Two drivers are facing charges after the pair were caught ‘racing’ high-end vehicles on Wayne Gretzky Parkway in Brantford on Monday night, according to Brantford police.
Investigators say the cars were trying to overtake each other at speeds estimated to be between 150 and 200 km/h — about 80 to 130 km/h over the speed limit, which is set at 70.
The two men were eventually stopped by officers around 8:30 p.m. on the parkway at the Highway 403 off ramp.
One was driving a Lamborghini and the other a Tesla branded vehicle.
