๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช 2002 Belgian Grand Prix Car 4 ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Kimi Rรคikkรถnen - McLaren MP4-17 Mercedes V10 Qualifying - ๐Ÿฅˆ Race - Lap 35 Engine ๐Ÿ’ฅ During qualifying at the 2002 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, Olivier Panisโ€™s BAR-Honda suffered a blown engine heading up the high-speed section after Eau Rouge/Raidillon toward the Kemmel Straight. The failure coated the track in a thick, blinding cloud of white smoke and oil. While other drivers backed off or approached with extreme caution due to near-zero visibility, 22-year-old Kimi Rรคikkรถnen (driving for McLaren-Mercedes) kept his foot hard on the throttle, driving completely flat-out through the wall of smoke at well over 180+ mph (300 km/h).ย  When asked about the moment afterward, Kimi famously brushed off the danger with his signature nonchalance, treating it as completely routine. ๐ŸŽฅ @F1 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #cars #belgium #motorsport #finland

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Monte Carlo Edition in Jewel Violet 1 of 200 The 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Monte Carlo Edition in Jewel Violet is a legendary homologation special, representing one of the rarest and most desirable specs of the iconic "Cossie." Released to celebrate Ford's rally successes, the Monte Carlo edition was strictly limited to just 200 units worldwide and was offered in only three factory colors: Ash Black, Mallard Green, and the striking Jewel Violet (with only a handful of right-hand-drive units allocated to the UK). It features the signature massive rear wing, permanent four-wheel-drive, the turbocharged 2.0-litre Cosworth YBT engine pumping out around 224 to 227 bhp, and unique touches like 16-inch O.Z. Racing alloy wheels, Recaro sports seats with "Motorsport" logos, and a numbered dashboard plaque.ย  This car was sourced and sold by Gl Automotive.

Both Jones and Crompton made small driving errors that resulted in bodywork and handling damage, making a tough race even harder before it finally spluttered to a halt.ย  While their teammates (Win Percy and Allan Grice) successfully brought the lead HRT Commodore home to a brilliant second-place finish, car 7โ€™s day ended prematurely. (The chassis used for this carโ€”HRT 027โ€”subsequently earned the affectionate nickname "Elvis" due to the remarkable number of heavy hits and bumps it accumulated over its short racing career).
