Codemasters has confirmed that this year's official Formula One game, F1 2011, will introduce the sport's safety car.
In Formula One, the safety car leads the pack around at the circuit at a reduced pace in dangerous conditions such as extreme wet or after a crash. Racers have to hold station behind it and aren't allowed to pass each other.
Its appearance can have a profound impact on race strategy and outcome, and it's been a much-requested feature by fans.
F1 2011 will be released on 23 September.
