5 aircraft were in the pattern for runway 26. We were #2 on final, the aircraft on downwind cut in front of us, on a collision course. There were 2 aircraft behind us. We were forced to climb to 1300 ft (daytona class C airspace) in order to avoid traffic. Left the pattern, unable to identify aircraft.
