peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Those rules on driving time have been in the regs for a very long time but the big change has been the time certain finishes and those time certain windows being rather small.

If the race started earlier and the time certain finish time was a bit later, even a long delay like yesterday's race suspension might not reduce the number of laps, so we'd get an actual 500km race.

Most of the teams were onto it and got their co-driver running done then hoiked them out of the car, BJR tried something different and out-thunk themselves in the process.

The problem to me is the time-certain approach rather than the driving time rules.

agree with you, they are clear for full races, but dont cope well with time certain or even red flagged races
