    This list is sometimes forcing me to enter a left turn without to see it!
    On a race with 10+ players it's a huge issue for the whole race. I'm playing with FOV 0.6 on a 23" screen.

    So please, add an option to disable this. And the fact is I never need this list, position bar is enough. There's an option to disable every information, but I need the other ones.
    Please consider this seriously, it's really a big disadvantage.

    I've never seen this before. There must be a way to turn it off.

    I only found an option that disable every overlay (last one in HUD settings), but I need the other ones.

    it's been a bit 'all or nothing' for a long time. I've always hated the overlays, which was the original reason for making Crew Chief

    AFAIK the Dev's are working on a new HUD but, they do quite a while now. So I'm not sure how long it will take from now till we get the results of it...

    I have the position bar at the top, and the motec in the bottom right, just no positions on the left. Let me go check my options.

    Same with the penaltiy/Cut warnings, as I use the virtual mirror - specially when you're off track after incident and trying to get yourself together again/ back on track at high traffic...being blind then is not the best option :)

    What other overlays are there, though? The overlays option doesn't turn off the position bar, HUD data display or track map, it just hides the timings you want to hide IMO.

    I need the other overlays (see nirt77 post), maybe this data is available on the Motec but it's small on my screen. So I want overlays except for the drivers list on left which hide an important part of my view.

    Just for info, do you still view the penalties when disabling all overlays?

    @mr_belowski In the FR3 League race on Brands Hatch I was often taking the turn 3 blindly cause of this list, thanks to muscle memory! :D

    To be honest I don't even remember a lap time / sector time overlay...I still get laptime with overlays disabled, it's in the top left on the position bar. And Crew Chief tells me how I'm doing sector time wise.

    Can't comment on penalties. I only (finally) disabled the overlays recently and I rarely ever get penalties.

    Is there a way to keep the 'off-track warnings' switched on? I find them really useful testing to find the limits of the track.

    it's the 'left the track warning' that's gone. I've looked, but I can't find it in settings.
