Codemasters, the developers behind the F12010 title and the upcoming F2011 console game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, have confirmed the inclusion of the safety car.
The much anticipated feature was left out of the first edition of the game since Codemasters acquired the license in 2009. It was among the most requested feature on the developers forum and, after much secrecy, it looks as the Mercedes SLS will be a feature when the game is released in September.
The news was confirmed on Twitter by chief game designer, Steve Hood, who wrote on Twitter: “Okay, okay… Safety Car is in this years game. Going to be awesome!!”
Further details were also explained with Andy Gray writing: “Okay lets answer a few SC Qs: Yes it is real, no you cannot drive it, it is available online, you keep the same camera when the SC is out.
“To answer another question: yes you have control behind the SC but there’ll be some restrictions. More details once everything is concrete.
“Safety Car is available in races 20% or over and can be turned off if you don’t want it.”
