Is the safety car really needed?

Recommended Posts

Understanding that it was a feature in past games but my experience with safety cars is the game getting bugged and dqing me or a teamate for running up the butt of the car or driving to slow...formation lap is another thing that simply wont work as intended in a game...most drivers will simply end up overshooting or undershooting the grid line and end up with penaltys.....i say fix the online first and ..ditch the hoppers go back to the old lobbies

Totally agree with you i dont care really that much about the safety car because it was not coming so often but it would be good if they added it in but still i dont think i care if they have it in...about the formation lap its something new i am dissapointed that they didnt added it...Agree with you they must fix the multiplayer get rid of those hoppers and add LEADERBOARDS OR RANKING FFS

Well  as there is a safety car in real life  F1 then YES they should have one in the game if CM carry on taking stuff out all you will have is THURSDAY'S  WALK  round the track   ...

it should have a safety car ... doing a 100% race in monaco with cars crashing and staying in the middle of the road, with the AI not overtaking them because there are yellow flags .. ridiculous no?

Considdering I've seen the safety car all of 5 times in previous games. I'd say I'm not missing much.

I prefer them fixing core gameplay issues like the AI behaviour under lapping. Let them first get to grips with that before adding new features (if any new features are still added to 2015...).

I can see peoples point when they say it didnt come out much in previous games so is it needed but for me personaly that was the problem! I know most wont miss it as they never saw it anyway but I did have a few and it really does make for a more exiting race Imo (strategy) I dont like the fact it isnt in the game but with the damage model being so poor it would prob still never come out anyway lol! I dont get the fix online first attitude as its clear the F1 series isnt a popular online game (apart from league racing) It never has been so dont see that changing any time soon. From this forum and youtube its clear that people enjoy single player more  so fixes shouldnt be ignored just so ppl can have 4 players race in a lobby. Im not saying dont fix online but dont think everything else should take a back seat for online to be sorted thats all.

I agree there should be a safety car, but at this point there are MUCH bigger issues with this game.

Formation lap is a bit pointless really. It has no bearing on the race, so why bother? The argument that says if it's in F1 it should be in the game, is not relevant as I'm sure no one wants to have to do post race interviews (which is in F1) for 2 hours after the GP.

I think safety car is needed, at least the virtual one, because that how it is in real life and as I know the are trying to make the game as similar as they can to real life, as they did with engine power, setups and other stuff.

Also safety car can really change the race, once your are P10 and after the safety car you get the chance to get to podium.

You havent been on here much then no :) we had them and people do want them back for some reason lol! It added something but gave nothing, same as the podiums Imo. As for the formation lap if the starts were done right then the formation lap has a huge bearing on the race, It means the difference of the tyres and brakes being to cold/warm for the start. Its not at the top of my wishlist  but it would defo add something to the race Imo.
