Worst F1 Game Ever
This year I wanted to try and qualify to F1 Esports since I've been working on it and having been pretty close to qualify to Challengers last time around. But it wasn't meant to be. Game Crashing all...

@F1GUZMAN F1 Life and Supercars are the stupidest things in F1 games I’ve ever seen. And it‘s time that the game director Lee Mather leaves the company. It’s unbelievable how shy he is to stamp on the ground. He is a bad leader. How can he be happy with this product? How can he be happy not solving all the bugs since years? Is he happy to have a Safety Car which’s the same since 7 years, that lapped cars are not allowed to unlap themselves? I mean honestly. Weak up!
@DavidF1GP The problem is that we as players do not always know and see everything. The lapped cars example you give. Yes, as a player I think it should change.
But what's going to happen with short races? Are we going to need 5 laps for SC in a 15 lap race? Is that what we want? I guess not. In a 100% race? Yes, I would. 50% race? Hmm, not so sure how that would work out with multiple SC. We already have races with more yellow track than green.
It's all about choices and making a game for different type of players.
I can't entirely agree with the sort of language regarding the complaints here. It's childish to blame and to force them to do that and that instead of making proposals in a polite way of talking.
I'm wondering if you are talking to your neighbors, employees in stores/supermarkets or colleagues in the same way when something is not working.
@zed08je0ot2vIt’s all about creativity. In short races like 3 / 5 laps SC should be turned off. 25% race distance is near a sprint race where a SC is possible. But is there a real chance being lapped in that short distance? Normally not. If so, where is the problem that the driver may unlap under Safety Car? I mean the main problem is, lapped cars in the way and it can ruin your race. Doesn’t matter if one lapped or more then one car. Your distance to the position you are fighting for is for a restart manipulated. Otherwise you are the lapped car and behind the leader who is following the safety car. You were fighting for points. P10 was not lapped by the leader before the SC. That means P10 are cruising a complete lap around the track and for the restart you are 1 lap behind because you will get a blue flag for P10. Race is over. And this is unbelievable crazy how they cannot change the official SC rule since 7 years!
It's not that they can not change it. You give some good solutions, but also introduce a few new holes in the story. In our league it happens pretty much every race that a driver gets lapped before 25% of a full race. Some damage lap 1, a spin lap 5 and the fastest drivers on the grid are already within 10/20 seconds depending on the track you're driving.
In a 50% race which takes about 50 minutes on average a single SC can take up to 10 minutes, but they take 6 minutes on average. We have two SC a race (on average). That's 12 minutes and 25% of the race. With lapped cars getting a change of unlapping themselves we'll probably need the full 10 minutes to get back into racing. That's almost half the race behind a SC.
A 25% race lasts around 30 minutes. With cars unlapping themselves you'd have 15 minutes of racing if you're lucky.
Now, I don't have the exact numbers and there are a lot of variables at play here, but we are already at the limit of SC in our league. Nobody wants longer SC.
Are there solutions for every problem? Yes. But with every solution you'll create another problem for another situation or driver. We know Codemasters has discussed unlapping internally, but are divided on the subject. I think it was Barry who once said that in the old forum. It's not that they can not change it and it's not that they don't want to change it. It's just that they don't want to create new problems by solving one.
