F1 2011 Official Safety Car Thread

wrcstreet · Jun 24, 2011

i see some things on the internet where is standing that there is NO safety car in it.i hope you can still put it in the game.

There is indeed a SC sign, but then that just looks like scenery. The yellow flags waving are a nice addition, besides I think its already been confirmed that there will be no SC in game.

Couldn't care less if it is not there. As far as they have fuel sim and tyre sim applied to AI and not just me then I will definitely buy the game.

Same here. SC is no biggie for me.

There has been leaked acheivements form a press conference in Britain, one of them is to make a pit stop during a safety car period.

mechanical failures? lol that's gonna be a cock. imagine, you're on the last lap at 100% distance about to win it all, then your gear box stops working. Yeah that's gotta suck.

Hi, sc has to be in for the game to stand up to its title, f1 be the driver, live the life. For me any way.

Watched an Interview on Xbox Dashboard, said that there may be sc in game, just have to wait till september.

Andrew Shepherd · Jul 15, 2011

Looking at all the new features and improvements o think the SC could be buggy in game and bug the development team as well so i dont think it will be in.

Jason Lancett · Jul 16, 2011

oppurtunist, is a achivement in the game... do a pit stop under the safety car..

ozzie8 · Jul 16, 2011

If SC is to be implemented they should not appear in 20% or below races. I mean, the laps are too small that effects of SC is going to be too big to be game breaking... Imagine you chose to pit one lap later and that completely screws your race... whereas it is less likely to be in bigger distance races as you have more laps to catch up.

Wynterdust · Jul 16, 2011

Am I the only one tired of hearing about a safety car in 2011...? It's not even essential to making the game a good racer all it will do is cause possibly more bugs, a nightmare online with the bumper car drivers and it would rarely make an appearance unless you caused a massive pileup of which is completely pointless because you'd only be able to watch...not only that but I can guarantee after it comes out a couple of times people would just go "out again?...can I just race please?..." and turn it off again.
Seriously...it's really tiresome. Apologies for the rant but it's likely to be true.

Thats probably just scenery. If it was in the game then i might be a bit cautious about it first because as I said it's probably going to be full of bugs.

Bobby Englehart · Jul 16, 2011

didnt really prove safety car or not. but the suspension looks great.

rockster · Jul 16, 2011

I can see were your comming from but for purists its got to be in there with the option on or off. I do think it will be abused online but its got to be there.

Ben Jeffries · Jul 16, 2011

As far as the single player portion is concerned I think it is an essential part of gameplay, we have seen in races this year how influential the safety car can be and if your going to be living the life then it comes with the highs and lows imo. Personally I don't care if its in multiplayer or not as i'm not a big fan of multiplayer racers, as for the most part you cant just jump into a good race it needs to be organized but thats another can of worms.

Leonardo Chaves · Jul 16, 2011

To be honest, the safety car doesn't mean much in an F1 game imo(a Nascar game without it?? complete travesty...).
I can see why people want it, but not a big deal for me at all.
Given the option, i would force it come out once, just to see how it plays out, and turn it off... most probably.

just after the bit you mention if you look in the distance just as the renault exits the pits you will see a train of cars in the distance as if being held up by a safty car, it happens quick so you may need to pause to see it
