I don’t think anyone would disagree that getting all competitors in a neat line behind the SC within a reasonable period of time is almost impossible in many cases. As said before, no one wants to be circulating behind the SC for several minutes after the track has been cleared, because A.N.Other is still half a lap away.....
With info being recorded from the transponders we all have, including sector times as well as complete laps, all the necessary info is in race control without having to rely on Marshals reports. However, the latter is good, as it then requires RC to check the data. Maybe what is lacking sometimes, is the manpower in RC to actually check through the info available?
But if drivers were allowed to overtake as soon as green flags replaced yellows and SC boards around the circuit, then the work load upstairs would be reduced, and the scenario that started the whole thread would be eliminated......
Going back to FCY procedure, can anyone confirm that cars are racing again, wherever they are on the circuit, as soon as green flags are shown? I can’t find any clarification on line!
