Help me please?

[David Church]

A while back I was watching some motor racing on tv and the commentator used a word to describe when 1 car follows another car into a crash. Many of us have done this at one time or another, and there is a word to describe this. Now I don't mean 2 cars crashing together, I mean 2 cars going around not too far apart, the car in front crashes and the car behind has the same crash.
I have used tractor beam in the past to describe this, but I would really like to find out what this word is. I did as many people last weekend at the National, but none knew, some of those people I asked think they are very clever as well Lol.

So over to you my fellow oOpler's, does anyone have the answer?

Cheers

Edited, I'm wrong!

[No. 46]

crashing in sympathy or synchronised crashing?

[Karting]

I know in banger racing (1/1 scale) its called 'following in'

[Dudders]

Karting, that's what I thought, but not in this case.

Dave, could it be Kinetic Engery?

[David Church]

I'm thinking when the right word is found, it can be put in wikipedia or a dictionary type website and it will give the proper definition.
Keep trying folks

I think the best term from now on would be "and (insert name here) has just Dave Church'd it".

[Dudders]

"Emergence"
