Can you unlap yourself on the new f1 22 under safety car ?

It doesn't matter if a 5 lap race, 50% or 100% race distance IT SHOULD BE IN THE GAME! And sorry to be honest again, but the real Michael Masi in F1 games is the game director Lee Mather. It's time to say goodbye to him..... EA SPORTS IT SHOULD BE IN THE GAME 😜

If the safety car in the track just after the leader lap you and you're the only one who is lapped, you can retire because after restart, the 18 other cars will lap you and you will have one lap between you and the car ahead instead of few seconds before the SC.Sorry, I've no idea what post of mine you're responding to there. In case you don't know how to quote, once you've clicked reply on a post, you then just need to click on the Quote button at the top right of the screen.Is what you're describing something you've seen in pre-launch F1 22 footage that is new? Do you have a link you could share if it is? I don't really follow what you're trying to describe to be honest.I think he is trying to say that when the safety car is coming to an end, if you are behind the leader, but a lap down, you will get blue flags for the whole field to overtake you.therefore you might aswell retire becasue your race is f…….

@Ultrasonic_77 I answer to your message when you said lapped cars isn't a problem since there are ghosted.ajobling1983 perfectly complemented my message.It's very common if you have damage after a terrible start and have to go to pit at the end of the first lap. During a 5 laps race, you don't care because the race is already f... up with the bad start... but during a 50% or 100% length race when you play online in private with friends, it's very frustrating since you don't want to leave already... Then, since 2 years, there is no possibility to restart the last session instead of the full event anymore and there is no reason why Codemasters remove this feature from private league except promote their open broken ranked online multiplayer mode...

@ajobling1983Yes that a pre release build. So things can change.Plus with the fact the ruling has now changed that all lapped cars must be unlapped before racing resumes, this should be shown on the game to follow the rules like they have done before.

@duelcoot I think this will be cool. We need this in the game. For leagues, for careers

@SteveJackson Agreed for league racing this is a must.

@duelcoot From the brief sc footage I’ve seen it appears not and that was the immersive option

I've seen at least one gameplay video with a safety car but I recall no mention of cars unlapping themselves. There may have been none to unlap of course. Personally I'll be surprised if we find this is in the game.
From a game perspective it's not the same issue as it is in real life if lapped cars are ghosted.

@Ultrasonic_77 Unfortunately there was because the YouTuber made the “Abu Dhabi comment

To be bluntly honest, I don’t think that will ever happen. It’s been six 👿 years.

Possibly you were taking my figure of speech literally actually? By 'no mention of' I meant no examples of cars unlapping themselves or someone saying that this would now be a feature. Have you seen otherwise?

@Ultrasonic_77 I have. https://youtu.be/6I144UA2eM4 Around 9:32 you see Bottas who is out of position. My comment about the Abu Dhabi was around the safety car drama
