You could do this with any ICE car.
Hot exhaust and dry plants make fire.
Looks like the brakes might have been what lit the Ferrari off so maybe just don't drive in ridiculously flammable places like that.
Nope the van's engine caught fire too while it was parked and idling. Y'all need to learn to watch the video before commenting.
Well duh, the fire jumped from the Ferrari to the van. Fire irl works like it does in the sims.
We first visibly see fire inside the wheel and brakes get hot too. There isn't enough evidence in the video to make more than a guess but my point was that it's likely a fire would've started even without an ICE.
Well yeah the van caught fire too. (You didn't watch the video?)
Vans also have brakes.
I did something like this once. Scrap cars in a field of someone we knew, cut a track into the grass and had a great time. Still have the piston end from a C1.
