Hi all,
In the Liveforspeed.be League we also implemented Safety car rules..
You can say why?? A flipped or stuck car is out of the race..
True and ..not true..
There are a lot of race disciplines where stuck or even flipped car are helped back on track. Rally is a good example of people putting the a flipped car back on the wheels so they can continue.
Example of stuck car in gravel is for example F1. When a car is stuck at a dangerous place the stewards may push it out so the racer can continue the race. Schummi was one of the first to use that rule.
Advantages of implementing a safety car procedure :
1. You keep more cars in the race. The race is not over for that racer but the result is that he is put al least 1 lap behind the pack.
2. More cars in the race means, more action, more fun.
3. A safety car procedure always brings back the action because alll racers are again close to each other. Close racing ..more action...more fun
4. The fact that a safety car can be deployed counts in how you handle the race on tactics..
Disadvantages for most leagues is they must have an extra racer waiting to be deployed.. often boring and an extra slot used on the server.
We, on our international Liveforspeed.be league, have resolved those disadvantages !!!
Take a look here an learn :

I can only say we now have a lot more action in our races and racers can stay in the race and collect more experience about the combo. And a SC procedure does not mean you will be last. An other SC moment brings you more and more up front.. making it able to collect some points after all !!
