Longer than probably even 3-5 years ago. Basically ever since delta times came in. Not complaining about delta times myself obviously more that when cars are allowed to unlap for me that is usually when the track is safe. So let them go at full pace (or near full pace bar the sector of the incident was), bar the exception of wet weather conditions and then let the SC in at the end of the following lap.




Just feels like they never seem to catch up these days (or take far longer)
