Season 14 Sneak Peak - Poll & Patreon Test Race!
Added 2022-06-24 15:18:08 +0000 UTCHello Everyone (Again, We missed a couple of options.),
Terry here, as a Patreon member, we're itching to hear your thoughts on a new development we're currently in the midst of testing that will come along with our brand new Safety Rating system for Season 14!
ThePitCrew SAFETY CAR!
That's right, we're looking at bringing a safety car for Season 14, we're currently in the midst of testing it and we'd love to have you involved, in some of them.
Why a Safety Car, we hardly have any large-scale incidents?
We discussed internally a way to police yellow flags/rejoins and came to the conclusion that the better solution may be to implement a safety car for those larger incidents, during these discussions we wanted to also test whether we could possibly START under a safety car too, with a full rolling lap and then the leader controls the pace similar to other games with safety cars.
We've done this with a very LIMITED testing set of drivers, (6) but we need to up the scale a little bit, which is why we're inviting you to a second test on Sunday at Brands Hatch!

We want to know from you, however, what your preferred options are, so please, vote in the poll below.
A little more about the options:
Full Safety Car - The safety car would be used for 1 lap at the start of the race for rolling starts, causing NO CARS to be ghosted anymore, as well as for any deployments for yellow flags.
Partial Safety Car - This is the same as above, however, the standard rolling start would be used.
Red Flags - If we used red flags, the WHOLE RACE would be stopped, and finishing positions would be based on what happened the lap before, if no lap was run, the race would be cancelled and possibly restarted.
Keep it how it is - Self explanatory.
"Soft red flag" - This would be the same as a partial safety car, however instead of a Safety Car it would be a VSC, meaning that the field wouldn't get bunched up.
