VIDEO: Zwart met gouden Lotus-bolide in de as gelegd na brand

Door Wim Boekel14 oktober 2014 · 18:39 uur1 min lezen

De World Endurance Championship race in Shanghai gaat Christophe Bouchut nog lang in het geheugen blijven. De Fransman reed met zijn Lotus-AER P1/01 richting het rechte stuk toen hij de aanwezigheid van rook in de cockpit constateerde. Waarna het oude gezegde “Waar rook is, is vuur” wel heel letterlijk werd voor Christophe Bouchut.

De vlammen kwamen namelijk ook de auto in, waarna de Lotus-coureur de auto in de pitstraat parkeerde. De Fransman kon met kleine brandwonden uit de auto stappen, omdat hij zo verstandig was om het vizier van zijn helm te sluiten. De Lotus-bolide liep echter zware schade op.
