It's maddening, isn't it? A safety car is a valid response in certain circumstances. A long debris field to clear or a major barrier repair that requires track workers to actually be on the track means having the field bunched behind one or more safety cars is safer than having them continually driving by at 80kph. It's driven by necessity and it should be used when it's appropriate. But to then use it as a way of manipulating track position... For 'The Show'... Ugh.
Also, if it is for the show, do they really want a new audience, drawn in by the New Golden Age, to have to endure the misery of a half hour long, IMSA-like SC procedure?
