InSim apps should be able to forward people to servers (not directly, with a message "Server side application forwards you to XXX. Connect?") and get lag data. That way, people from NA that go in European servers would be able to be tapped on the shoulder and go to a more geographically suitable host.

"InData" (excuse the really shite idea for the name) would be a way of inserting images and text in to LFS to create TV Style graphics and so-on. with data from InSim. I appreciate it might get abused, so it should only be permitted in spectate mode and off replays. When you go back in to spectate, InData would be re-enabled.

Bumpity bump.

Why? You can always just capture frames from LFS on one computer. Then, the second computer would take the frames, and overlay the insim data. Then, the second computer could be setup with Flash Communication Multimedia Server. You go to a website, and tada. You can watch a race being streamed live. With a little more work, you could have it be narrated live too. If you have a fast enough computer, you can do all this on one computer.

About the lag: I did some tests with that. If you lag out too much, LFS will actually disconnect you automatically. For example, I joined a server, and repeatedly cut off my connection for 5-7 seconds. Then, I waited and did this again. Eventually, I was kicked from the server. And, BTW, I was only on a city driving server, so I was doing no harm by purposely lagging out.
