For those who don't know, the person driving the pace car was none other than executive VP Mark Reuss of GM who crashed it into the wall, not correctly estimating the lift of the rear of the car when going over a bad bump in the road. However, GM had another explanation: "According to a statement from General Motors,. "It is unfortunate that this incident happened. Many factors contributed, including weather and track conditions. The car's safety systems performed as expected." Note the weather was perfect as was the track, this is driver error plain and simple - and quite embarrassing for Mark Reuss who like to race cars. Suffice to say when the backup car was used he was not driving anymore.

You know sometimes when you're trying to fall asleep and remember an embarrassing moment? Don't think anything's as embarrassing as this

"I'll ruin this car like I ruined Holden"

I guess Mark Reuss can now add Crash Test Dummy to his resume...

An American muscle car faces a corner... it was inevitable! 😉

the driver is Mark Reuss, GM's product development head, not a pro driver (well it's quite obvious already). Looks like race org is totally fine with that, "Yeah, let him drive our pace car since he paid our salaries" :>

Yeah that's the VP of GM. Delayed the race for 40 min!!!
I saw the French version and they were laughing at him.

Like to be a fly on the wall tomorrow morning when “Crash” shows up at the office.

I think it’s great that this happened! The corvette is supposed to offer the “Everyman,” a shot at owning a super car on a middle class salary. And it’s done that incredibly well. The thing is, it does it so well that people need to realize that if they buy one they probably should have some driving lessons just for it, to be safe. I tested out a ZR1 at a GM event over a decade ago and people were wrecking off the track and into an open field all over the place! They had race car trainers coaching you, but I learned something that day: I drive a front wheel drive car real well, fast. I drive a mustang pretty well, fast. If I drove a Corvette as fast as it’d go, I’d wreck. It’s too much supercar to just lay on it all the way—so is the Viper.

"I'm a VP! I'll drive that pace car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watch the power on the elevation changes. Blah, blah, blah. Rear end gets light. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That Was ALMOST As Stupid As J.r. Smith's game 1 🤣

The passenger discreetly hit the traction control OFF button while holding back an evil grin

You can hear the European elite (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.) snickering in the background.

Having watched this live my immediate reaction was to spit out my drink and choke with laughter
ABC: The pace car has spun and crashed
Me: immediately starts dying

You're fired!

I drive on the track often. That was a rookie mistake. Cold tires, cold brain, too much throttle coming off the corner. Live and learn it happens.

That should suspend his license for awhile, like the pace car is supposed to be going like 55mph at that point and this dude burns out and loses control, ROOKIE.
