Al drivers who were driving at that specific moment contributed. The stats have to be updated at an interval greater than zero (because it's done by a computer) so you COULD trace the one who submitted the distance needed to pass the Billion Km mark. But that is because the distance is submitted sequentially after that distance was driven. In the concept of cumulative driven distance however everyone driving at that moment contributed because the adding of distance should be done at an infinite rate.
Ofcourse there is no need for it. But every year people count down in front of a clock to see it move past 00:00. This 1 GKm (or 1 Tm to be more scientifically correct) mark is even more rare. People like numbers
Not to long before the 1 Tm barrier is broken. At the moment of writing, the mark is at 994,952,803 Km. Will there be fire works? Will there be an announcement? I know it's just a statistic, but it does show how successful LFS is.
Sorry, woman. I didn't want to offend you. From your post I concluded that you were really fond of that shifting light. So I presented an alternative now it's gone. That's all.
And I just wanted to note that something like "Join Date" has nothing to do with the date starting with LFS. You seem to make a big issue of it but there's no way to tell whether you are 10 times longer involved with LFS or the other way around.

Reason : I learned that Inouva is -in fact- a woman. Sorry for that : )
You can always go back to an earlier patch en write down those shifting points (maybe someone already did). Learn to recognize the sound the engine makes at those speeds as you should IRL.
BTW, I tried XFG in Z20: I-LUUUUVVVV-THAT-DASHBOARD! Looks just like the real deal! Except for the gear indicator ofcourse. (which, I hope, will stay for a while since I don't have an H-shifter.)
I really loved the first NFS (TNFS to be exact). First racing game I played where you really had to hit the breaks hard and early to deaccellerate your 3500 lbs lambo. A feeling that totally disappeared when that NFS underground crap hit the market.
I also liked the "street race" feeling much. Winding through an Alpine scenery while dodging traffic and running from (incapable) cops gave me an incredible invinceble feeling.
NFS Porsche was the last one I enjoyed. EA lost me after that one.
Imagine 3.571 (which is now possible). 3571 is a prime number, so the minimum number of teeth on the cogs must be 3571/1000! I don't think this will fit in any rl gearbox.
