If it does not rain. I am very optimistic that this year's 24 will see much less safety car time. 1) Smaller grid of 50 cars 2) No LMPC cars which seemed to stall easily when in trouble 3) The sorting of prototypes starting in front of GT cars at a restart could help reduce collisions in the first 5 minutes after green 4)Maybe Beau Barfield and company learn from races like Lime Rock, VIR, and Laguna Seca from 2017 and see that long green flag runs are actually good for the spectacle and is entertaining.
If there is more green flag running though there could be higher attrition with mechanical stress hitting the machines. Could see more trips to the garage. Maybe not a bad place to walk by at 2 am if you are in the infield.
