Along with the rules Im starting to see a side of BTCC which I wish I hadn't in that situations are artificially created for the purpose of TV and the championship and thats a great shame as it dilutes the credability of the sport.

Yes overtaking can resume once the yellow flags have been withdrawn.

Maybe the answer is to reduce the need for the safety car by a rigorous clampdown on driving standards?

Perhaps if they hadn't had wasted 34 laps?! on a 10 car Porsche race there would be more time in the schedule to do other stuff like put out safety cars.

If drivers understood what the flags meant (instead of thinking they are fluttering bunting) then there wouldn't need to have as many safety car interruptions as marshals could work safely at the trackside. It might even make more realist TV coverage |
