F1 2017 Major Safety Car Glitch (PS4)

Recommended Posts

Regular PS4 old model 500gb Career Mode, Race 2 AI Setting 79 Game version 1.5
A very annoying bug/glitch. Career Mode Chinese GP in a McLaren-Honda. 50% Race distance. After qualifying 7th, the race started in inters conditions, then torrential rain then back to inters. Running 3rd just past half distance when the safety car came out due to Vettel retirement from 1st place. I pitted the following lap for inters and after emerging from the pits in 4th place, my engineer told me I was too far behind!! The leaders were over half a lap ahead and didn't appear to be slowing down. Despite driving like a madman to catch up, I wasn't making a dent in the other cars ahead... I received 3 consecutive drive through penalties then was disqualified for falling too far behind!!! How am I supposed to catch the pack when they don't appear to be slowing down? A lot of AI cars retired, but were not disqualified like I was!!! Very annoying.

What happened to me was very similar to what happens here in Aarava's video about 20 mins in, except I got 3 drive through penalties then black flagged https://youtu.be/qIEZH9FvRyc

I had the same situation in career 50% race was in second place did a pit for fresh tyres when i came out the pit i got the message to catch up or i would get a penalty for more then 10 car lengths between me and the sc. this was impossible to do because they were halfway around the track

ended up getting a drive through penalty but didnt stop because by this time the race was only 2 more laps. so finished second but ended up in 17th
