The incident occurred in the first chicane of the 1.85 mile circuit, shortened in 2010 to build a light rail system in Surfers Paradise by removing Turns 2-6 (Surfers Paradise Blvd, View Avenue, and The Esplanade). The cars go left when Turn 2 is a chicane into a shortcut and return to Main Beach Parade.

Too much chicane-ry.............
>> Four bystanders were reportedly hurt in the incident and are being transferred to hospital.
Seeing a wreck THAT good — every car race fan’s dream, am I right?
