As the french police reported today, singer and guitar player Eric Clapton was caught on tuesday with 216 kph on the highway No. 6 near Beaune (a famous wine region with the race track of Dijon not far away) in a Porsche 911. Speed limit there is 130 kph. Two motorbike cops stopped him, took away his driving licence and charged him 750 Euros. Clapton had to continue the ride as a passenger, his personal assistant (male) had to drive the car.

Slowhand as fastfoot - one more musician that loves fast cars (just as Chris Rea in former times or Phil Collins who was once in a driving training day at the french track Le Castellet where a friend of mine attended with his NSX and talked with Phil - very nice guy BTW).

Fast indeed.
Out of curiosity, what difference does it make about the sex of his assistant?

Just to clarify that it was not a female secretary as for instance Associated Press wrote - they translated the original news from Agence France Press wrong.

BTW: The speed record for a foreign driver in France is still held by Michael Schumacher - 236 kph
