What caused the white one to spin as well?

[TEAMDIOXIDE]

@CgPallaeon As the two cars tangled at the apex of the kink initiating all kinds of mayhem, the car in front of him was able to check up, and he ran into the back of it, bouncing into the wall right in front of me. Unfortunantely, leaving me nowhere to go.

Was there oil on the track?

[TEAMDIOXIDE]

No oil, I lifted to avoid the two cars crashing in front of me, and either got tagged from behind and spun, or got caught out by trailing throttle oversteer.

[JCCBURT]

looks like the car got by without  major damage...

@TEAMDIOXIDE Yeah, thats exactly what happened, you jumped out of the gas, and when you did it just went around.

Yes, all formula continentals are 4 speed manual:

Were you driving manual?

[GTElwood]

Pretty scary, i mean, it's not one of the safest place for an accident.

I hope all drivers still ok.

Cheers from Italy.

I was there heard that 9 cars or something were invloved in crash...tough luck hope the one guy that was air lifted out is doing okay!

We wondered what had happened, we were at turn 12 and 1/3rd of the field never came by for lap 2
