The most common problem I've seen here is a driver going so slowly he doesn't catch up with the SC! Being the one behind that can be very frustrating. Drivers who'd have 'em 
Not that this is a reason to not doing anything, or an argument that one method is better than another. |
Depending on the specifics of a particular incident there may be no need to get all the cars in one group, incident can be dealt with (can include recovery, oil dressing, etc) where cars are circulating at 60kph with gaps in traffic known and fixed (OK, yes there may be cars who exit pits which may appear where a gap used to be....but they're still just doing 60kph).
Bottom line though, Code 60 is just another option available to the CoC if applicable to a particular meeting/race - the specifics of a particular incident will determine if it is an appropriate option to use.
