It's a 964 RSR clone, and one driver was reported to be seriously injured.

Part of the track was slowed and under construction, which reportedly led to the pileup.

Yeah, you can see the roadwork marker in that video. Simply nuts. They were asking for trouble.

See the hard braking and accidents afterwards? Unreal that the course workers or officials didn't do anything farther back!
