Pace car doesn't come off the track, ensuing crash when green lights are on!

Apparently the hump in the start/finish straight means the GT cars couldn't see how slowly the prototypes were going. Oh dear...

man, someone either in the pace car or in charge of the lights has a lot of 'splaining to do.  :rofl:

Sucks for those racers though.

Apparently the pace car was told not to exit.  You can see he started to exit and swerved back.  But they forgot to turn the lights off!
