I am sure the concept of safety cars and how/if they could be implemented has been thrown around plenty, but I think it’s more than time to institute this for the interest of those showing up to races and managing live during them.
I love the idea of in-race management but it gets incredibly stale once the cars spread out. Pit stop strategies take very little thought, so I’m just kinda watching instead of managing. What would throw all of this on its head would be safety cars. They don’t have to be for any real reason, just having a small percent chance of one coming out, so that every couple races we see one, would be FANTASTIC!
This would mean real-time decisions would be required. I get most do their manager tasks when they have time and then check back for race results, but wouldn’t having an extra reason to draw managers into the races live be a good thing?
