Sebastien Loeb's Lancia Delta EV racer destroyed in paddock fire.
shows the massive fire engulfing both cars. The blaze was eventually controlled, but not before engulfing both rallycross cars and one of the team's two shop trucks.
While it is still unclear what actually caused the fire, it is worth noting that both Lancias are electric cars with sizable batteries. That not only potentially makes a fire a bigger hazard, but creates a unique problem for race tracks that typically deal with very different kinds of fire. The area was fully evacuated and nobody was injured, but, even with an on-site fire crew, the fire was not stopped quickly enough to preserve the cars themselves.
In a release put out today, Special ONE thanked its supporters for their interest in the now-burned cars: "For the moment, the team would like to thank all those who have sent messages of encouragement since Friday, and more generally since the start of the adventure in April. We're proud of the response to our two magnificent Delta Evo-e RXs, of which all that remains today are photos and videos.
