F1 2018 - Will we get a functioning, working safety car?

Seems like you should be able to answer now since everyone is not allowed to show videos on youtube of the game.

That is some strange logic.

True, the answers are ignored - everyone sees it. By the way, I would love to see the video myself
I create rocket league items videos by myself and I trade with crates and keys.

Today they have added a new Elevation Crate - whenever I have a need to buy cratezs it is found on Odealo and I buy there. Elevation Crate just added, I do not know what items can be found in them, but now they will be the most expensive Rocket League items at all. For sure when you want to buy a crate or item and you have such a choice, the crate itself will not be the cheapest, but it will be cheaper than the most valuable items.

I am sure that professional Rocket League players put a lot of knowledge about where I buy Rocket League items and Crates https://odealo.com/games/rocket-league

Whilst yes it would be good to get some definitive answers on Codies intentions with the safety car, you do have to bare in mind that all of the YouTube footage we’ve seen so far is technically “pre-release” footage and I’m sure the base game on the discs are also from an earlier build of the game from weeks ago.
It’s a bit unfair to chastise Codies just yet until the day one patch rolls out. If the safety car still isn’t behaving itself after Friday then fair enough and the criticisms will be justified.

This mean the NDA is lifted at this point isn't it?

“pre-release” footage or as I like to say: F1 2017 ver 1.13 :D :D :p

I get you, but looking back at previous games, I wouldn't say it's unfair...

[Cap10 23]

having a safety car anyway is kind of  pointless as debris don't really affect anything if you run over them risk or damaging car/puncture ect...
to have a use for safety car there would have to be track marshals that go's on track to recover debris push car or tow truck/crane to recover cars.

I do agree, last years game within a few days of release I was so annoyed and wound up when the safery car bugs destroyed a few races, got to the point where I’d literally be hitting the mid session save every 10 seconds of gameplay just anticipating something to screw me over. 
Like everyone I do hope there aren’t those issues again repeated this year but I don’t think it’s quite fair to right it off completely based on a few pre-release videos. After Friday then by all means :D

Yes, I saw this phenomenon occur on one of the Youtubers (Jimmy Broadbent's) videos, from a few days ago. 

When was this screenshot captured?  Just wondering if the latest patches have taken care of this.

It was a livestream which took place 10 minutes ago...

@MichaelRacing Well that's disappointing. This problem has been around a while.  DO we know what caused the SC?  Was it Vettel going slowly?  He'd almost made it back to the pits when it was triggered.  It's cool that the AI can have mechanical failures that allow them to limp back to the pits though, rather than just pulling over all the time.  It's all for nought if the fundamentals of the game don't work though.

EDIT:  Faya has just said that a fix is in tomorrow's patch for PC & PlayStation.  Fingers crossed.

 and what with that patch??? Hahahaahahahah

[Gunnar20 0]

Is there anyone that can explain the rules of the SC deployment, please.

I was catching my team mate but got overtaken by a Vettel, who also passed a few other cars in front of me that I was gaining on.  Then the SC was deployed, and Vettel who was leading the race fell in behind it, and the 7th, 8th, 9th and me in 10th were behind him in the queue. Whilst we were following Vettel, my team mate (Sainz) in 6th could just run away to catch up our queue.
My question is, shouldn't the 7th, 8th, 9th and me 10th be allowed to pass Vettel and the SC, as technically we have been penalised, and my team mate was now not far behind me, nearly a lap ahead by the time the SC car pulled in. Worse to follow was that the cars in 2nd, 3rd and 4th were right behind me so I had to slow down and let them pass. Grrrrrr

Any improvement in the patch or is it still the same? I've noticed the safety car only deploys when more than one car is involved.
