A Lucky Escape At Lydden Hill
An amazing escape for track owner Pat Doran as his restored Ford RS200 bursts spontaneously into flames during a Retro Rallycross/Group B invitation race on the first day of the Autosport World Rallycross Meeting, Saturday 24 May 2014. Comment on the incident - Are the older Group B vehicles equipped with sufficient fire suppression systems to allow them to competitively race as here? Flames some of the fiercest I've seen in some 30yrs of attending motorsport events and the Marshals' first response extinguishers seemed powerless.
