Oh, question!

I finally had a VSC come out (Virtual Safety Car), and I was leading at the time, but didn't know what to do! LOL

I'm used to a yellow freezing the field's places in NASCAR, but this said to not go faster than the Delta time. What's that mean? Damn Vettel passed me during the VSC because I kept slowing and didn't think passing was allowed (again, based on NASCAR).

What do I do next time so I don't get screwed? Thanks!

Except your car isn't a F1 car that does 200+ mph, hugging corners at high speeds. Trust me, a wheel set up takes racing games to another level.

How do you know my other car isn't an F1?

All kidding aside, I get what you're saying. I have used a top drawer wheel/pedal rig on a friend's PC for some NASCAR Racing (Papyrus) some years back and it's great. Just not practical for me in my gaming setup, and I kinda prefer chilling in a relaxed position whilst playing.

when the VSC comes out, just try to keep the delta as close to 0 as you can. if it goes in the red, you need to slow down or you'll get penalized.

Okay, so is the Delta a separate readout that I am not seeing? Is it on my hud in the lower right? Feel like an idiot that I didn't see it but everything happened quickly...

I think it's top right?

It's similar to the tire management delta graphic

Thank you kindly, 'Dice!

Have you guys started messing with different car setups or do you just go with the defaults most times?
