Um, at the risk of using an over used phrase, shit happens. Maybe there was some oil or debris that he found, maybe driver brain fade, maybe tires gave up, maybe something mechanical, who knows?
I spent over ten years flagging Tuesday test days at LRP, and I saw a fair amount of really serious shunts happen. You get a mix of cars and skill levels, some serious closing speeds, people shaking down cars that may not be 100% and you have a recipe for stuff like that. I saw it happen with 20+ cars on track and I saw it with 3 cars on track.
I came away with a healthy respect for watching my mirrors, watching the other drivers out with me and watching my ass. Tune and test days can be much more dicey than an actual race groupings.
