Brazilian racer escapes death!

TopGear reports:
If Brazilian Stock Car Championship drivers compiled a list of things they'd rather didn't happen, we wager Car Bursting Into Flames For No Obvious Reason figures pretty near the top.

Unfortunately for Tuka Rocha - a driver in said championship - his Chevrolet did just that, forcing him to kick open the door and perform a Knievel-style daredevil exit from the moving car.

At this point, we'd probably sit down and have a nice cry. But Rocha chooses to perform a happily little dance, wave around a bit then collapse on the ground.

Matthew Jones.
And the video.

He's lucky to get out of that car alive.

Also, Bazilian Stock Car racing > US Stock Car racing.

There is a reason for fire suits... Glad he made it out.
