Every Trackday i've been to either driving or typically marshaling has required a fire extinguisher, the bimmersport one was the exception to that in my experience of 6 trackdays.

tarrbaby 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2010 over the past 6 years that i have been racing at taupo, im pretty sure it was mandatory for the last 4. otherwise it might just be a club enforcement thing but in my view, i would rather have a (small) extinguisher straight away if need be rather than wait for marshalls to get there. nothing worse than standing by and watching your car burn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2010 Fiat Car Club had their dual car sprints at Taupo on the weekend, One car had an engine bay fire... Fortunately another competitor stopped to help and with both of them they got the fire out with very minor damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playday recommend but don't require in-car extinguishers Mine's in the boot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
