Why do people want a safety car? More still why on earth is it so important it's a deciding factor in whether you'll buy the game or not? Codemasters couldn't write the pit lane or penalty system properly, but they'll make a SC work? Even if they could, there are still much, much more important things than the SC (which will never be used online anyway) and podium celebrations etc.I'll buy 2011 regardless but I'll be looking for online player profiles and stat records*, replays, spectator modes etc before podium celebrations, parc ferme, SC and hemlemt designs.
*anything more than the irrelivant rank, XP and race wins would be like moving out of the stoneage.
