prix car.On the occasion of Renault's 'roadshow' event in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates' automobile club President Mohammed bin Sulayem - also FIA Vice President for sport - shunted last year's R28.
On the main straight of the Dubai Autodrome, the car swung to the right under power and struck the concrete barrier, necessitating a visit for the 14-time Middle East rally champion to the medical centre.
Earlier, bin Sulayem had successfully driven the car on a closed road.
"Fortunately he was uninjured and the car will be taken back to be repaired," said a Renault spokesman.
In Dubai for the roadshow event is Nelson Piquet.
