Clearways should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
In my opinion Code 60 would work significantly better if drivers had radios as well as the marshals. The problem is a 'raceceiver' system will cost the club between £500-£2000 for the base station plus £50-300 per competitor, although maybe this competitor cost would be passed on to the competitors. Something possibly worth exploring for the clubs using Code 60.

The code works exceptionally well in qualifying and saves a lot of time. In a race situation it is unlikely to ever work satisfactorily as there is always a chance for competitors to gain an uncontrolled amount of time. Yes there are always competitors that benefit or lose out from a safety car, but the effect is generally known and controlled if race control follow the safety car procedure properly (which can take a lot of time!).

For events like CSCC where the racing is non-championship, Code 60 has more scope for working. For highly competitive race series like the national Formula Ford championship, code 60 will only cause disputes and problems.
