Then the replays screen needs an extra label. One to tell you what you are currently viewing/browsing.

LFS remembers the last state of the single/multi selector. So, if you open that menu after say 3 days, it's not actually obvious what are these replays in front of you. And the first big label you see is the selector, and with that philosophy you described, you'll have to think the opposite way (oh, it says that if i click it will take me "there", so what I'm viewing now is the opossite of "there"), hm ok ...
Single/Multi-Player Replays

Is it just me or the single/multi-player selector in the replays menu is showing the opposite thing ?

Selecting single-player shows the MPRs and selecting multi-player shows the SPRs .....

Uerm, there are many times that I see someone in front of me braking too early
or too late or normally.

It doesn't matter which one. I've been many times in a situation where I wished there were brake lights on the formula, and many times in a situation with other cars with brake lights that I have made various last-seconds decisions only by looking the brake lights of the front car.

Decisions like blocking the wheels, breaking earlier than personal braking point or later, or even go out of the line past the man in front (even out of track) to avoid a massive accident, or events in a straight line where the front driver is loosing it and presses all the pedals together.

Again, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that since it's a multiplayer game with all kinds of gamers (newbies, pros, wreckers, etc etc ...) an extra visual indicator despite the lag can always come in handy.

I vote for realism, myself. But since it's called F08 and not F1 or F3000 or whatever else, we can add on it whatever we want It simulates the driving feel and behaviour of a generic formula car and since it doesn't race in F1GP, it can follow different rules than FIA :P

I'd like to ask why it was chosen for the formula cars not to include a braking light at the rear.

F1 cars do have a light at the rear, right ?

And despite reality, in a multiplayer game with all the lag and stuff, it might be important to actually have an extra visual indicator that the man in front of you is braking.
