That is NUTS!

Do Porsches have the gas tanks in the front or what? I thought they were in the middle? Well I guess it is all custom so it was prolly a fuel cell in the back? Or in the trunk (front) compartment?

I wonder if that guy made it?

If you stop the video at 26seconds and slowly advance the film you can see clearly the tower caught on fire, either the flagger or the flags were engulfed in Flames.. but the tower was definetely on fire.

The sound effects surely were added in, which make it sort of unrealistic although more dramatic.

It's hard to say where the fuel cell of either car is. Both cars are rear engine RWD, so it would mean the cell is somewhere in the rear of the car near the engine, or in the front in between the suspension, which I believe the latter would make more sense as far as weight distribution goes.

If you look in the begining of the film, the weather really wasn't that bad you can clearly see signs in the background, etc.. it wasn't till the cars went by that the visibility got really bad.
