Safety Cars?

Recommended Posts

Is anyone else still not seeing safety cars? I changed my damage from full to simulation in China and I am now in Spain. I have seen several 'Severe' crashes that I feel should have produced one.

Yes, always not SC, even had big crash in the middle of track.

Btw, CM just ban me, made my comments can't make the post on the top of forums. So Despicable!

I've had a few virtual's but not a full safety car yet but I'v been running without damage on so that's likely why was thinking of turning damage on for my next season though for a bit more of a challenge

Anyone on PC still not seeing them? I have not seen one. 
 

well I'm on PC so I think I'llsee them once I turn damage on but I've not raced with damage on yet but as I've said I've had about 7/8 VSC's without damage so I think there's a chance I could see a SC at some point when I turn damage on. But I'm not playing the game atm as I'm busy playing one of my other games and taking a short breather from 2016 but I do intend to get back to it once I'm done with my current game.

Xbox one, legend AI and simulation damage. I've seen quite a few safety cars in career and quick races. More at the start of my career but not so many in recent races. It seems fairly consistent so far. I've only had two VSC's though.

I'm on PC and I've had 5 SC's & about 3 or 4 VSC's. I'm up to the US grand prix in my first season

50% races, hard level, damage on sim. Just finished Suzuka GP yesterday where I had the last SC

I had at least one SC deployed in each of my last 6-7 races and it ruined quite a few of them for me. IMO, it's pointless to spend 3-4 laps behind SC on 50% race length because AI often uses it to complete a one-stop strategy, which results in the likes of Gutierrez ending up on the podium. I would happily accept that if it happened occasionally, but it's the case in every second race. Moreover, I had SC deployed even after minor accidents when both drivers were able to go back to track and continue racing right away. Maybe the time SC stays on track should be adjusted to race length not to allow unrealistic strategy change.

Since the patch i did 3 races 50% in my career on xbox one, 1sc and 2 vsc till now after the patch, now busy on my fourth race, no sc or vsc till now. I think the balance is okay! Not too much and not to less

Legend AI, no assists, simulation damage and I've just completed Spanish gp. Haven't had a safety car as yet in my career

Before the patch i had two VSC's and two SC's in 14 races in my 1st career mode season. Since the patch i've had 4 SC's and no VSC's in the remaining 7 races of the season. First 3 races i did after the patch i had no SC's but then 4 races in a row i got a safety car. 

So yeah definitely seeing it more since the patch, bit annoying having it come out in the last four races but it's good to actually see the Safety Car without having to cause it myself like in previous games.
