We sadly have to report that our 2009 car took fire in yesterdays testing session during an endurance simulation.
Thankfully nobody was harmed as the driver was able to eject rapidly from the car.
Although the fire was stopped quickly thanks to a fast reaction of our safety team the delta was damaged in several areas.
The whole team is now working very had to ensure a start in Hockenheim at FSG.
Keep your fingers crossed that we'll make it!
The suffered setback is even harder to cope with as the car was blisteringly fast during the whole week.
The official statement with a photograph can be seen here:
