@seandamenacee4767  iirc, it was not only for safety after Austin Dillions crash from the July Daytona race, but it was to “balance the number of exciting finishes.”
So it was as if they were asking for a botched finish, and this is what we got.

Agreed, multiple GWC and drivers act stupid, and it just drags on forever…I’d much rather a race end at scheduled distance under yellow than to take 2 hours, 2 red flags and 3 GWC to finish, that’s just annoying.

Dale Jarrett fans can probably tell you how they felt about that.

We already crossed that bridge a long time ago, but to each their own.

I wouldn’t limit it too 3 at Road courses though. Just limit it to 1 at Daytona Talladega and Atlanta.

F1 can’t do GWC because of the no refueling rule. The closest thing they could do is to abuse the red flag rules like they did in Australia last year, but given how poorly it ended, I don’t think they’ll try it again soon.

They actually suspended the race clock for more than hour in Spa in 2021 citing force majeure, it’s just that visibility to start the race was never good enough. A better example of race clock messing up things is Suzuka 2022, as they could only do half ot the race (but to be fair, given how dark it was getting in the end, I think a red flag was near, clock or not).

Do one attempt, just one, then leave
