If they have the extended warranty it's covered. Other makes are not. Ask me how I know that. That's the attraction.
I personally believe the Subaru driver was over enthusiastic on the brakes. Hardly move the car left and drive around on power next time. I have seen Todd pass 10 cars in the grass there before coming back on track. If someone had been following the Subie closely they would have a Subaru hood ornament.

Fire systems are money well spent. Good luck getting that covered under warranty. Its tuff to warranty a pile of ashes.

Nick a 2.5lb extinguisher does a great job on an oil fire. Used mine in the paddock when a car came in on fire next to trailer.

My guess is the car didn't burn to the ground although if it did track insurance will cover the car. Manufacturers warranty will cover the failure unless mods were done. That's how the pile of ashes would be made a whole car again.

Tony then turned to me and said it was probably time for both of us to drop a few pounds. My last ride in the Turbo.
