As a trackside marshall of 17 odd years I agree totally.(yes very odd in fact.....)
Putting a big fire out is hard enough, without extra (un-needed) fuel, and then there is also the highly toxic fumes given off by the burning material.
This is dangerous to both the Driver & the Safety crews attending to him.
The argument against removing vinyl door trims, hood lining etc in Historic Cars is about as relevant as wearing Tweed jackets with leather patches on the sleeves.
Just because some like them, and they are still in fashion in Historic Racing, doesn't make it right............
