Anybody else catch this disaster? http://tinyurl.com/lemanscrashpacecar (Video link)

Apparently whats happened here, is the Pace car (Audi S5) was supposed to leave the track when the lights turned green so that everyone could go full throttle, unfortunately the driver of the pace car (for what ever reason) chose to remain on the track, and while the front row of drivers noticed this and slammed on their brakes, the middle and rear section of the pack had no clue and began slamming into the back of other cars while everyone in front was putting on the brakes!
