I was once at Snetterton on Remembrance Sunday a few years back. The timetable was for a break at 11am, unfortunately we didn't run to time and 11am ended up being in the middle of a practice session.
The session was chequred at about 5 to 11, everyone came into the pits, and then it resumed at about 5 past.
Different circumstances yes, as it easier to stop a practice session. But, the 600 wasn't originally scheduled to run through the silence - and given how long it takes to run 600 miles I couldn't see them re-scheduling around it. It's a set time, and also found it as a very nice touch as opposed to any form of annoyance.
