There are good days in racing. There are bad days in racing. Sometimes, there are cars that just won't stop being on fire in racing, too. For the Lotus CLM P1/01 at the 6 Hours of Fuji, this was one of those crazy never ending pit lane fire days.

The Lotus CLM P1/01 is a new LMP1 entry to the World Endurance Championship that debuted at the Lone Star Le Mans weekend last month in Austin.

Luckily, he was quick to hop out and only escaped with minor burns.

The car was in second place at the time of the fire, and a failure in the fueling system was to blame for taking the car out of the race.

Television broadcasters of the United States, you have failed us. The Bathurst 1000, an insane V8…
