Safety Car Issues

Recommended Posts

Every time the safety car comes out it just ruins my entire race. The cars in front of me go really slowly and they don't catch up to the cars ahead and sometimes they even go more slowly and I'm just stuck behind. This really sucks because I just end up losing time to most of the cars ahead, its reached the point where I've just turned off the safety car. Is anyone else having the same issue? This really needs to be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Yeah safety car sucks big time because the AI will not get to the end of the queue.... They are driving too slow.

Also I think lapped cars may not overtake which is ruining the race.

I had qualified on pole at Hungary due to being the only car to jump out on options in p3 at the beginning, with rain starting as I started flying lap. Wasn't a great lap towards the end but had done enough while it was still dry that I had a second or two gap to the inters runners.

Started the race and there was an accident around end of lap 3. I dived into pits to fit the Medium compound to take me to the end of the race, but so did half the AI drivers.
I'm manor so pit box is 2nd last (just haas after manor?).

I saved as I entered pits (saw others recommend doing so)

I had a 2second gap in first when pitting yet I ended up exiting the pits 10th. The AI pit release is less cautious than that of the player, where they can release into about 2 or 3 car lengths space, for the Human driver, the pit crew will just hold you there looking for a 5 or 6 car length gap, so everyone else gets to drive out before the Human driver.

Luckily it only took me about 10 reloads of the mid session save as I pitted to finally get back out in first. Basically had to slightly cut the entrance to the pits and take that warning to make sure I kept enough of a gap to get back out in first.

I have also noticed that AI cars don't slow down quick enough when entering the pit lane and tend to be 2-4 MPH over the pit lane speed limit

I had this early today. 

SC comes out with 6 laps to go. I'm in 11 place. All the cars catch the safety car but the car in front of me goes really slow and doesn't catch, meaning we're way behind the queue and too far away for us to attack after the safety car comes in. 

It it did come in with 2 laps left and I was on faster tyres but because we were 8 seconds behind the queue when SC goes in, had no chance. 

Infuriating. 

Such a shame as these little bugs take away from an otherwise near perfect game
