What would be nice is having a little radar as we had in Daytona USA from Sega :
As you can see, the square shows where the other vehicles are around you. Not realistic at all but it can somewhat replace our peripheral vision.
About this new patch, I've been wondering if it's possible to have virtual monitors ? Maybe it's possible to have small virtual left-view and right-view monitors as we have a virtual rear-view mirror ? In short, we would have "3 virtual rear-view mirrors" : 1 showing the rear (normal), 1 showing the right and 1 showing the left.
If it is not possible, has it already been suggested before ?
