I don't think that suspension failure could happen because suspension setup is wrong

It doesn't, a wrong setup just slows you down. A suspension failure comes from failing to repair the car for several races in a row.

I would like to ask again-will flags ever stop appearing on the last 2 laps?

I definitely think that all flags should be limited to the first 75% of each race. Twice in a row now I have been denied a possible win by VSC and double yellows being activated by other inactive people's car not being repaired and therefore braking down on or around the last few laps. It's extremely frustrating and something has to be done.

Completely agree! Ruins the end of races and the safety car was in the same update right? Sorry I was looking foward to that but I am yet to hear of a sighting!

I know that last laps VSC can be frustrating, but problems are inactive players, not VSC itself. So I suggest new rule: if cars parts are 15% or lower, driver of that car will not be allowed to race

We race every day and I haven't seen that many flags, I think I've the 2 VSC twice and I've yet to see the SC. Personally, I'd rather see more yellows, not a rediculous amount but more than there are.
Then again, maybe I miss them, for some reason, I don't seem to notice the notifications, when they appear, whether it's because I'm colourblind, I'm not sure but I'd prefer something more noticeable like a flash around the edge of the screen maybe



I agree with you, last VSC was unnoticed until the end of the race, when we saw it in the race results

VSC & SC are not ruining races. You should not consider you could use your DRS or KERS during all the race because they may appear. Races are not be ruined: they have changed, so you do have to adapt to this new reality

I think the simple fix here would be to have an on/off switch in the league settings and allow the league admin to choose whether to have VSC enabled or disabled during league races.

That would be cool, but their would be some disagreement between managers in the leagues I think.

I think we need to be reasonable here. Looking at threads over the last few months if the devs were to introduce toggles for everything us players have asked for each league would almost be a customised game in its own right. Ones that immediately spring to mind are...


  •  a toggle for SC & VSC

  •  a toggle for flags

  •  a toggle for crashes and breakdowns

  •  a toggle for two tyre compound rule

  •  a toggle to disable rain

  •  a toggle for fastest lap points

  •  customised championship points

  •  a toggle to disable DRS

  •  a toggle to disable boost

  •  a control to select how much boost can be used per lap

  •  etc. etc.

there are too many things ppl want but that itself is a big problem.

if your honest, has this game really gotten any better over the years or has it just been given a pretty up?

i've seen pictures of the set up screens and how the tracks looked and i have to say i think its worse now, yep graphics have improved but game play haven't.

that's the real issue.

Another one who misses the point! My league is very active and what I am saying is that it sometimes could be down to drs whether you win or not in the final laps. 

With this stupid VSC coming in on the final laps it is messing up the enjoyment for others!! 

You cannot kick players from the league if they end up working late or have another unforseen event come up so they don't do setup, yet you have to put up with the stupid VSC.

Plus if it comes in during the race that is one thing and almost realistic, however it always comes in on the final laps which ruins the end of the race for the others!!


A player missing 1 or 2 races is not going to suffer suspension failure. If you have a very active league, as you say, you shouldn't be seeing the VSC because there should be no car failures if someone has only missed a couple of races

You do get suspension failure if they don't do setup and it is a track that requires firm suspension so yes we are seeing it even with an active league..

You do not get a suspension failure if you don't set up, no matter what kind of suspension you need, soft, neutral or hard. 

You only get a suspension failure after missing several races.

I know that it's not the same thing but look at how much notice a real racing driver gets, flashing coloured notices on their steering wheel, flashing coloured electronic led boards and flags.
If anything, we have a much more limited view, being top down 2D view, I think we need a much bigger notice than the one we get. A series of flashes around the edge of the screen to alert us to the fact that there's a notice which can then read, would do the job. It doesn't even need to be in different colours, if it flashes blue round the edge, we know that there's a flag or safety notice that we need to read.
It's as simple as that.
