But, since they have two cars in the full IGTC season, they should still be allowed to race in the Pro Cup at Spa. |

And accident right at the start. Looks like about 10 cars involved. The Bentley's move looked a bit stupid to me.

Was that Guy Smith being an idiot?

Lol... didn't they have an extra formation lap to avoid an accident at turn 1?
So who did we lose? |

Guy Smith, please leave your racing license here and come back in a few months, with a new brain if possible.

These start pileups aren't good for the championship. Stewards need to be harsher on driving standards

Smith reacted to the Ferrari looking like it was about to come over. The Lambo had space on drivers left to use and didn't use it.
Ferrari didn't need to move. Smith didn't need to react. Lambo didn't need to hold its line. Perfect storm. |

Sorry, but that Guy Smith is full of BS. Ferrari barely moved at all

Smith is exaggerating because it's his fault. The Ferrari did move - even the commentators said it. But Smith over reacted. Its still his fault but the Ferrari and Lambo didn't need to do what they did either.

Isn't the track getting narrower before turn 1?
I think that's the case on the right side (= the pole position side) ? |

Also what's the deal with the pack bunching? The leaders slowed down at one point and the back of the pack had to brake. The blue Ferrari and Bentley shouldn't have even been able to get alongside. Its like the yellow Ferrari was trying to jump it...and then he sailed over the grass anyway. Another replay there shows the yellow Ferrari move for no reason at all. Smith over reacted and hit the Lambo. |

Did the Lambo even have enough time to react?
As for the pack bunching. I guess that's what happens when you have 2 silver AM drivers starting up at the front... |

Streams broken here so I'm getting a constant replay lol.
Lambo probably didn't have time to react. And certainly wouldn't see the Ferrari moving so doesn't know what's happening to his right. Smith definitely moved because the yellow Ferrari made a movement towards him. |

Could Smith mistaken the Lambo directly behind him for the one that was still on his left?
