They can put the fire out by driving it into a canal!

That'd require reverse gear....and no brake pads.

I feel that I have seen a disproportionate amount of older porsche catch on fire.

Earlier this week, I saw a guy back in the motherland wreck a GT3. Definitely is a rough week.

Who needs brakes when you have downforce?

Thankfully they were able to put it out quickly and no one got hurt. I've exhibited at the auto show for several years and it is always very safe and well planned. Total shocked when I saw the video.
