Safety car crash

Sorry for the Hungarian language.

The cause , there is no Safety car flag out there only the Yellow. Safety car flag is black with white letters."SC"
So the driver wasn't aware , and he came out of the turn over 120 mph.
There was already complain about the lacking or too late information from the workers around the track, before already.
You can see clearly from the inside camera , the driver doesnt get any SC flag. Not even a Yellow , just after the turn when its too late... Not to mention the SC is comes out for the far side... How stupid is that?
He dropped out from the first place. What a shame.

The end of the video the driver talk about the accident.

I guess the safety car didn't realize that the blend line was there for a reason..

Wow, what a big time mistake by the guy driving the safety car. Im shocked that the person who made that mistake was the driver of the safety car. This is one of the first things people are supposed to learn as a noob in HPDE.

Actually it's also the pit Stuart's fault too, watch at the very end, he's all pissy, not paying a god damn bit of attention, and waves the safety car in like it's got a "clear shot"
