I remember that. Gotta be one of the scariest things to happen in a race... has happened a few times since then - with the fuel line not making a good connection, drip onto a hot engine and BOOM!
Can't wait for this weekends racing, Hamilton set the fastest time today in practice0 -
Take a look closely at 34 to 37 secs at the left hand side of the screen - is a bloke running into the garage stilll on fire!
Yep, should be a good weekend of racing, things being mixed up again.0 -
I know its crazy... how something can be fire resistant is beyond me.
now this is crazy motorsport.

So aerodynamically perfect that just a little lip in the road completely throws it up in the air!0 -

(Poor quality video, goes into some sort of slideshow after the first few seconds!)
This happened a few weeks ago in the British Universities Karting Championship. Fuel cap wasn't on properly and some petrol spilled onto the hot exhaust.
Poor guy was wearing a nomex suit but it was a hot day and he had the sleeves rolled up! Second degree burns to arms and ankles but apparently is ok."The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

Bugger me!! thats pretty nasty!
when I was in 6th form, one of the "roy bacers" lost control of his car along a raised single track road by my house.
One of the kids in the back had his phone camera on and filmed all 5 rolls and his broken leg from inside the car... was nasty.0
