Maybe you should see it live with your own eyes before becoming convinced it's the far superior procedure! Not that it's perfect but it easily beats a SC 9 out of 10 times.

And it's not only safer for marshals/recovery workers/etc. to work on most incidents, it also lowers the risk of another caution right after the restart as the field is less bunched up (defying the old "yellows bread yellows" routine).

At the end of the day, there's still the option of deploying the SC if/when judged necessary - preferably when the race is already under Code 60 to prevent cars from chasing and catching back up to the pack.

Good move by the MSA - it was about time. I wonder how much longer the various sanctioning bodies over here in the US will take to make a similar move? 5, 10, 15 years perhaps?
