"In den Saisons XXXX, XXXX und XXXX ist ein Feld von min. XX Fahrzeugen pro Veranstaltung am Start gewesen."
And also here:
"Ein qualitativ hochwertiges Feld, welches auf international bedeutenden Strecken in X, Y und Z im Rahmen von hochwertigen Serien antritt."
From a German text about motorsports (Formula racing, that kind of thing). X, Y and Z are the names of countries.
I can't fathom the meaning of "Feld" in this context.

"In exceptional circumstances, such as in extremely poor weather, a race may begin behind the safety car, which will put its orange lights on at least a minute before the start to indicate this. When those lights switch to green the safety car will lead the ***field*** around the circuit in grid order."

Good lateral thinking re. non-drivers and their (lower) impact on the environment, though ;-)
