In the advanced group people got in the way still. A lot of driver skill/car capability disparity even in that group, no way are you going to ever get a bunch of people/cars who are going exactly the same rate around the circuit.
This event is for all skill levels, the last thing needed is anything that could risk in contact. The other aspect is we want people to feel comfortable on track so they can learn, car passing contradicts that. There is no live timing, you can pull off in the pits to give a gap. I am not sure I understand what you are saying, how can you have "no issues", but they say the advanced group got "in the way". I am sure I am misreading. I hope you understand the spirit of these events.
