And no change to the Safety Car rules to bring Supercars.
Drivers will still continue to drive flat out under Safety Car conditions at all times, unless in the queue. |

To be FAIR...nothing wrong with catching up to the "train" so long as you slow and take care at sectors under local yellow...

Hanging out for it (as usual). Not able to have a group here in "Stulag Luft Lockdown" but just might have my "bubble buddy" over - have got around to getting an HDTV so it should be even more better!
Have my tee shirt ready to throw on but fervently hope that it won't be needed this year or ever again. I'll bet that the teams are looking forward to this Bathurst a little bit more than usual too - well the Victorian-based teams anyway, who have been away from their homes since early July - really good to see their efforts recognised on Andretti's indycars this weekend.

https://www.speedcafe.com/2020/09/30...-for-bathurst/ ...however on re-reading I can see at least the lapped cars will be sent once the SC is set to return to pitlane |

So, unless I misunderstand something, the lapped cars won't get a full lap back, rather they will be 15-20 odd seconds ahead of the pack when it goes green??

Yep, so they will be half the length of Conrod in front at the restart, but in a few laps, they might be in the way of the leaders... again...

...and when do the unlapping cars get the green flag? Presumably at the start/finish line, but after the lead pack takes the green or before?

I assume the unlapping cars will be free to go full noise as they pass the safety car. But what's the point? Now we have a group of (probably) slower cars, and in a few laps the faster pack is gonna be backing up behind them.
Might be a long day for the SC driver... |

Couple of driver opinions are up on speedcafe.
Point has been made about the "buffer" of lapped cars between say 1st and 2nd being removed after working ontrack to pass those cars and creating that buffer. But yeah, I'm more thinking how quickly the fast guys at the front will catch the slower cars and have to get passed them again. Not really fixing anything, only delaying the mix up of fast and slower drivers. |

They are certainly not going to be continuing at SC speed, or even close to, once they are waved past. |

Given the other options, would they have been preferable: Don't release the lapped cars, and be criticised for having them mixed with the faster cars on the re-start? Release the lapped cars, but keep the rest of the field behind the SC for longer and be criticised for holding up racing? |

...also, I wonder at what stage the unlapping cars are permitted to race 'each other', assuming there is more than 1 car unlapping itself?
