They will swap positions and be even further behind the lead. I think that's good enough.

Heh. Hope you're watching, Mr Barfield.

Seems a little lenient but it was daft rather than malicious and I don't think trying to "even things out" is the right way to go.

And guess which car the #22 gets out just in front of?

If it had happened at the first corner, fair enough. But he shouldn't have even being trying to overtake where he did.

Let's see what happens with this rain. Few drops but it's not trying quite hard enough at the moment.

I think it would have been good enough to put them back right where they were and say "Do Over".

I guess that's not doable.

3 yellows in the last hour. The only downside to this great race is it's certainly a bit yellowy.

Not that I love paved runoffs at all, but does anyone else think that paving the runoff at the first and last corners would save a lot of safety car time without compromising safety?

Indeed. SCs give me a chance to catch up on who's in what car and to hear a Scotsman say "Continental" many times in a very small t shirt

Strong restart by Whincup. Taking three guys for position within about 3 corners. Albeit Am guys. He'll be leading soon.

I've never been to the circuit but it seems the only access for safety vehicles here is the track itself, so I don't see slow zones working, imo.

The gravel on exit seems to be excessive, but gravel helps when brakes fail/throttle sticks. Paved runoffs do nothing.

Looking at aerials of Hell and Murray's, seems like they'd have to push the wall and other "things" back to make it work.. I could be wrong as i've never been there.
