Wow my pants would have been full.
Would have been a dead set shame if he had broken that car

Unbelievable save............You can see at 0.51 sec fluid starts to spray from under the car right in line with the rear tyre.

Looks like it spewed fluid under the rear wheels if you look closely.

Doesnt matter what happens now, he just won everything with that save.

Apparently as the Marshall`s approached his car, the could smell power steering fluid, avgas, breaks and curry.
