Fuel leaking from one of the cars appears to have been ignited by the heat of the Ford’s engine and torched both vehicles
The rivalry between the BMW E9 CSL and Ford Capri RS3100 in European Touring Car racing in the early 1970s provided some incredible on-track action for fans. But at a historic race even in Spain this month featuring the two coupes, the real excitement was in the pits when a fire broke out engulfing a CSL and Capri in flames. The accident happened last weekend at Spain’s Estoril circuit, during the Estoril Classics event.
As the cameraman wisely pulls back we see that there’s a huge area of asphalt next to the BMW that’s also ablaze, giving a clue as to how much fuel has escaped.
