Incidentally as to the 'smaller grids produce better racing' argument, some of us remember 1992 when the FIA managed to mess up Group C sportscars and about 29 cars started Le Mans- No-one ever talks about that as being one of the all-time classic LMs

not twice the amount of safety cars, almost 3 times as many, and almost 5 times as many laps
statistically it should have been about 11 safety cars, not 17.
the trend is constant at Bathurst and is seen in field sizes at the 12 hour over its history
