Sebring

Help me understand. I'm watching the race and have tried to watch most of the races the last few years, and have attended the last 2 races at Laguna Seca. Since it became the Tudor series I have a complaint regarding yellows. Just saw the Aston Martin loose a wheel and spin and the result was 15 minute caution! It happens all the time now and makes me wonder what ever happened to local yellows? I enjoy the racing but 15 minute full cautions for a car to be removed seems excessive. Safety should always be first, but I still don't like it. Do a local yellow, get the car out of there, and keep racing. Please understand that I believe in full yellows, but not for everthing.

I agree with you. Problem is with everything today is they need to account for the least common denominator. i.e. that idiot rookie driver that gets too excited and blows through the local yellow and slams into a stationary car because he didn't see it.

Lame, but that is the way the world works now.

Given the number of times it's happened last couple of years and not just with rookie drivers, I'd say that it makes perfect sense.

Hey, you don't have to be a rookie - Tracy Krohn's been taking out competent drivers left & right for years....

Heck, just look at what happened in F1 last year.

If you notice, most cautions happen early in a race, when the less financially challenged drivers are running. When it's go time, and the guys who are being paid are in the cars, there are far less yellows.
