I took this photo many years ago (plus some others showing the outcome).

For a point can you identify the car on fire, the circuit, the year and the driver?

Is that a Morgan SLR?
I understand that one caught fire at Silverstone in 1975
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

Yes that's it.
Can you identify the driver at the time?
Locked for you.

I had to google this one, and the outcome is somewhat surprising:
Sir Aubrey Brocklebank "the chairman of the UK's third-largest bingo hall owner Top Ten Holdings"

That's the man, well done.
He was lucky that the fire marshals/trucks were quickly on hand.

Here is the sequence of photos I took at Silverstone -
