@W2 that is so cool you get to talk to your grandpa about racing. He seems into the sprints, short tracks, and such. Probably a good direction to take him with road racing is GT World challenge europe sprint series and DTM. Might suit his style more than endurance races, which has more of a niche audience.
And since this is a thread about racing procedures and regulations, I wonder why no series has ever decided to run to differnet procecures for caution periods in an endurance race vs a sprint race (sub 3 hours races). What the SRO does is fine for shorter races. Its only in the endurance events where it rears its ugly head.
I like what DTM does in that if there is a safety car period in any of their 55 minute races. They add 3 laps to the end after the clock hits 0, no matter what.
