    It would be great to be able to replay your best lap against someone else's best lap on multiplayer server. Both cars as "ghosts". That would be the hands-down best tool to learn where you're slower than other players - or quicker... Of course you could disable/enable this feature by tweaking server config. Anyone else agree?

    It would be a nice feature. We try everything to get the racing as close as possible in our league (handicaps etc) but even after years of suplying replays of fast laps and threads about how people get fast it still puzzles me that allot of people simply dont take correct lines and lose many seconds per lap for no reason other then not knowing an correct apex. or even correct-ish.

    It could of course simply be that they dont care much and just wanna race on any given spot, not everyone invests allot of time in racing or feels the need to try and win races but such a feature would defo help because you can instantly discover issues on the spot (as aposed to follow a fast driver while you are in the garage or check replays later on)

    It would bring the racing even closer in our league and although that also probably means more incidents, it would be much more fun not having a field spread out too much.

    Overlaying replays won't help slow drivers anymore than just watching a straight replay of a fast lap, because their ghost car will be too far behind, unless you could offset your lap. It would be useful for close timed laps though.

    Also, there's a program called rfVCRmerge that does this for you for rFactor :)

    rfVCRmerge will sync up at sector marks so if you are way off the pace you can close the gap a little bit that way.
