Those fireforce boys know their stuff and the suit the driver wears is abot 30 times stronger than the ones F1 drivers wear

It must have been the Mustang replica bodyshell that jinxed it...

Kinda scary slow-motion, too.

Amazing how he got out O.K.

Not really all those funnycar fires loom worse from the outside but internal video normaly shows otherwise. In that car the driver sits to one side of the turbine from memory. Still not a nice thing to happen though.

On another note when did this happen as i see no info on either santapods site or the fireforce site about the accident?

Fireforce 2 & 3 seem to be identical cars . . . . yet one is 50mph faster then the other over 5 seconds . . . . ????
