I'm more puzzled why there is an upside down cart in the parking lot.

Who's going to NOLA today to watch the Porsches race?

I hope they have a Singer Porsche on display.

Singer. Base model starts at 300k, all the trimmings will run 500k. Its the ultimate Porsche.

Interesting that the flames do not seem to be coming from the engine compartment. Could be electrical in the dash, I suppose. Or arson as others have suggested.

the video says 2014. All 700+ 2014 GT3 models were recalled for fires also with the engines replaced.
