Red flag improvements

I know we havent even seen the red flags ingame but going by what was announced so far this is a list of things that would improve it IMO:

  • Let players drive their cars back to the pits on immersive mode (and out of them if that is also not an option yet)
  • Give more reasons for red flags, not only debris and too much rain like:
    • Poweroutage like in Monaco 2022 (at least that was what i heard was the reason and makes sense when no electronic from race control work) but only with something like a 0.1% chance to happen
    • Animals on track - we see this happen most often in Canada and this one should be restricted to certain tracks (not Miami or Vegas for example) but stubborn animals on track might actually lead to red flags, although i cant remember a recent example, id go with a 0.25% chance to happen on the specific tracks
    • Fog - also on specific tracks, but Nürburgring is always happy to deliver that, some others might aswell, low chance to happen though, also like 0.25% maybe
    • Dont know if track repairs were named in the trailers but its an obvious reason
  • All the causes should be announced to the player by the race engineer in immersive mode and by a little video intermission with commentary from Crofty in broadcast mode, like showing the damage to the walls and such

If others have more ideas for this please add them 🙂

    No.  But it’s what happens when there’s a red flag.  Doesn’t matter how far behind.  At race restarts you all restart on same lap

    @ScarDuck14Only cause it happens IRL it doesnt need to happen ingame.. I hope they do it that way but i wouldnt guarantee it, also its only allowing 1 lap not all the laps you are behind Iirc..

    Did you accidentally accept my post as solution? :P
