Yep, I understand and support the need for the safety car but I think that the needs and expectations of the paying spectators needs to be considered also. It probably is but it's not always obvious. We all know that spectator numbers are already practically non existent and the sport doesn't want to lose any more of a dwindling resource. Last Saturday I reckon that if you removed all the crews and supporters from the 'crowd', there wouldn't have been that many people left. It must be very difficult for the organisers [and a considerable financial risk] to promote a motor racing event these days, and I take my hat off to them and to all of the volunteers that enable the event to take place. But there's always room for improvement and sometimes little things make a huge difference.
I hope Roger Williams can get "Old Blue" back in action this weekend. I saw John Greenwood racing his "Spirit of '76" at Le Mans in 1976. It was amazingly quick.
Looking forward to seeing a full grid of ERC competitors.
