im not sure if it would be entirely practical or used that much but i think it could be convenient at times to be able to zoom in on the map view at the corner of the screen
i thought of this at the beginning of a blackwood race when theres a whole mess of people everywhere and your not sure whether someones in your blind spot and theres not much time to check
but i think it could be abit helpful at times

The map is supposed to be a general help for locating yourself and others on the track. If you need the map to check blind spots, you're doing it wrong in the first place. But of course the map could be even more readable and informative with slight improvements.

I think the map is already good enough as it is, it simulates a pitspotter : Hey, don't worry the guy ahead of you is one lap behind / Careful the guy behind you has the overlap.

It also works as a reminder of how the corners look like, because sometimes with lfs they are hard to see. Sometimes.

I think that LFS map is very good. The only thing maybe could improve it will be if it shows the yellow flag sector.

Ah, another, the cars in the pit lane could also get a different colour, cause sometimes its hard to see them

Ah, the yellow flag zone is indeed a brilliant idea, and real life-like since you actually see the marshall wave their flags in the zone the accident have taken place in
I'm not sure for the cars in pitlane, I mean never had problems to see them, but wouldn't mind that

+10 for the yellow flag zone

Agreed, a yellow flag zone would be an interesting addition.
However it does not seem so easy to implement, and a better definition of yellow triggers is probably necessary before you end up with a yellow map

Yellow flag zone on the map? No thanks, that would mean you'd have to look at the map to see it. I prefer a big "YELLOW FLAG" message to appear, means it actually gets my attention (although even that isn't big enough for some...) If you mean in addition to the YF message then its simply a pointless addition for drivers and could only be used by spectators.

But the different colour for being in the pits is a good idea
