Was the fuel pipe, leaking or something.

The fuek rail caem loose causing a small fire...

He was chucking water all in his dash all over the stack and everything

All the dash was still smouldering so the buckets of water came out

He wasn't really bothered from what he was saying to me as the engine wasn't damaged

Had a small duck pond on the footwells though

small fire?

looked huge from where i was stood about 20 yards away - he pulled up, there was a huge waft of fuel, the floor caught fire and then the vapour round the bonnet area caught and then the fire people took at least 20 seconds to even notice before getting an extinguisher in there

It was UNREAL!!!!!!!!

I think he was black flagged for some reason??Then pulled into the pits,and it just WENT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a poxy little fire either,i mean it FUCKIN WENT UP!!!!!!!!!!!

But the worst bit was NO ONE AT ALL Helped him,they just stood there FUCKIN WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of a world do we live in,where peeps find it amusing to watch a guys pride and joy burn with him still in it!!!!!!!!!!!

shit no way!

said to the girlfriend that i wish i had of seen it on track as i saw it being towed away, didnt look like it had been on fire tho leaving, paint etc still looked fine!

cant see how fellow enthusiasts can just stand there! i know i couldnt! would like someone to do the same for me should anything like that happen!

i know im getting a decent fire extinguiser i mine after the wheel bearing went and smoke was comming from inside engine bay after tyre locked, didnt look like tyre smoke at time tho and my heart suck in anticipation! cant imagion how he would have felt tho actually having a fire!

glad to hear its going to bigger and better tho!
