Safety car question

Recommended Posts

hello, 
looking for advice regarding a safety car incident. I was racing with my Sauber in Career Mode (Season 2, Australia, 90 AI), and on lap 45 the safety car was deployed. I went straight into the pits for a new set of Ultrasoft tyres. After this I was last an catching up to the safety car cue. When I arrived, the teamradio told me I should pass Ocon, who was one lap ahead, and a couple of other cars. I did so, and in the next turn, Ocon ran straight into my back, while trying to overtake me. In the end I got a penalty (5sec stop and go) and he didn’t. So my question to you experts, did I do something wrong by overtaking him, if yes, what should I have done instead? Greetings

It could be (yet) a(nother) glitch. Sometimes your engineer tells you to pass someone when you have no right to. That's happened to me on several occasions.

The problem sounds like something to do with the AI speeds during the Safety Car period. I've had the same thing in Russia but passed the AI cars and safety car fine with no problems/penalties. Just keep checking your mirrors so that you're not directly in front of the AI and stay off the racing line.

This bug has been around for ages. The whole safety car thing is just broken and doesn't look at this stage like it's ever going to be fixed.

So yes for the first time I have activated the safety car during a 25% race (I am casual player so just realized I had this option to off. I had a VSC and my car became ghost for a certain period of time. Understand this is a glitch (by reading, I do not think I am the only one. Do we know I this time what can cause this. Any way around that you guy doing now to reduce this thing to happened or to mitigate (other than turning it back off?
