You don't have to be sorry. It was a big deal when it happened. Especially with the limited production.

I don't know what ever happened past that damage and if insurance covered anything.

But I doubt it.

@Linda's Hell Cat, Isn't this the one that was on YouTube? Driver was arguing with track officials while his car was burning?

It was 2 different Demons.
Both Demons were posted about on the other forum.

Several Demons have bit the dust over the past 2 years. Fires, accidents, theft, parted out, etc.

Sad, unless you own one, then maybe not so sad?

Just keepin' it real! ;-)

Technically while there may have been an intent to race, the vehicle was not actively participating in a contest of speed or racing event at the moment of the incident, the failure was mechanical in nature (within the designed parameters of the vehicle, any modifications notwithstanding (notwithstanding disclosure of those modifications to the insurance company)), not the result of driver error/circumstance during participation in a race.

It would be an interesting debate with the insurance company and the guy's lawyer if they challenged it. Additionally, track day insurance is commercially available.

Track day insurance & the fire crew walks away after a brief verbal altercation
Interesting situation for sure

I believe I heard mention of a "Pulley" mod
So I assume FCA warranty would not help due to the mod
