This Racer Escaped His MX-5 Just As It Burst Into Flames
Scary moment today as my car caught on fire after a fuel leak. Lucky to walk away and most importantly I am okay, with only a few blisters. https://t.co/Q8MunMyuK2;— benwaddell
Skip Barber Formula Series regular Ben Waddell endured a terrifying moment while taking a break from single-seaters at the weekend.
He was driving what looks to be a Mazda MX-5 when the fuel tank burst, showering him in petrol. He immediately went off track and stopped, hurled the steering wheel away and got the hell out of there. Not a moment too soon it turned out, as the car burst into flames just as he was exiting.
Here is the after math along with the @GoPro from the fire yesterday! Very thankful to walking away with hardly any injuries!;— benwaddell
Although the car is - as you can see above - in a bad way, Waddell himself walked away with only a few blisters.
A lucky escape…

I’m glad you made it out alive! A lot of people don’t make it out on time!
LEAKED PICTURES OF THE AFTERMATH!
This makes me so sad. ;(
unbuckling yourself and opening a door may look easy but when all that adrenaline is pumping thru your veins i promise you its not.
Only took about 15 years to get out of the vehicle.
Hot damn!
