Safety cars at race meetings
Does anyone agree that safety cars at race meetings are becoming a pain in the ar$e and spoil the race meeting. I have just returned from the
BTCC's at Brands and every incident, however small, out would come the SC board and car. This is happening more and more at all events I attend
including F1. I used to be a marshall and we would work quite safely under yellow waved flags, drivers knew what they mean't and would drive
accordingly. As a competitor I also know what a waved yellow flag means (Danger ahead be prepared to stop) and adjust my driving speed. Cars/bikes
these days travel roughly at the same speeds still but now have better brakes and handling. Is this just another example of over cautious health &
safety or am I missing the point somewhere. Barry

With regards to just todays incidents, they were simple spin offs into the gravel trap and easily dealt with by the marshalls.
