Inspired by 415s30's post about Targa Tasmania. Jason White is a regular of the Aussie targa events in his Gallardo. It catches fire. He doesn’t stop.

Par the course for Mr White

I’ve long known that he drives a Gallardo in these events - full pelt on real roads that have been closed on the event, which sounds like a dream come true to me. I’ve long known that his raging bull caught fire during one of the events.Today I had a closer look...it just gets better.

It’s caught fire many times, but it’s never made him actually stop.

After skipping the 9 minutes of hard Gallardo hoonage, you can see the flames in the rear view mirror, reflecting off the rollcage. He doesn’t seem to care.

Here’s another. Different event, different year. He just keeps going.

And again, in Victoria this time. He does a skid in a flaming Lamborghini .

Amazing. Stupid maybe, but amazing.

Apparently fire makes you to faster. Sounds about right. Let me add that to the list

Here you go, this is what the back of the Lambo looked like after the fire had been put out. Still managed to park up at the finish.

That wasn’t even the worst one!

From here :

“We’ve had the car on fire once before, at Mt Buller, which was a reasonable size fire. But that was a candle compared to this one.”

From memory this just about put this car out of action. Jason & John have now swapped over to a Viper ACR, which they just debuted at Targa Tasmania last week, unfortunately the big V10 only lasted 4 or 5 days before letting go.

“It catches fire. He keeps going.”

Well yeah, thats one strategy. :P Its also an awesome strategy to race while you’re actually on fire!

Oh that explains why they didn’t show up in the results posted by 415s30.

It’s great seeing him race these cars that are really not usually used for motorsports. And it’s greater seeing how they take it.
