Too Afraid to Ask

A safety car is a special car that helps keep racers safe during a race. If there's an accident or bad weather, the safety car goes out to slow down the other cars until it's safe to race again.

Technical Definition

Safety cars are vehicles used in motorsport to control the pace of the race during hazardous conditions, such as accidents or poor weather. They ensure that drivers can safely navigate the track until it's safe to resume normal racing speeds.
