Yes you are right!! Havent seen that before (good eyes!!)
What could thay have done to the car ,to get those flames from the WG?

Good point, probably not stock.

Remember this guy who was really fast, I asked him about his car, -"it's stock", he said. After a few minutes it turned out to be 2.200 lbs, race suspension, bigger brakes, a custom chip, race cams and the list went on...
It's allways "stock" isn't it? :-)

Anyway, it's still impressive driving, just a few seconds slower than Porsche factory driver with a 996 GT3 Mk1.

Flames could be a cat-less car. Mine used to spit serious flames out of it

Ya...flames can be thrown from the waist gate pipe. On my car it happens most when coming back up on boost from a (slow) shift. There is enough fuel that loads up it's thrown out from the exhaust and waste gate. Gotta love CIS :-)

Don't you need headers for flames? I've been running straight through on both sides for over a year (but no headers) and no flames.

I have headers and straight through pipes, no mufflers, no flame arresters, no cats no nothing, but no flames...

"Bridge to Gantry", a way of time a "tourist lap" since you can't make a full lap.
