Driver Dives To Escape Burning Exige At N-Ring 24HR!

EVO's Driver Roger Green was in for a big surprise while piloting the number 114 Lotus Exige at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race, when the engine suddenly bursted into flames in his second session.

“Before too long, the brakes were shot and the writer/driver was rolling along in his own unstoppable inferno. Green steered the car toward the barrier and did his best tuck and roll to escape the flames while everything was still in motion. As near as anyone can tell, a piece of debris from the track flew up and severed the rear brake lines. From there, it didn't take much to set everything alight. Green amazingly escaped the blaze without injury.”
