My guess would be nitrous causing the engine to hydrolic and go bang causing fuel to escape and ignite

Man that driver showed a fair bit of pace! He was off and he wasn't coming back!

I can't believe how long it took them to do something, they didn't seem that prepared for a fire, which is worrying, lucky the guy had already got out!

Still pretty funny the first guy just getting sprayed by the second guy, the second guy wasn't too keen on getting close to the car was he?
