Issue Detail

• Race started with human players 2th/3th/4th/5th/11th
• Collision between two human players on first lap on corner 2
• No yellow flag
• Race continued without issue for ~7 laps
• AI Driver (Bottas) racing behind me (Force India)
• Bottas went from racing pace to very slow pace (circa 50mph)
• Other AI drivers reduced speed.
• For the rest of the race AI drivers were driving at severely reduced pace, switching between ghost / non ghost

To summarise the AI's behaviour, they were driving at a pace consistent with a safety car on track, but without the safety car being present.

@F1Support - Any acknowledgement would be nice

@F1Support - Seems to be a common issue amongst multiple threads

@F1Support After the effort formatting this post to comply with the requirements the least someone can do is acknowledge it.

Has anyone else seen this happen? Have you had this happen in more than one race @DiscoDave?

Same thing happened in Austria. Same configuration as in the original post.

Anything?

People take the effort to document and record bugs for Codemasters, just to be ignored. It's a pretty poor way to treat your customers.

Given you're bumping of the thread I take it you're still seeing this in patch 1.7 with some regularity? Have you seen the same issue if you turn off the Formation Lap and / or Safety Car or is that not something you have tried. Have you noticed damage on the AI cars (I don't think it will be this because they would pit and repair it or retire but you never know).

The group I race with have given up playing and unless this issue appears in patch notes (1.6 and 1.7 do not mention addressing this issue) then we will just assume it's still present.
