The conditions on the day were very hot & dry and the track temps made the conditions very severe.
In Paul's case it I believe that the combination of his under-body exhaust and track conditions caused excessive heat in his tank creating fuel system problems. This lead to a poor running engine and fuel vapour that was not contained. His engine backfired and things went down hill from there.
I spoke to Paul at length on Wednesday and he is using the incident as catalyst for taking his car off the road and updating/redoing it - including a change of colour.
I'm sure that his car will re-emerge looking (and running) great.
