Your theory that a WRC driver at 11/10s on the same course magically makes them safer than the 17 year old is the perfect example.
A WRC driver is likely to being going twice as fast and if he does have an off it is likely to be spectacular. This is potentially as big if not a much bigger danger than a 17 year old getting a little sideways going 1/2 the speed but still on course.
You are making a biased judgment of the drivers, not about the overall safety of the course which is what your job is. Make the course safe for ALL competitors.

The overall safety of the course is inherently tied to the drivers running on that course. If one driver, for whatever reason (skill, car, driving style, etc) isn't safe on the course, then the course isn't safe, which gives the SSS all the impetus needed to request that the event staff correct the situation for face event termination.
If you have a SSS that's abusing their power, then you protest the event, and have the national office drop that SSS's license and invalidate the event's results.
