Apparently the GTO was making a left turn just as a car following it was trying to pass it.  There is no word on the condition of the Ferrari which will without a doubt, be rebuilt.

The 3445 GTO, which was to take part in the "Le Mans Classique" is no stranger to accidents having crashed a number of times and rebuilt. It was once owned by Count Giovanni Volpi and over the years seen the likes of Nino Vaccarella, Chris Amon and David Piper behind its Nardi wheel.
