This is from the group 6 BRIC race of July 17, 2005. My understanding is
that the pace car didn't control the field properly. The pace
car was going too fast and the lead group got separated from the middle
group on the pace lap. The starter didn't give the green, but the middle
group of cars, by now up to full race speed & trying to catch the lead
group, couldn't see that, Nor could they see the lead group of cars, which
by this time were off of the gas and slowing down.
17 cars received extremely major damage or were destroyed. Nobody
died. Cars are just cars, but people need more than bondo to fix, so be careful out there.
