Simpson also off... but fans got him going again.

"It got me, Ypres bit me good and proper. We were going far too quick and we went far too wide and slide off. That's Belgium, we live to fight another day..."

Sad sight...

I belive it is this extreme Ypres cutting and damage to something that contains oil..

The car was full of smoke inside and he was still driving,the co-driver was intimidated and the driver was not stopping.i think the driver didn't act properly,actually i believe he acted irresponsible.

Basically he wanted to save the car. If he would have stopped in the middle of the fields it would have been game over for the car. He reached to the people and fire extinguisher point and saved the car. The suits they wear should be ok for some fire but smoke is not very good indeed.

The rear of the car was burned.. probably oil from the transmission and burning plastic

lets wait and see what was the reason.I cant believe that is from cutting,for a car with sumpguards at asphalt,except if something is not designed properly.
My guess is that engine has gone,and they just wanted to protect engine from a totally failure,oils at the road,bad publicity etc.
of course after all these problems,i will not believe Peugeot sports announcements.

Looks like Peugeot can write off ERC-championship this year - not good for the competition, too.
