Helsinki car on fire - Baltic Open 2007

[Kimmo Hirvonen]

If you have to DNF, DNF with style.
Our last year's car caught on fire in Baltic Open's enduro, a lap before finish. And what a fire it was:

Happily no one got hurt!

That's a couple of really action filled shots there Kimmo.

Wow... good thing no one got hurt.

Did you guys figure out what caused the fire?

This was my favorite car...Condolations

[Kimmo Hirvonen]

Thanks blister.
Our '06-car will do the phoenix birds and rise even stronger from the ashes. After all, now that a lot of parts were fried, they have to be a lot lighter and you know what that means-> faster lap times.
We still don't know for sure what caused that fire. All we know that it must've been an oil burn.

Oh... The car must have become so lighter!
Anyway, I hope no one got hurt.
