One further oddity of the FCY->SC thing is that the SC is usually only out for a lap or two, which isn’t enough time for all cars to get into the train. This has two effects:
1. By random chance some cars are left way behind when the SC pulls in
2. The drivers realise the risk so as soon as SC is called they drive like demons to ensure they make it to the train. It’s paradoxical to see the cars accelerate hard and push to the limit the moment SC procedure is announced.
I really have a problem with this. It’s artificial and random and dumb. It disfigured the Spa 24, which was a great spectacle but a poor race.
