because Diablo hates this bastard child from Audi so they set them on fire.

holy crap, how does it burst into flames immediately like that?

Raid3n 05-24-2010 12:28 PM
cause i think the gas tank is in the nose section.

Will this be covered by the Lambo recall?

tofu1413 05-24-2010 04:17 PM
typical italian cars.. reflect the way they are built: it bursted in flames in a firey ball of flaming passion.

The quote in my OP was the last statement issued about him by the race reps, and that was yesterday

What recall? Thats the way they are intended to crash. Look at how many lambos catch fire after a crash, if they airbags went off probally more than 50% of them burst into flames.

Bartocci floundered outside the vehicle ( his racing harness failed) as it rolled to a stop engulfed in flames.

What followed next was a sickening minute during which Bartocci is left burning with half his body in the car, whilst marshals and safety personnel pointlessly sprayed seemingly underpowered fire extinguishers at the pavement instead of the car.

Retrieving Bartocci from his burning Gallardo seemed to be the last priority of the Brno track personnel as he was finally rescued by his own team, who sprinted over from the pitlane.

Bartocci is currently in intensive care with fractured ribs, a broken leg and second-degree burns over 40% of his body.

so half his body is burned (the half that was left in the car i assume)
he's ranked 4th in the standings for super trofeo :(

maybe i've lurked too much on exotic car wreck forum sites, but wouldn't the above statement apply to most other supercars? all that aluminum, magnesium, carbon fibre and other exotic materials that goes into those cars would also go up like a roman candle if they catch fire and burn:o
