What's with this fire the broadcasters keep going on about?

Annoyingly, I missed it...

Some insulation foam on part of the exhaust caught fire within the car; not sure who it was I ain't been watching too closely! From cameras looking at the car you just saw an orange glow and then alot of smoke... nothing too crazy but I don't think there has been too much happening in the past 2 hours!

Edit: From the live commentry thing; 'Jordan Taylor (No. 30 Mazda RX-8) safely steps from his car on pit lane; the cockpit was on fire, and quickly extinguished.'

First full course caution is out for debris with as little over 20 minutes left.

That was frustrating.

From the final restart the racing was close, but you had cars behind that were only fast on the infield and lost huge chunks of time on the oval section and cars ahead that were slow as hell in the infield but could stretch it out on the straight, so you knew a pass wasn't likely....

Oh well, better 10 mins of close racing than none at all...

Worked this one from Turn 8 - sorry I didn't mention it earlier.

The race itself seemed pretty quiet, we certainly didn't have much. Enjoyed the day thoroughly, started with a Skip Barber car on its lid and finished with a really shitty winner. :p The Continental Tire Challenge race though was really really good. I don't quite remember the finished but it was very busy including some bizarre incidents.
