It's been a bone of contention for hardcore fans since F1 2010 was released last year but, up until now, Codemasters Birmingham has been reluctant to put the safety car in F1 2011 amid concerns that it might have a detrimental effect on the gameplay's immediacy.
However, speaking from Gamescom, the game's Chief Designer, Stephen Hood has confirmed the safety car's inclusion in F1 2011 via Twitter while his colleague, Andy Gray even posted a Twitpic of Hood next to the car running in the game (see image right).
Eurogamer has it that the safety car will only be on standby in races of 20% full distance or more (including online), and gamers can turn it off if they want. Players will be able to maintain restricted control of their car as they queue behind the safety car, although there won't be an option to actually drive the car in the game.
