johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The biggest indictment in my mind has been the lack of penalties for crashes behind the safety car, I can think of 1 in V8SC and have seen a few in coverage of FFord. How about even looking at lap times of those catching up to “the train” after a pit stop – how many of those would be at race pace?

I like Rombles’ idea of a speed limiter, perhaps it would be possible to combine this with a Speedway style light on the dash which indicates when the driver must activate the speed limiter, eg what track segment or perhaps activated by short-range transmitters at that segment. This could include having a couple of speed options as mentioned.

I am sure a system along these lines would be possible, which would allow for less SC intervention, less lost race time and less disruption of positions and margins.
