New Rules

I'm glad to see that as I suggested on this blog a couple of months back, lapped cars will now be allowed to pass the safety car. This will ensure they don't get in the way during restarts and we should see closer more exciting racing after a safety car period.

I think the rule restricting drivers to only one change of direction to defend a position is also a good move. If a driver has the speed to get past a competitor it is only fair he should get pass without being unnecessarily blocked.
