"EIGHT Brits were arrested after racing at up to 170mph on a German motorway during a Gumball-style rally. Cops said four of the maniacs were high on either sugar, cannabis or speed as they drove brand-new £120,000 sports cars including a Ferrari 360, Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche Turbo.
They were caught on video weaving in and out of traffic and overtaking on hard-shoulders. A helicopter followed for 50 miles as patrol cars could not keep up.
But they were surrounded by 15 police cars as they stopped to fill up with petrol near Nuremberg.
The men - from London and aged in their 20s or early 30s - were charged with dangerous driving. All were kept in cells overnight and fined up to £2,000 each before being released on Monday.
One said: "We pbutted about six unmarked police cars but they couldn't keep up. We just got a bit carried away."
Another boasted he had organised the 3,000-mile race after finding the rival Gumball rally "not as posh as it was supposed to be".
Four other racers escaped. Each paid £5,000 per car to race through 13 countries over eight days, staying in five-star hotels along the way. They brought three women models and three cameramen with them.
