The F4 British Championship abandoned its second race at Zandvoort after a “technical issue” wreaked havoc.
Race two of the weekend appeared to get underway when the red lights illuminated briefly before extinguishing.
Most of the field took off from the grid before the lights lit up again.
Some cars at the head of the field briefly left their grid boxes before stopping again while the trailing pack stormed towards turn one.
Carnage ensued as cars piled into each other and spun across the track.
The race was duly red-flagged and not restarted.
Per a British F4 Championship statement, the race will be run in full on Sunday (local time).
