Race - Lap 35 Engine ๐ฅ
During qualifying at the 2002 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, Olivier Panisโs 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.

๐ฌ๐ง 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.

Running Out of Fuel:
The immediate cause of the retirement was running out of fuel while ascending the mountain near The Cutting.ย
Race Incidents and Damage:
Earlier in the day, the carโs progress had been hampered by a series of miscues and minor on-track impacts. 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 7โs day ended prematurely.
(The chassis used for this carโHRT 027โsubsequently earned the affectionate nickname "Elvis" due to the remarkable number of heavy hits and bumps it accumulated over its short racing career).

He still does this today for events and his car control past and present is unbelievable whether in a rally or on a circuit.

3rd - 6th of May
The F2 Kit Car Threat:
Lightweight, front-wheel-drive Peugeot 306 Maxis driven by Franรงois Delecour and Gilles Panizzi terrorized the turbocharged 4WD field.
Panizzi dominated early on the tight, dry asphalt stretches, proving the agility of high-revving naturally aspirated Kit Cars on the "Rally of 10,000 Turns."ย
Mรคkinen's Cow Incident:
Championship contender Tommi Mรคkinen suffered electrical issues on Leg 1 before a bizarre collision with a cow on Leg 2 sent his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V off the road into a riverbed, forcing his retirement.ย
Sainz and Moya Mechanical Woes:
Carlos Sainz fought near the front in his Toyota Corolla WRC until brake issues on Leg 2 derailed his challenge, leaving him down in 8th place.ย
McRae's Masterclass:
Colin McRae and co-driver Nicky Grist paced themselves expertly as the stages grew longer. McRae seized the lead on the final leg, managing his tires and output to hold off Delecour by 27.2 seconds.ย
