Yes, I am looking for film (In or out of car) or still pictures of the turbo fire at turn 11. I was the driver.

I was hoping someone would have something already out there on the internet. I heard it was quite a fire.

No pictures, but I was watching among a group of RVs that were parked between 10 and 11, and you put on quite a show.

I'd say the flames following your car were almost as long as the car itself. Probably like 10x a normal "turbo downshift flame."

I was impressed by your decision to drive right up to the flagging station so they could try to put it out. A flagger emptied an entire fire extinguisher from over the wall, but the fire still went on.

Once the engine lid was opened, they finally managed to put the fire out.
