As an alternative to Safety Cars, for the Silverstone 24hrs we used the Dutch Code 60 system which is extremely effective, and for WEC we had FCY which is effectively code 80 (80kph). In fact when they upgraded the FCY to SC it was arguably less safe as everyone speeded up to try to catch the SC.
As I say, both systems work remarkably well and help the teams clear up more quickly and effectively.
