The trouble is that, at the moment, very few club racers have a GPS speedo so the 60kph speed is very arbitrary. Is it really safer if some cars are circulating at 70 kph (thinking they are doing 60) and are catching drivers doing 40 kph (thinking they are doing 60).
Until it is mandatory to have a gps speedo in a race car it's pointless, and probably safer to have a safety car.
That has its own frustrations and is unfair, too, but is probably safest for the marshals. If I was a marshal I think I'd rather work in the long gap between the train coming round than the irregular gaps of drivers whose speed I can't be sure of.
Make gps speedo mandatory, with recording, and try again.
