To all the people who think it is ok to slow down under VSC

F1

I was shocked at all the hate I received yesterday giving someone advice on VSC. One idiot even runs a league and doesn't know the rules, and just because the game is broken does not make it ok to slow down under virtual safety car. No, you cannot drive as slowly as you want under a Virtual Safety Car (VSC). While drivers must significantly reduce their speed—typically by 30-40%—they must adhere to a minimum time set by the FIA ECU in each marshalling sector. Driving "unnecessarily slowly" or erratically is strictly forbidden and penalty-worthy. Key Rules for VSC Usage: Speed Delta: Drivers must keep their steering wheel delta positive, ensuring they do not exceed the set, slower speed, but also do not go too slow. Sector Management: The track is divided into marshal sectors (between light panels), and a minimum time must be met in each, ensuring consistent pace.
