Pictures of the burning KSM #39 Lola Mazda needed
Hi all,
as some of you may remember, in the 23rd hour of the race the KSM Lola #39 came to a halt at the beginning of the pitlane and started burning there. The KSM team urgently needs pictures or videos showing the burning car, the marshalls efforts to extinguish the fire or other details of this incident. Please mail it to webmaster@kruse-schiller-motorsport.com - Your help is highly appreciated. Cheers Werner |

I have a photo of the aftermath of the fire if that would be of any help.

Ask Le Mans for video footage? It appeared on the big screens, so they should have it on tape? It did seem that there was more than one attempt to put the fire out, and it kept flaring back up until a full powder extinguisher was put on it.
But as I say, I was seeing this on screen, and not paying full attention. |

Let me just add at this point that as one of the many marshals at Le Mans, most of are a bit wary of getting too close to a fire given that the whites we are told to wear are just (polyester&?)cotton. ie not flameproof at all
As opposed to the Proban or Nomex that we all wear the rest of the season at any other racetrack in Europe. So if you're looking for somebody to reimburse your fire damage... |
