In the first round of the final of the CT in Buenos Aireswhere the regular stage of the championship will close and the way will be opened to the Gold Cup, a shocking event occurred: Gaston Mazzacane’s car caught fire and the pilot, who later admitted that he “couldn’t see anything”, had to throw it in the middle of the runway and get out in a hurry.

When the sights were set on the top of the race, and how Agustin Canapino’s Chevy -making his return to Turismo Carretera after leaving IndyCar- was fighting with the new generation cars, a Rayo that circulated in the middle of the table caught everyone’s attention: Not only did his Chevrolet Camaro catch fire, it turned into a ball of fire.

Mazzacane’s car was completely on fire. The other drivers successfully avoided him.

Leaving the Salotto, Chivo began to reduce his speed and the rest of the cars tried to avoid him. When he had not yet finished passing the entire pack, Mazzacane opened his door, threw himself to the floor and managed to dash out of the area. Finally, the firefighters managed to control the flames.

“Leaving the S del Ciervo and entering the Salotto, it turned off. I was going to enter the pits, but the car started to catch fire, I felt an impressive temperature and I didn’t see anything. That’s why I couldn’t get off the track. I saw black, I didn’t know where to get off, and then I got off very fast. The image from inside was tremendous, the pilots were able to avoid me because they were watching… It was a quick rescue, the entire rear of the car burned down“, Rayo later said in conversation with Public TV.
