    ...could you try to squeeze in the next patch an adjustment on how the penalties pop ups are being displayed on the main HUD?
    Those messages are HUGE, knock out completely the rearview mirror, they're terribly distracting especially if you're dueling, then if two players get a drive thru/stop and go penalty at the same time (or very close to each other) the first one that pops gets covered by the second so the first driver is very likely to be DSQ cause he couldn't see it...
    What about something similar to this?

    Warning notification (beep sound and blinking x3)

    Drive thru penalty (beep sound and blinking x3 + solid until penalty is served)
    [​IMG]
    Penalty Served (beep sound and solid green for 3secs then disappears)
    [​IMG]

    And ultimately... please make the pop ups only appear to those who get the penalty!!!
    Sure it's kind of a sadistic pleasure to know about the fact that a car has been gone thru a stop and go :smilingimp: but that's really minor, isn't it?
    ...and maybe it can be displayed to other drivers like this below for example?

    Cant agree with you more.

    Was doing some GT3 races and the big yellow cutting message on top of you virtual rear view mirror is just stupid.
    I tought it was fixed after all the updates, doesn't seem to be that hard to fix.
    Hopefully its still on the roadmap.

    A workaround is to turn off those hud messages and use CrewChief.
    But for penalties I prefer a visual warning.
