Ouch. This video is taken of a pit crew right as the car pulls into the pit. The crew runs up to the car to change the tires, polish the windshield, download the car data, and fill up the gas tank. Now the gas tank part is where they have the problem. The guy filling up the gas tank screws up and sprays gas all over the fall and everyone around it. Within two seconds the whole car is engulfed in flames (I guess the heat from the engine or something set it off). All of the pit crew guys jump back but the driver is still in the car. It looks like the crew comes back pretty quick with fire extinguishers though to save the driver.
Check out the huge gas spill on the race track in this video. Source: Fugly.com |
