Safety Car Being Deployed

Recommended Posts

Is it me or can anybody else witness a major crash in the game and for nothing to happen in regards to a Safety Car? A car can be stranded, after an engine blowout or collision, and no safety car is deployed. Personally, I feel like the Safety Car should be deployed more as its not just more realistic, but can mix up the grid and make the game even more enjoyable to play.

They've said that whether or not the SC deploys is somewhat random this year, regardless of the severity of the incident. From the feedback on here, it sounds like that isn't really working out too well, though.

The virtual safety car needs to be used a lot more, I've just completed Baku in my 1st season and not had 1 yet.

Funny because I have just finished Russia and in every race there has been a SC or VSC

Make sure it's switched on, it defaults to off.

To be 100% fair, they said the same in previous titles. And it barely ever came out, before the patch safety car was fine. Now its broken.

We need the preview beta version of the safety car back. That looked epic and would drastically improve the enjoyment and realism.

Seems fine for me. Some races it comes out, some it doesn't. Safety car saved my race at Spain in career mode. Haven't had the VSC yet though.

I have only started my season doing 100% races and in Australia i saw 2 VSC and in Bahrain an accident mid race half a lap behind me got the safety car out. So far so good but like i said i have only done 2 races.

I think it's fine as it is. I'm 3 races into my career and seen the SC once in my first race. If it's out too often it will become boring stuck behind SC all the time. Would much rather be racing.

I feel that in the pre-build it was deployed too often, but CM toned it out too much where you never see it in the final game. Hopefully CM will release a patch where they split it in the middle.

I'm doing a multiplayer championship and in 6 x 25% races last night at least one of us crashed heavy enough for a VSC or SC to come out, it never did and I've got it set to on (before anyone asks)

So far I've had the safety car out three times, each time for what seemed to be a minor situation (car slid off somewhere far clear of the track, like after the straights on Australia and Azerbaijan), whereas several incidents that had seemed much more severe seemed to get resolved in a somewhat more automagical fashion...

Eh, I like that it's in (nearly had a heart attack the first time I saw it, it popped up right in front of me and I passed it and I panicked.. but I was supposed to.. breathe.. breathe..), but it does seem a bit random.

Safety car is just fine the way it is, most of you seem to be doing short race distances which hardly gives time for incidents to occur, try racing on 100% I've had 3 safety cars in one race and a virtual safety car in the second race an that's after a restarted career, my first 3 races I did on my first career before I decided to switch teams an up the difficulty had safety car in each race

I had 4 races in my career at 50% and havent seen the safety car. Did see some major accidents happen though where irl the safety car surely would have been deployed.

I had 2 vc's but the pace I had to drive was almost racepace.

I had a good few safety cars before the patch. Might this have something to do with it?


Agreed,

Since the patch yesterday I've noticed cars are bunching a lot closer under Safety Car, Unlike before when only half the pack would catch up to the Safety Car.

Not sure if it has been patched but something has changed from last week.
