Surprised that other racing series don't use such a feature to indicate FCY.

As to the pace car issue, IMSA tried to after the overall leaders made stops to pick up the next class leader in line that didn't pit. Seemed to work for the most part, but that system, like any, isn't 100% perfect.
IndyCar has used that dash light system for many years...all series should do the same, if appropriate...

However, how would you deal with local yellows? That might be a difficult one to account for with such a system...especially at a big plave like Le Mans.
