    Sector Times, Lap Times, fastest Lap times.
    Possibility to compare with my times driven in older instances of playing to check improvement without choosing the competition modes.

    Could you add some sort of optional automation for pitting? I try to avoid going to the pits, but I miscalculated the fuel usage in a 30 minutes MP race and had to pit before the last lap. The problem is that I can't operate the pit menus while driving because of my disability. I only have the confirm pit button at hand and by default it didn't added fuel, just changed tires.

    Another little-known Crew Chief feature is that at the end of your session it "prints" a little string of numbers e.g:

    00:01.000;02:26.654;02:12.853;02:11.470;02:09.343;02:10.847;02:10.294;02:08.968;02:09.093;02:08.808;02:09.030

    For a ten lap race you get 11 numbers, ignore the first number (always 00:01.000) and the remainder are your lap times for the race!

    I paste them in excel and use them to track improvement (or otherwise), consistency (rare) and best laps.

    You can get a single lap in a cell if you use this formula: =MID($A$1,11,9) [where the full string is in cell A1 and lap 1 is 11 characters in and 9 long]. Lap 2 is 21 characters in =MID($A$1,21,9), lap 3 is 31 characters in etc etc. Hope that makes sense.

    Great for statistician drivers like me!

    maybe add :

    - Keyboard control in menu
    - Optimisation (ultra blur and complete blur or high reflection always make low fps even GPU is at 50%)
    - AI car selection (i don't want AI use chevrolet but all the new cars i have bought like Audi R8 LMS !)
    - If you have changed GT3 physics, maybe change all others class, they feel craps now :)
    - Better HUD placement option
    - You have disabled H-shifter for SEQ cars, but you can use Paddles for H cars, WHY ?
    - Fix DSR problem with menu
    - More hillclimbs

    before this update, "rich" people could play H-shifter with all cars and "poor" people could use paddles with all cars.
    Now "poor" people can always use paddles with all cars but "rich people can't use H-shifter with all cars ?
    WHY ?

    Why would anyone use an h-shifter with a modern DTM, or GT3, or FRX-17, or...

    The point of that change was to make the game more realistic, since most modern race cars arent h-pattern.

    Of course you cant lock out people who dont have an h-shifter from driving certain cars, so that's why paddle shifting everything is allowed.

    You do as you like :) But it's unrealistic and not as irl.

    Wish for more H-Shifter cars :)
