Most people, even professional drivers, would probably pull aside on the road if their vehicle caught on fire, but not racing car driver Jason White and his navigator John White.
In the middle of the Targa High Country 2011 race, which took place at Mt Buller in Australia during the first weekend of November, the dynamic duo noticed that the rear-end of their brand-new $600,000 Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale was up in flames.
But instead of calling it a day, the Tasmanians decided to continue the race – and guess what; despite the fact that their Lambo was slowly roasting, they actually managed to win the race!
“We don’t know exactly what caused the fire, but about halfway through, up she went and I could actually physically feel the heat from the fire and I said to John, ‘Well, what do want to do? It is a big fire, should we stop and put it out?’ and he said no, keep up and we’ll get to the top,” said Jason White.
“We had a pretty good run and managed to win the thing as well so it has been a good weekend,” White added.
You can check out the newly released footage from the event organizers, which shows the burning Lambo in action, right after the break.
