Yes? No?

Tks.
You can keep doing it the same way if you want. If you set failsafe to instant shutdown by closing the throttle, ECU will think/act just like you shut it down in the pits.

The rule for 2 second delay was added if you felt you needed it......in case you got a quick failsafe and did not want the motor to shut down
