We call that 'driving around in circles in a big procession' and it's not nearly as interesting as 'racing' used to be!

With HANS devices and driving position in the centre now it is harder and harder to see someone who wants to dive bomb so drivers will close the door and end up spinning out. If you allow it like this you end up with 90s BTCC style crash up derby which was out of control.
Careful of the rose-coloured glasses!
