Quote from Bob Smith :

I think it would be useful for learning the track, somebody could give you there notes, or maybe once you've learnt a track you could make the notes, so that if you don't race that combo for a while and come back to it, you can re-adjust more quickly.

Yes, that's one of it's biggest uses as I see it. Learning, mastering, perfecting.

Settable at other points, too. Not just for corners. I dunno... Maybe a reminder about what a 'good' split time is at the next split. Or 'You shou lbe doing 110mph by now' type things. Stuff so you can guage how you're doing, compared to what you *want* to be doing. Again, something pre-defined is not good enough... I don't race to win, I race to have a really good race. I don't take t1 at 45-50 like people say, I go slower, to make sure I get around clean. Something like this would have to be customizable.

The problem with something you can't customize, is that it's static for the racing style the dev uses. Somone who drifts in to turns might take them faster than somone who brakes early and accelerates out. To be effective, it has to be able to be tailored to each drivers style and requirements.

Voice would be too arcade-y, in my opinion. And you could hardly set that up yourself, customized, unless you record via mic during a race.

Not a book, no. A pop-up message. Reminder. Akin to the 'rally co-driver', so to speak. And I never said it was a 'good' idea, just an idea

Well, that's why I said 'in theory'. I have 1000's of credits from racing, because I don't hot-lap at all. I suppose they could add a 'race-earned credits' that you ONLY get from racing and finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

Yes, but that's not very convenient when doing 115mph toward a corner

Here's one, then.

You earn credits by winning races, yes? Right. So, those with credits (Licensed people only) are obviously racing properly, and doing well. In theory, at least.

So create a fine system. For bad racers, persistent trouble-makers. Fine them, which costs credits. And if you have no credits, you can't enter 'Fine enabled' servers. You could still race on other ones, but if a server *wants* good racers, enable fining, to keep out those who have caused problems.

I'm a demo racer, and I don't expect this in the demo, but it would be awsome for when I get my license...

You're thundering down Blackwood straight, and for some very bizare reason, you can't recall exactly what speed is best for taking this corner. Enter stage-left the 'Reminder' that you set at this point on the track. 'brake 100 - slow 60-70mph'

I know it seems silly, and it doesn't apply when you only have one track. But a reminder that you can set, to give a piece of advice about a corner/straight/passing point or whatever would be good. I've spent a lot of time getting my speed/braking points just right for corners, it'd be nice to be able to record it in a note, that pops up at that section on the track.

Jus' an idea. And again, NO, I do NOT expect this in a demo version. Demo version is awsome, and making it any better would be daft.

-- Adding:

And it'd also be good for teaching, or teams. The ability to distribute a 'team tactic' file, which has aseries of these notes. Specifying speeds, braking points, A.O.A's and the sort.

I also think this needs to be changed. Somone was being an idiot on a server, and they changed to my name. Made it impossible for other racers to know which one to ban. I ended up having to leave.
