It seems that most drivers weren't enthused with that whole section of track, because of in spite of a lot of it being fairly wide, the racing lines were fairly narrow which limited overtaking in general, be it between classes or for position within a class, and the chicane especially was a big choke point.
With the relative straight line performances between LMPs and GTs as of now, I was surprised actually that there were no more incidents than there were. We have to remember that LRP abandoned a similarly tight chicane before the diving turn because of accidents there in '08-'10.
