RedM Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Jason Plato goes into round 30 with a one point lead and his hands all bandaged up! Fabrizio Gianthingummy is in second and has one the first two rounds today. Next race at about 3:30 live on ITV. Nail-biting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Read this the other day While filming for Fifth Gear, the Caparo T1 Jason was driving at 150 MPH burst into flames, giving him burns on his hands, face, and neck. Word is the burns are minor and he should be okay as he plans to race in the BTCC this weekend. “We were testing the Caparo T1 for Fifth Gear and we took it to Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, a private testing facility, which is common practice. “There was a slight loss of power, I looked in the mirror and saw some smoke, there was a slight smell of oil and then suddenly there was this intense heat. The car spontaneously erupted into a ball of flame and I was sat in the middle of a fireball. I hit the brakes, brought the car to a stop as quickly as I could and jumped out.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Wonder if they will show that.... perhaps they are doing the same with the Caparo T1 as they did with topgear's prop storage (as in the words of Jez clark) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
