After reading the full article part 1 and 2 and watching the video of the fire crew trying to put out that car fire it seems like the fuel pump may not have been turned off or stopped when the engine did.
Given the description in the article he talks about finding the fire suppression switch but not that he actually engaged it, just that it was useless at that point. No mention of electrical cut off either and reading the comments of his fellow racers it sounds like running fuel and oil lines inside the cockpit is common on 944 racers.
Lance, if you have mutual friends I'd be curious if that happened or not.
