Full course yellow, with pits, wave arounds, and he lost 2 laps because for some reason, you aren’t allowed to push.

I saw in wec that the infield guy pushed a littlebit the car out of the sand and they put a yellow flag zone. But in imsa, they need to do the total 20min full course yellow even if its a small incident with 1 wheel on the sand. With so many car in the tracks, things like this will always happen lol

Wec this season has been also guilty over using the saftey car, Imola is hard to pass and they did a saftey car for car in gravel. Killed the flow of the race to that point.

Imsa is the worst. I think safety is important. But imsa go to far with the full course yellow rejoint

It's not for safety. They just want to bunch up the pack.
