Please Change the Regularity of Rain with Safety Car

I have just finished Season 4 of my Driver Career (Full Practice, Full Qualifying, Full Race Distances), and I can count on one (1) hand how many times I've seen the Safety Car deployed in four (4) Seasons, ...however the Rain appears every other race weekend 😬

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.

FYI: During the entire (real) 2025 Formula 1 Season the VCS was activated 13 times, and the Safety Car was deployed 26 times.

...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?

    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.

    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.
