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

No its not in the game. I’ve seem one of ben daley’s videos, he was a lap down under safety car & the game didn’t let him unlap 🤷🏼♂️
@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.
- @Dansmotorsport While i agree that it should be in the game i dont see the necessaty based on last year.. It was always handled as "all cars need to be unlapped" aside of Abu Dhabi and there are plenty of rules not implemented properly or factually wron in the game soo meh.. It should be in but a lot of things need to be adressed
@Meza994That’s where your wrong pal. The rules stated it was down to the race directors discression as to weather lapped cars will be allowed to unlap themselves or not. This is the reason why codemasters took it out the game. With the ruling changed and now stating that all Lapped cars must be unlapped before racing resumes there is no excuse to bring this back into the game like it was before.
All I’m asking is for someone in the team to confirm/deny if this is going to be in the game.As I’m sure 90% of the people that race in leagues want this back in the game
- @Dansmotorsport Not only league racers would like it generally it would improve immersion but its not as easy as you claim with the rules..
Its not always all cars and i cant find a line in the sporting regulations that says the race director is forced to let all cars unlap themselfes if there is a safety car. It says that IF he lets cars unlap it must be all lapped cars that unlap. But in no way i found the statement that lapped cars must always unlap themselfes..
Obviously it would be very nice to know if it will be in the game but id doubt it, none the less confirmation by Codemasters would be a good thing!
Last thing, in which F1 game was unlapping a genuine thing? Like working in career mode etc. too? Just curious because i cant remember if it ever was but i havent played all games so can likely be wrong!

If it were to be in the game, dont you think it would have been in the preview build so people could test it?
- @Meza994 Think it was 16 or 17 might if even been 18.
It was definitely a thing, I remember it happening - @ajobling1983 Not necessarily as it’s a pre release build for content creators to get there feeling on it and get some footage of the game out there (building the hype). The finished product still has way more to add to it from that version hence why it’s pre release.

Yes the may be little tweeks here and there, cosmetic things or small changes to A.I etc….
but something as big is this, i doubt it mate. Happy to be proved wrong as i would like it in the game…
Can anyone remember the last time we had this feature?
- @ajobling1983 just this year with F1 22, mate. David Greco mentioned in his video with Alex Gillon that the "biggest change" made to the whole handling this year in his opinion was the one made to the transmission and it wasn't present at all on the preview build.
He also mentioned (in this forum I think?) that tyre pressures weren't doing anything in the preview.
I don't think the unlapping will be implemented, but that's just the skeptic in me. What @Dansmotorsport said is valid, the preview build has been confirmed to be different from the final build in more ways than one. Even the Super Car leaked gameplay footage from today showed changes to the Miami kerbs it seems. - @mariohomoh Yes was in this forum about tyre pressures.. Depending on the end of the spectrum that the pressures where on in the preview (certain values for e.g. rolling resistance etc. must have been used, just not changed by tyre pressure in the setup) this + the transmission could make an enormous difference in traction.
