Unfortunate Accident in Japan..Anyone else read about it?

I found this on YouTube as a random link. This is a perfect example to show when putting together a group driving event and asking participants to be responsible drivers.

I read about this morning as well. It would interesting to hear what was the actual cause of this horrible accident. Were they traveling too fast too close together?

Wow, those 355's Magnesium wheels just shattered. The Scuderia's rear end was toast. Ouch. Heard everyone was all right.

I read somewhere else, that the original cause was a single driver getting impatient, and trying to pass a Toyota Prius (no joke), and when he did he clipped the guardrail, and went into a spin, causing a chain reaction. You can see the Prius at :06 in the video, looks to be maroon.

It indicates in this article that the lead Ferrari lost control on the wet road surface and the cars following were unable to react fast enough. A witness indicated they were traveling between 140 and 160 kilometers an hour.

Thanks for the link. I hope you guys appreciated this portion of the article:

Supercars are not necessarily owned by the super-rich in Japan. Many owners are young people who save up their earnings to satisfy their dream, according to media.
