I am going to be the dissenting opinion here. It only takes one aggressive fool to spoil it for the rest of the group. I have been in upper run groups with other regions and have been blacked flagged the first lap because someone went off. (Both times this was the second day of the weekend) Lost most of that session. I see no harm in driving one lap under yellow for the first session of each day to make sure the car is right, the driver gets warmed up and the tires and brakes are ready to perform. The yellow is just a little extra reminder to be smart and safe. I don't think the people participating in this forum are the ones the yellow will help but some people need the reminder. And its sure beats having the session black flagged.
