Ferrari 250 GTO engine blows its V12 in Goodwood race, small fireball ensues. Ex-F1 driver Karun Chandhok was at the wheel, no one was hurt.
F1's analyst crew, Karun Chandhok, to drive the car in Saturday's Lavant Cup race. On lap 10, as Chandhok rounded the final corner onto the front straight, the 250's tail began to swing around in a cloud of white smoke, then a fireball erupted under the car. He said,"coming out of Lavant onto the straight — I was in second and cruising — I heard a bang and the back wheels locked up.
The malfunction first caused the cloud of white smoke, shortly after which oil running onto the hot engine lit up a great ball of fire and then caused Chandhok to spin when the rear tires hit the slick. As he spun and got the vintage racer off the track without any other incident, more white puffs appeared when the GTO's fire extinguisher system kicked on to put out the fire.
