I just don't think anything nascar do with regards to safety cars/yellows really applies to v8s.. Too different a beasts..

I agree, they go much faster and complete laps more quickly , so therfore differences arrive from a safety point of view. They also have more accurate timing loops than we have, so we cant just freeze at a certain point in time, but i guess the otherside is they overtake more too so we may not need the timing loops for that due to less likely to be overtaking.
My point was though, they shut the pit as soon as the incident happens, this saves advantaging anyone.
In v8s if we were to close the pits, we would have to work on when to call the SC, to stop people being disadvantaged/advantaged. If we tightened this up, it would lead to more SC's
alternately we could keep them the same way and that woudl lead to disadvataging drivers, but we would not have an icnrease in SC's. I am imagining the howls from certain people on here, regarding bias if that was too happen.
The liklihood is we would have missed out on a great drive from lowndes at this years Bathurst, then we really would have reason to wonder what was wrong with Bathurst
