Yep, that was predictable. Seen some gnarly crashes from the lower classes; Civics, Cruzes, etc.

I posted while still watching it unfold. Didn't realize the Porsche was already in the wall to start the dominos tumbling.

You would think if they got through the 1st lap safely that kind of crash wouldn't occur. Oh well.

^Agreed, get some spacing in the field & it would probably go well. All bunched up the first couple laps (lead 3-4 cars got through) and the outcome is as expected.

I guess with the blind corners in Macau, the probability is there for this type of pile up.

Perfect angle of the pileup from someone's apartment.

Yup, the fifth place Mercedes just squeaked by. Seems like everyone behind him crashed, except for the car in last place, probably because the tail end wasn't totally blind anymore.
