The wing seems to be alright, do we get to bid or what?

I don’t think that’s how the term “internal combustion” is supposed to go…..

He got minor burns in the hands, legs, and arms, and a moderate burn in the nose area, for those who want to know

Thanks to lots of safety equipment, wonder if he would have walked away if he had “normal” clothes.

I have watched south american championships, and cars are super fragile and by my oppinion super unsafe, this has just proved my theory, and I have seen a flame from engine bay from a passenger seat and it was scary as hell but this is just horrific!!
