Anyone Got A Fire Extinguisher?

[Downforce]

Hardcore in-car footage from last month Victorian Sports Sedans Round 1 at Phillip Island... apparently a fuel line came loose.

Very upsetting watching his reaction.

Wow.

Lucky the cameras survived.

lol colourclassic.

I feel sorry for the driver.. must have been distressing to see the car on fire after all the work that goes in to building a race car. However, I would question how much attention was paid to safety during build as the firewall must have had a few holes in it to have flames in the cabin like that.

jeebus. holler for a marshall!

[SkudR33]

I think I cried. Twice.

another reason sports sedans should not be allowed near any track

A clamp, a clamp - my kingdom for a clamp!

[Touge Kyousou]

Ouch! =/

Have a 1/2kg one within reach even with race harness one but have lately been thinking it should be swapped to at least 1kg...

[Downforce]

Most L2S CAMS regulated events in Vic require minimum 1kg extinguisher. For a fire like the one shown in the video, 1kg wouldn't be enough... You would need one of the big bad boys carried on the fire response vehicle and just hope it doesn't take 50 seconds to arrive. lol
