AI Safety Car Pit Strategy

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed strange behavior with AI pit stops under the safety car?  Two races now I've had a safety car come out in the first couple of laps, and my engineer will recommend a new pit strategy to take advantage of the safety car, but the AI never seems to change their strategy.  Today I was racing in Baku, had a safety car on the first lap (25% race) and changed my pit strategy to pit on lap 2 under safety car, but no AI pitted and then as soon as we went back to green flag racing almost the entire field pitted, leaving me miles out in front.  Is this a bug, or something else.

Yeah, I've had that happen quite a few times. For me the safety car is just not worth having when it's so buggy. Sometimes the leader will just stop dead in their tracks behind the car and he'll ghost and get passed by dozens of other cars, which for some reason don't get penalized. Also the SC comes out for the most minor things. One time Massa just spun off the track, no damage and no other collisions, not even any retirements, yet the SC came out. It's too buggy to bother with. 

I recommend turning SC off.

Yep, bringing the SC after a car spun is really annoying

I think the SC should only come out when a car retires near the track. If there is only debris on the track, VSC.
