Speedy Racing Team Spyker on fire at Paul Ricard
The final session at Paul Ricard started at 14:00 on Monday, shortly after the teams had enjoyed their lunch. Shortly after the session had started it was the Van Merksteijn Motorsport Porsche RS Spyder that improved its lap time, bringing it to 1:43.820.
Just before half past two the session was red flagged though as the Speedy Spyker C8 Spyder GT2R caught fire in the last corner. Due to the strong wind the car was quickly completely engulfed in flames and completely destroyed. Andrea Chiesa managed to get out just before the cockpit was destroyed by the fire and returned to the pitlane shocked, but with only a black face from the smoke.
After the track was cleared and the wreck was taken away the session was restarted at exactly three o’clock…
Times will follow later.
