Greetings all, ive had S2 now for some time, however this is my first visit to the forum.

I dont know if anyone has already suggested this, but it always seems to happen that at the start of a race where everyone desides to crash, then they all vote to restart. this then annoys the good drivers that made it through the carnage and into a good possition. so i thought it might be a good idea if you had a safety car for just a lap or two, to allow the people who crashed to pit then re join and make their way to the back of the feild for the rolling restart.

let me know what you think.

I was thinking the same yesterday

And when you overtake the Safety car, you will be send to spectate, but there must be a server option to disable/enable the Safety Car.

+1

sounds good to me, i hope it hapens

Make the safety car fast, so that us Cruise enthusiasts can have them mod it into a police car... Flashing lights and everything =).

wont need to "mod" it u can use LFS Strobe sorts the flashing lights out ( but surely they could make lights that sit on top of the car like roof rack one like police cars that would be nice ) !!

Im sure it has been suggested before but i would agree that it would be good hehe Safty Cars are more interesting in long races anyway

I think it sounds like an all round +1. Not just for racing, it can be used for a variety of situations as Secondaries said, it could also be used in cruise servers.

It has most definitely been suggested before, and the theory was that it would technically be possible to do with an AI driver that a server admin could take over from if necessary.

But you shouldn't be auto-specced for passing it. I think a time penalty, drive-through or immediate DSQ would be better and more realistic. I can't say I'm sure what the RL penalty is for overtaking the SC though, but I assume it's probably a DSQ.
But the current flagging system doesn't penalise you for not paying attention to them. Overtaking under yellow should get you at least a time penalty, so I think that needs to be fixed first before we can have full course yellows with the SC.

This feature may be included in S3, not a bad idea

Only as an option and hopefully only restricted to long race! I guess it would be uselessly time consuming for the short race!

i think if F1 if u overtake under safety car condition u will get a drive-through or a 10sec stop and go

happens every time...
good suggestion though...I wish the safety car was AI controlled so there wouldnt be a person who has to drive it, instead of racing
