I dunno about anybody else, but I think blueflag while in practice mode is pointless...

You should be courteous to faster drivers during practice. If you just got out onto the track on cold tires, you need to be blue flagged to warn you of a car that has been on the track for longer then you. Makes sense.

I disagree and completely agree with Krammeh. I would understand if the blue flag truely meant that someone faster was approaching from behind, but it simply does not mean that in LFS. There is nothing wrong with leaving the pits and lapping positionally 2 seconds ahead of someone who has been on the track longer. If said someone catches you, then yes, you should allow him an easy pass, as you should be allowing an easy pass no matter who it is in practice. But it does get annoying when you have blue flag and you have to stare at it forever or slow down and wait forever for the car running just as fast as you to catch up and pass.

There is absolutely no reason to have blue flag while practicing. It is obvious that if someone is hanging in your mirror and you are holding them up, you should let them pass whether they are a lap ahead or on the same lap.

^^^^^^^^^^
i completely agree with the above post. I guess that the blue flag message is displayed once a car that is a lap ahead comes to lap you and gets within a certian distance of your car. So, if you have just spun off and rejoined the track, and the car behind has got within this blue flag distance, if you are evenly matched in speed (you are now back up to speed after the spin) then in theory, if the other car never drops back or passes, the blue flag message will never disappear. For me, there is nothing more annoying than a load of text coming up when you are trying to concentrate on where you are driving.

So whats needed isnt a removal of blue flag from practice, but in fact an update of the logic used in it for practice and qualy
