Heartbreaking. The brand new C6 Corvette caught on fire while I was drifting this past weekend at Hyperfest. Definitely one of the scariest moments I've ever had, and we're still processing it all.
Thank you to everyone who rushed in to help me and fight the fire.

For safety equipment they only specify to have a roll cage, seat belts or harness, snell SA2010 spec helmet, and a covered battery inside cockpit, which in my opinion is pretty slim for safety. No fire suit mandate, or even fire extinguishers. While crappy, and dangerous situation - I would have more than a 30 dollar fire extinguisher in my ~$100k drift car and would be wearing a full suit no matter how hot it was.

DAMN sorry for your loss! driving was epic! Its crazy they let you drift without proper race overalls etc Here in NZ fireproof overalls are mandatory and people trackside have massive fire extinguishers Very lucky you didnt get Burnt legs. Hope you rebuild and come back positive. Definitely buy some protective clothing though!

Glad you're safe and surrounded by an amazing crew to help you. Make sure you get properly checked out - breathing in that smoke can cause major long-term issues even if you feel fine right now.

Stay positive and know we'll keep supporting you along the way.

Yeah, let's keep hoping they get out in time that fix it. We have been doing track fire safety for 60 years, and THESE people haven't figured it out. What a joke. This event should be shut down until they figure out how to properly run a safe event. This was nothing less than luck. If her latch got stuck, we would be planning funerals. Disgusting.

Looking back at the build video, looks like most of the holes in firewall are blanked off, even the holes made to front mount transmission have cover plates, so be interested to see how fire got into cabin so quickly. This video from the car build shows block off plates: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ran5SQa6-DsKc

This proves that the firewall and other peices is in no way been sealed up correctly, having the fire make it's way into the cabin.... defeats the whole purpose of a firewall if it just lets it through....

That's a scary moment there Collete! Glad to see you got out of it ok ;-) I do have to say, I think firesuits should be mandatory at these events. You see so many people not wearing them. I know you usually do, but yeah...wrong call, that luckily didn't make this worse. I'd like to see more ("capable") marshalls, with appropriate firefighting equipment, track side as well. But again...happy to see you're alright ;-)

@@Tom-xn7zc first thing I picked too. Super sad that the car was lost and the mental and emotional side of the build and losing it, but so much could be picked from the video. Unsealed fire wall, the clothing she was wearing - in AUS the CAMs ruling is full length cotton - i am slightly guessing she would of definitely had hot ankles, the mount for the fire extinguisher itself, the fire marshalling, and the guy who ran across from her drivers side not signalling there's a fireball straight underneath the car while she's trying to get out. Can see why they have to go through much training to become track officials/ERT members. Hopefully the comp can pick up from this and move forward for the future of safety to the drivers.
