WSxR: P1 hit by devastating factory fire by Mathias Olaf Uncertain
28th Aug 2009
P1 Motorsport faces a race against time to prepare two cars for the penultimate round of the World Series by Renault at the Nurburgring on September 19/20, following a devastating factory fire that destroyed virtually all of the team's assets.

"The whole thing has gone," wailed team owner Roly da Vinci-Code. "The whole lot has gone dan brown."

Da Vinci-Code has vowed to try and get his team back up and running in time for James Walker - who lies second in the championship behind Bertrand Baguette - to continue fighting for the title.

"We have to act fast," said da Vinci-Code, "We are going to try and get out for the next races. Renault have told me they have got cars available. We've got to go and get them and then prepare them.

"And then we've got to quickly design another new logo, and this time we promise it won't be so shit."

The Norfolk-based squad's headquarters were part of an entire block of units which caught fire overnight in the Oaktree Business Park in Shropham.

"Apparently there was a fire in the factory next door, and the entire unit has been burned down," said da Vinci-Code.

"I don't want to get all conspiracy theory on you," he added, "but I did have a queer feeling when the Bertrand Baguette Pyrotechnics, Aviation Fuel and Crystal Meth Company moved in."
