Surely the easiest solution to the safety car problems arrising out of Bathurst is to allow teams to pit both cars at once?

Doesn't solve the problem of people breaking sector records under yellow flags to get back to the pits.

I'm not sure that any driver is going to follow the Debriss Directive if anybody else tries it on...

My view is to close the pit exit until the end of the safety car train passes each lap. So you can pit under safety car but you will go a lap down (or 1/2 lap if you use 2 safety cars). No benefit to pit under a safety car.

Also impose a set speed limit once the safety car enters the track (eg: max 3rd gear) with anyone breaking this suffering a drive through.

Similar to the system that sealed the fate of the two PJ Nissan's at the '87 JH1000 and handed Brock unassailable lead over them to ultimately some months later be awarded victory.

No thanks.

By train I guess we mean all cars on track in a tight formation line (regs say circa 5m between cars IIRC).
Surely your first paragraph won't work until the train has fully formed, and your second paragraph will probably prevent a train ever forming! Am I missing something?

My idea is say the safety car is doing 60km/h, you can only go a maximum of 100 km/h until you catch up with the train.

Forget the train.Code 60 and virtual safety car are the solutions.If a full course SC is needed -hopefully very rarely- then your idea could be used but there needs to be a set speed not a maximum one.
