For instance even though the 1000 was ran on wets often 30 seconds a lap of qualifying pace it completed 161 laps quicker than the 12 hour did which was run in the dry (7hr11min compared 7hr18min) Clearly there is no interest in having prolonged periods of safety cars in the 1000. I can see no evidence its the goal of the 12 hour promoters ever (although Clearly many fans on here dont care)
To deny there isnt a safety car issue in the 12 hour is to put ones head in the sand
2017 Bathurst 1000 6 Safety cars for ten laps 7 Hours 11
2018 Bathurst 12 hour 17 Safety cars for 47 laps. 12 hours
