It would be great if the safety car is deployed when  "Virtual Safety Car" is activated.

When racing and a car slips out of the track it is always an hassle to get the car as quick as possible back on the track. The virtual safety car option is nice to have if you dont have an extra pitlane and safety car.  But with this safety car and pitlane it would be great if it is deployed with a Safety Car button in the app.
Like in a real case scenario, all drivers behind the safety  car at a lower speed and back to full speed when the siuation is over.

I dont know if that is possible and that Carrera shares the code/api to get the safety car deployed on the track?

Would be my number 1 update! :-)

Thanks a lot for building this great app!

Hey there,

thanks for your suggestion! Since there is a dedicated Safety Car button already available through the quicklinks widget: Would that be something different or more advanced? Maybe you could further clarify :-)

You mean that a real safety car is now also deployed and driving on the track?That would be great news and then I missed that one.

Yes, there is a dedicated button for this. Pushing the button will deploy the safety car (if you have one configured at your track) and the second push will retract it again.
