This Nissan Micra Cup Race Very Quickly Descended Into Carnage

Last weekend's Micra Cup race at Calabogie in Canada had a chaotic start, with much of the field caught up in a massive pile-up

Fortunately, no serious injuries were caused by this massive pile-up. The fact that these pint-sized racers - built by Nissan itself - come with FIA-approved racing seats, five-point harnesses and full roll cages was no doubt a big factor in keeping all the competitors safe.

The accident was caused by an incident at the front of the pack, which caused a chain reaction leading to the massive smash you see here.

It’s a Canada only series but I’ve heard Nissan are thinking about bringing them to other parts of the world. 20 grand for a spec racer is not too bad tbh.

Haha he bought two of those so must have liked them. He bought a 300C SRT8 after that so at least things improved a bit

Love the first bump in the rear, absolutely no f*cks given. Looks like the normal procedure over there.
