Default American Le Mans - Gigliotti vette in flames
Was just watching the american le mans, and a couple minutes before the end of the race the Gigliotti car caught fire on the track. You could see flames in the car before the driver was able to stop and get out. Driver walked away thankfully, but this was crazy. Anyone else see this?

Pretty sure it was the other driver, Boris. It was a crazy video clip seeing the car driving down the track with flames inside the car.
