Absolutely right there is so much more that can be shown, team events can not only be team against team but can be intra team as well with mini targets or just knowing player a is quicker than player b over a certain sector or lap.

For me as someone who works in the software and data industry it is not a lot of work to get this and more into the game. Harder to get it into view when racing. But take the point about special challenges we see all the time but for sure to have it available for review when not actually racing a track is simple.

I am not au fait with reddit being of the older generation but if ME7 wants to put this forward that would be great and would also carry more weight than if I did.

Any more ideas on this? I think there is a whole section of the game we can open up here very easily.

I'm still learning this Reddit Thing to. I only signed on because it was a chance to speak directly with FM and actually get a quick response. I doubt they know who I am though. I'm just another guy who likes games and loves a good racing games. I still remember stopping at the local department store everyday after school to play the new game "Donkey Kong" on ColecoVision. Also those days of Vic-20's and Commodore 64's. Guess that dates me a little 😉

I think a big problem that they face with this type of game is the balance between the "serious racer" who wants every piece of information available and the "new to racing" user who's just looking to drive any Lamborghini around a track. I still think some of this could be implemented in a way that wasn't overly distracting though.

One of the biggest distractions I found was TSM avatars. When I found out I could disable that in the settings I was quite happy. That was a big on-screen distraction for me. So having the ability to have certain features on or off would be wonderful.

When you start this game all assists are on high and you just drive. The game lets you know you can modify assists to get a more realistic experience. I think they could do the same thing with offering sector times and other such information. Let users know that it's there and that they could turn it on if they want to.
