Supercar on Instagram: "During the 1981 Indianapolis 500, one of the most dangerous incidents in racing history unfolded when a fire ignited that was almost impossible to see. When Rick Mears pitted, methanol fuel spilled onto his car and instantly caught fire. Methanol burns with a nearly transparent flame, making the blaze invisible on camera and extremely hard to spot in person. 🔥😳 Mears jumped out of the car in confusion as his crew rushed in with extinguishers, unsure where the flames act

@f1archived on Instagram: "Rick Mears was involved in one of the most memorable pit lane fire incidents of the early 1980s at the Indianapolis 500, an era when Indy cars ran on methanol. Unlike gasoline, methanol burns with a flame that can be extremely faint or nearly invisible in bright daylight, making fires harder to detect and adding a unique layer of danger during high-pressure pit stops.

Sharp Minds Only on Instagram: "The 1981 Indy 500 delivered one of motorsport’s most frightening moments when Rick Mears’ car burst into flames during a pit-lane crash.

Formula Folds on Instagram: "During the 1981 Indianapolis 500, a near-tragic incident involving driver Rick Mears became one of the most memorable and impactful moments in racing history. While making a routine pit stop, Mears was accidentally sprayed with methanol fuel, which ignited on contact with the car’s hot surfaces. Because methanol burns with a nearly invisible flame, neither Mears nor the pit crew immediately realized he was on fire. The scene turned chaotic as people fled in confusion
