    Apologies if already suggested.

    It would be great to have optimum tyre, brake and engine temperatures plus torque curves displayed in-game.

    It seems to me that these are pretty fundamental things that the driver needs to know and optimise. The engine, brake and tyre temperatures are visible realtime and so it seems a bit of an oversight to not have the optimum data to hand before you go out on track.

    Yep definitely, important information that any driver would have available to him.

    Even if a graph cannot be implemented, at least knowing rpms for peak torque and power would be helpful and can be tabulated along with optimum brake, tyre and engine temperatures.

    One thing that baffles me is that it is virtually impossible to find horsepower data for these cars. It's not listed anywhere and in the engine files torque data is available but not HP. Any race team will have basic torque curves available. You can look up the data for the real race equivalents but often that data is very different from the in-game cars.

    Even arcade games have this sort of info... and most of those drivers don't even know what it means!

    doesn't really have to be built in-game... does it?

    Great project JGraf, exactly the information that should be made available.

    It's easier to use if it were in game whilst in the garage instead of having to alt-tab out to check, but that solution you have there is the next best thing so thanks for sharing.
