Hyperactive's fertile mind focused on the setups menu got me thinking about potential changes to the main menu screen in general. Here's a few proposals.
1. Hotlapping.
How about moving this into the 1st screen of the Single Player menu? There are times when I've come out of single player and I just feel like hotlapping, but I have to go back to the main page, click Hotlapping, and I'm back into the track/car selection screen. This is just a tiny bit awkward. A simple, instant 'Hotlapping' button somewhere in the track/car screen could potentially save a couple of button pushes. No big deal really. But taking hotlapping out of the main screen leaves room for other things like...
2. A 'Utilities' menu/button.
This menu gives access to a bunch of handy LFS related utilities. Here you would be able to check/uncheck more popular mods like the pitspotter, ghostmod, etc (assuming the authors and Scawen worked out terms). Basically just rolling the 3rd Party stuff which is popular, useful and of good quality into the game, making these things easier for people to use, and available to those who don't know they exist. I'm thinking something like Analyse for Speed... This little app is great and should be part of LFS. Why have to switch windows/quit out of LFS to see how your line is progressing? Just go into utilities.
3. A 'Resources' menu/button.
This would function as an ingame browser which makes it easy to access really useful sites such as LFS world, setup field, etc.. within LFS itself. (I understand Hyperactive's brought something like this up before) Or how about a gigantic, userfriendly carskins site, where you could browse and download skins directly into the game, according to car/popularity etc...
Probably a dumb idea, that's what the internet's for, right? I just thought it might be a bit more elegent to be able to access some of this stuff ingame.
4. A 'News' menu/button.
All the news that's fit to print..
Again, probably a dumb idea. Go to liveforspeed.net, right?

) If user doesn't set any laps amount or add AI drivers = the event is "Hotlapping". If there are AI drivers or predefined amound of laps = then it is single race.
