Safety car shambles

I think that the limiter idea is the go but maybe mandating it by the end of the sector that each car is in when the SC boards come out - it would take some doing but that could be verified & allow each driver to safely reduce speed allowing for the circumstances that they are in.

Tourer, i had contemplated that concept.

I'm sure the engine management boffins could make it slowly drift into play over say 15 - 20 seconds, not just a snap, bang; 75KPH ?

This could even be preceded by 5 - 7 seconds of on-dash flashy yellow light, as a pre-warning, then the go-slow starts to kick in.

People cleverer that me will be able to make it work, I'm just an ideas man!

I have 1000's, and people have told me that sometimes, one of them actually makes sense !
