Leaders don't pit under Safety car

Recommended Posts

1.       I play 75-90 AI with 25 or 50% races and for the third time I experienced very strange behaviour of AI's. First two races were 25% with Safety Car on, the safety car was deployed at the exact moment, when leaders (lets say top 5) were already behind the pit entrance (on a main straight or first corner) and rest of the grid was in front of pit entrance. What is important to say, that the SC was deployed in the middle of a race, maybe 1-2 laps before the pit windows would have opened for all cars. In that situation, mid-field cars take this SC as an opportunity to pit, but the leaders have to go one full lap before they can pit. As I said before, they would have to pit in a few laps anyways, so they should go around the lap, pit and maybe lose couple of positions at max. But they don't, they stay on the track, catch SC, wait for SC to end  (usually 2 laps) and after the race is on again, they go into the pits in first possible lap under green flags. It's a short race and once they make the stop, they are 20+ seconds behind the pack and unable to catch them until the rest of the race. I will add screenshots of that two races where either Stroll or MyTeam car won the race thanks to this issue. 

This also happened in 50% but just with one car, that was 6th in front of me, so I cannot really confirm it on 50% races yet.

8.       Screenshots of those two races attached, British GP are only results (and I crashed so that's why I am so low), French GP are results + gameplay moment (first lap after SC ended, the leaders are pitting)

The AI-Strategy-Logic in Safety Cars Situations is broken for years. I have already given up hope that the AI strategy logic will ever be improved in safety car situations.

Only Solution : Turn the Safety Car OFF.

Unfortunately you are right. The safety car feature is broken for years including pit strategies. CM won’t give any reply to your request because they know they cannot do anything this year to fix this (too many things to fix like when SC is out, unlapping SC and pit strategies among others).

All we can do is hoping CM will work seriously on this next year.
