Hopping over from the Bathurst chat.
They have found a great compromise for safety car period pit lane access.
The pit lane never closes, including under SC conditions.
Everyone lines up behind the SC with the race leader at the front of the queue.
Anyone who has been lapped may then move out of the queue to attempt to regain a lap but they are only given about a third of a lap headstart before the pack is released again. If you're slow you get lapped again, as god intended.
No delays, no closed pits with emergency refuels, no regulations saying who can pit in what order, SC withdrawn when the incident is cleared, MORE RACING LESS TWATTING ABOUT IN RACE CONTROL.
