      Wonder what happened as it exploded and burned. NOS? Carbon should not burn that easily, right?
      Also read somewhere they hit a gas pipe or something?

                  The Driver lost control ( probably showing off ) and ploughed into a tree at speed. In the GT3 RS the fuel tank is at the front of the car - the impact would easily have caused the fire.

                    That makes sense then.

                      It was a Carrera GT they crashed in, not a GT3 RS. Just getting the facts correct.

                          That's what I originally read too but the later posts / articles on Sunday were naming it as a GT3 RS so I assumed they'd got it wrong 1st time round ? Wheels are definitely Carerra wheels but that's never really an indication these days. I need to stop trusting the press so much xD
