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.

Someone must add the sorry edit, since they are Canadians (huehuehue).

Judging by the second video there was a mustang race next. That would have been much worse.
And think of all those Nissan Micras that were destroyed. Hurrah! Less ugly granny cars!
I wonder if they will do a series with Ford kas next? That would be good.
