Audi RS5 pace car causes chaos

http://axisofoversteer.blogspot.com/...-car-fail.html

It looks like the lights turned green but the track marshals (still waving a yellow flag) and the pace car driver (still on the track) never got the message, or somebody flipped the green lights too soon. Either way, what a mess!

I saw this streamed, it wasn't the Audi's fault.

The race was clearly still under the yellow flag, whoever tripped the green light should get reprimanded severely. Just a dangerous situation, and it's fortunate no one got hurt, except for a few banged up Porsches.

Wow! Whoever's the one that either drove the pace car or set the lights green is in some deep shit. I feel terrible for the teams whose cars wrecked in the opening seconds of the season.
