I know it is mandated by regulation, but even so I have always thought the illuminated numbers were totally cool.

Needs flames.

Edit: Also, the rear tyres should be deflated and the arse end of the car dragging on the ground.

Shame about the #17 car. Wonder what the failure was - clutch perhaps? Seemed to go from nothing to showering flames and sparks very quickly.

Going arse-first into barriers at Ludicrous Speed might not have helped.

Yeah, that probably was a contributing factor...

It’s on a motorsport podcast as well. 2014 I think. Well worth a listen.
