No. This is inconsistent. Someone would have to work out a time for each sector and then monitor it, which could still mean they're too fast in the dangerous bit.

Having worked trackside, and also flagged for races using Slow Zones (just one section of the track), Code 60 and VSC, I'm satisfied they do the job of keeping marshals safe and allowing speedy access to a driver in a hazardous situation. And without question, they do the job better than every other method available.

SC doesn't do this for the reasons mentioned earlier - racing back to the start line/pit lane. And it allows for the sort of nonsense we saw at Pukekohe/Bathurst. I haven't seen any situation where bunching the cars up is more useful than running them at slow pace.

At amateur level, it may not be possible to limit the cars properly, at every professional or semi-professional level it is.
