There's tension in the Supercars paddock following a second serious engine fire in as many days. RepcoSC
There have now been two serious engines fires in as many days, both occurring on Ford Mustangs from different teams.
The source of the fires is yet to be determined, with WAU left convinced the issue on the Percat car was electrical from a control sensor. Instead the series warned teams to check oil levels and drain catch cans before today's race – something that didn't prevent the Courtney fire. In the wake of the fire the Tickford garage was filled with senior technical personnel from almost all rival teams, as well as the likes of Supercars Head of Motorsport Adrian Burgess and engine specialist Craig Hasted.Burgess declined to comment on the matter when approach by Motorsport.com earlier this evening.
While Courtney is out of tomorrow's race, Edwards did admit that he is concerned over putting his other three drivers back in cars that could feasibly suffer the same issue.
