AI drivers pass during safety car in the rain

Recommended Posts

This is the first time I've seen this, but I'd seen similar issues in previous patch notes and thought it was fixed.

Running Austria season 1, light rain, McLaren, made pole (low difficulty, no assistance) running in first.  Followed by Vettel, Bottas, Verstappen, Hamilton.
VET crashes out and draws a SC
As I approach the SC I slow down, and just before I pull in, BOT passes me at an impossible pace and magically stops right behind the SC (should be illegal pass)
When I approach to retake the spot, I get a no passing warning so I give the spot back. 
Half a lap later, VER passes me the same way, still under SC.  When I try to take the spot back, same thing happens: I get a warning
when I try to give the spot back, VER and HAM both pass me.
I get a radio message that says "we have been authorized to retake the position" so I move up and pass HAM.  The "give the spot back" warning appears on the screen again so I'm forced to give the spot back to HAM again regardless of the radio message.
When I give the spot back, I get the same radio message again, and when I try to retake immediately, I get the same warning to give the spot back again, so I gave up.  Then I was passed by OCO still under SC.
Luckily the SC went in on that lap and I didn't have anyone else pass me.

Is this a known issue that still hasn't been fixed? 

Let me know if any other details are needed.  I keep my Steam versions and software versions updated at all times.  Issue occurred approx 9:30pm pacific 12/21/17.  Apologies as my attempted recording of the replay was not successful.

Thank you for taking a look.

Found this in the 1.9 notes:

  • Player no longer told to catch SC when leading the race and already behind the SC.
  • Fixed an issue where the AI attempts to overtake a player with FW damage under SC conditions and then receive no penalties.
So it's worse maybe... they think they fixed it already.
