It's not just Indycar only though, the Blancpain GT use of yellows followed by a safety car is equally stupid. Just the reasoning behind it is different.

What? If anything the current FCY is an updated policy from the old CART and Holmatro safety crew days of them working under local yellows. Current safety rules just aren't going to allow the old ways of having unprotected safety workers on track if any part of the track is green. And given the near constant need for repairs on any trackside walls/barriers they will throw the yellows. That's never going to change because of modern outlook on safety and what they, as race control, have to do to provide for safe work areas. And Code 60 is BS, looks ridiculous and EVERY team cheats that system. It saves nothing for gaps as drivers on different sections of track are at a much greater penalty, the guy on the straights is screwed when it goes green so don't try to pretend it's fair, it isn't and it's club racing bull.
