    Personally I use KM/H, but in all honesty the actual speed I'm going is literally the least important thing that I rarely even notice or care about :p

    The huge majority of the cars in the game are European and thus in the real world they would display in KPH so I use that. I assume most people have it on KPH, so it's better to be speaking in the same units. In the flight sim world (DCS in particular because it has both Russian and NATO planes) it's a big headache when people are talking in different units.

    Although, I don't think the mini hud (both new and old) showed speed regardless. I can't recall because the speedometer doesn't really matter in racing.

    I use whatever is there. Why? Should I be?
    Only time I look at speed is to see whether my terminal velocity has improved, telling me I got better drive out of a corner for that particular line.
    Long back straight at Shanghai is a good example. Just before I brake.

    I use MPH but would quite happily see the imperial system go the way of the dinosaur. It doesn't make sense at all.

    I don't care if it's imperial or metric it's just a distraction.

    I know two speeds...fast and slow. Both transfer to either system.
