VIDEO: Premature Ejaculation - When fire suppression systems attack
WTCC BMW 320si - click above to watch the video
My my, this is embarrassing. During a full course yellow, Jonathan Adam is all set to get interviewed when KA-BLAMO! – the fire suppression system in his
It isn't immediately clear if Adam inadvertently triggered the safety system himself, or if the foamy shower was visited upon him thanks to a mechanical defect. Either way, check out the full video of a very sad and sticky Mr. Adam after the jump.

It more than sucks, that stuff is next to impossible to remove. It is designed to stick to everything to suffocate any fire. His crew is likely spending days getting that stuff out of everything. That's the reason why most of the guys I race with as well as myself leave the safety pins in the pull switch for the fire suppression system. It may take a second or two more to activate the system, but you won't have an accidental discharge. The downside is, if I was in a crash bad enough to knock me unconscious that resulted in a fire, the safety crew would have to pull the pin before activating the system. And for all you guys below asking why he didn't just put his visor down, really? You can't figure out why he wouldn't have is visor down? Trying looking through a visor that's just been sprayed with Elmer's Glue.

As hilarious as it is... in his defense it happens to about every racer at least a time or two. It hasn't happen to me yet but it will it is just a matter of time.

Much rather look through a visor covered in that crap than get it in my eye. You know, that could perhaps make you blind or something right? Seems a pretty easy decision to me.

It was a preemptive strike against the vehicle in possession of pistons of mass combustion...

That's definitely a little different than the way I pictured it happening.

Thats not WTCC but BTCC which was at Knockhill over the weekend
Also his name is Jonathan Adam, not Adams
I saw him last week at an event in Edinburgh and he was really looking for a win at the weekend... better luck at Silverstone Jonathan!

Well, there's no radio in that car nor did he eat a grape... Maybe it was the wind?
