Lamborghini driver Georgi Donczew seemingly walked away uninjured following a huge fireball accident at the GT World Challenge race at Misano.

Fighting a Ferrari, Donczew was tipped into a spin, and collected the armco barriers to the outside of the track, with the car erupting into flames as other drivers tried to avoid the wreckage.

Fortunately, after the car came to rest, he was able to climb unaided from the burning wreck, with the red flags flown by race control.

Check out the footage from the frightening incident below.
