Was this a recent crash? I saw a similar one some time ago where a guy was racing his Lambo on a track then made too sharp of a turn and ended up crashing and totaling it. In any case, I feel for the owner... It always hurts to see a sweet ride end up like this.

He'll be laughing since auto policies, especially exotic policies do not cover racing, off road or timed events.

If this happened at a driver ed event, he may be covered. As a performance driving instructor for twenty-some years now, I've yet to hear of a crash at a driver ed event that wasn't covered by standard policies, although the carriers seem to be getting better and better at writing exclusions.

One can also purchase track event insurance for surprisingly reasonable rates that will insure to a percentage of an agreed-upon value.
