Please Change the Regularity of Rain with Safety Car

How do you set your mechanical failures?

I'm not at my PS5 at the moment, but I have set my mechanical failures to nil. 

I assume that the setting of mechanical failures refers to me, ...not the other (AI) cars.

I see other (AI) cars fail, or stop, on or near the track, during races all the time, ....but in these situations the Safety Car is rarely deployed. 

"I have Safety Car set to STANDARD, and Red Flags set to STANDARD also. I initially had this set to INCREASED, but it didn't seem to increase anything.

...in 4 Seasons of my (game) Driver Career I've seen the Safety Car deployed only 5 times 😒

Are there others here who are experiencing the same lack of Safety Car deployments as me?" 

So, ...absolutely no one else here experiences this? 🤔

Okay then, ...I'll delete & re-load the game, and start over with settings. Maybe that will help get the Safety Car out of Pit Lane during a Driver Career Grand Prix.

Okay, ...this will be my final post / comment (whinge) on this lack of Safety Car deployment during a Driver Career.

I've just completed Season 5 of my Driver Career. I play with FULL everything, and I even INCREASED Safety Car & Red Flags for Season 5.

Guess how many Safety Cars were deployed during the ENTIRE Season 5 of my Driver Career?

None, ...Zero, ...Zip, ...Naadda, ...Nil, ...Sweet FA, ... During Season 5 of my Driver Career I only saw one (1) VSC 😏 I even got excited as I thought that the VSC may trigger a Safety Car, ...but... 😞

This is beyond frustrating...

Oh!, ....and in Career Mode why does it regularly (constantly) RAIN ? 😬

I've been real patient with F1-25, ...but these ongoing issues are forcing me to shelve it for a while...

What length of races are you using? I noticed a lot more safety cars when my knees got healthy enough to increase the race length from 25% to 35% races.

Hi OpeSneakPast,

I use Full Practice, Full Qualifying, and Full Race Distances (100%). 

I have always used 100% full race distances with all my F1 games, as I LOVE the racing strategy involved which includes pit stops and, where required, ...Safety Cars... 

As others don't seem to have my lack of Safety Car issue, I'm just placing my personal experience down to an unfortunate, isolated, event. Too Bad, ...so Sad for me... (this game is still shelved at my place).  

I should have mentioned that I only do custom races. I know there was a problem last year with mid-race saves for 100% races on the PS5, so maybe 100% races are a challenge for the PS5 operating system. I recently have fallen in love with the Power Pack DLC endurance races on the Playstation-only Gran Turismo 7 and the mid-race save feature is significantly worse than F1's mid-save feature. (Don't worry EA and Codemasters, I will still buy your game every year for the exclusive circuits like Qiddiya!) 

So, it might be impossible for EA and Codemasters to make 100% races in career mode work well on the PS5. Maybe you have to compromise with 50% races. Or maybe just wait until 2027 comes out. I've heard rumors they might be using a new game engine, but for obvious reasons it's way too early for EA and Codemasters to confirm these rumors.
