I'm sorry but both Audi are out due to their own drivers taking chances they did not need to.
Trying to come from 2 cars behind and expect the slower car just not to be there, in the racing line, or in this later one, at very high speed, expect a low performance car over that bumpy part to just stay away from someone he never knew was behind is dumb and too risky.
There is no way the slower car can guess what the guy behind will do. And those massive lights hinder more (huge light blurred in BOTH mirrors) than they help.
The guy behind however, especially in a faster car, can CHOOSE when to overtake. And today both Audi are out because both drivers chose poorly.
And can you PLEASE stop bashing the "smaller" cars? If LMP1 should have the track for themselves, they would make SEPARATE RACES.
Traffic is a part of this race, as are mechanical failures and punctured tyres.
They are all racing, and the one passing has all the aces. Bad choices made these crashes.

I've had a few incidents on GT5 similar to that, clip the grass, lose grip, your a passenger.

Should have, yes. Then again, I'm not certain on the Ferrari's rear visibility or whether the driver can tell the lights are flashing considering how bright those LED's are. Finally, I noticed that the Audi flashed the lights from afar but then stopped for 2-3 seconds before flashing them again as he was attempting the pass.
It's a tough situation all around. Technically, the slower car is supposed to hold their line but in that section, that would had meant the Audi had to follow right behind the Ferrari and make the pass on the outside of that kink.

Last night. Nurburgring. Leading...
I meant at Indianapolis. From GT and watching real life, don't forget the road is not flat, it's very bumpy, so the slightest loss of grip upsets the car completely.

I won't be up after then.). Also whoops I went off topic.
Yup. Peugeot Sport has now confirmed the same. We have around 40 more minutes of safety car. I guess no records are going to be broken today
.Look. At. This. Armco.
That was one though shunt. No wonder they'll take so much time repairing it.
