That could have been so much worse Andy looking at where the fuel filler is.

not @ all, but had to open the door & let the smoke out so I could see where I was going.............only a few more seconds to the pit lane & the fire truck.
There was no way I was going to stop car on the track & let it burn while the marshalls lugged the extingushers to me.
This was real close to the petrol tank & filler
