Kinda says a lot about our society now, if real life has to imitate a video game to gain interest. every series has something to mix up the racing, NASCAR has stage racing (dont even get me started), Rallycross has the joker lap, Formula 1 now has the 1 pt for Fastest Lap, which may not seem like much, but can play a big strategy change when going for the fastest lap in terms of tire wear, fuel useage and weight. I feel like FE was just going for something more "modern" in a sense of making it seem cutting-edge.

Also, INDYCar and F1 have literally the same exact thing, just a different name. Push-to-Pass for INDYCar (constricted by a time limit, but no track location limit) and DRS for F1 (constricted by location if im not mistaken). FE's version would be attack mode, constricted by time, but i kinda like the "joker lap" aspect of having to leave the racing line, costing time. Not a fan of making it required tho, but not a big deal.

I think giving the halos lights to show the fanboosts and attack modes are rly cool, would show a lot better in a night race tho
