    I think there should be some sort of podium at the end of the race .. with your cuntrys flag would do maybe even your national anthem

    It seems once a race has finished there is no real reward for the winner etc not even a stat +

    It would also be nice for the race to not move on to the next track or wotever until your ready

    u might want to see your replay or lap times

    View attachment 953

    also are we not going to get a profile like races won? fastest lap? record lap holder? would be ncie knowing ur on the same server as the fastest lap holder or the most races won by him..

    hopefully

    Agreed, the interface just before start and after the race is indeed very plain. It wouldnt be bad if the simulator shows the starting grid, some preparation acting in the grid (marshalls, mechanicals pushing tires carriages, whatever) and, after the race, show the main statistics (fastest laps, laps leading, drivers championship table if it's the case, etc).

    Yes, you can see those data in your pit stall after the race finish, but is something like a anticlimax the way that RF1 manage the end of the race. You're just sent to your pit stall whatever be your finish position and that's it. Not really imersive.

    I'd rather have an incentive.

    We've talked about things like this before. Not against the idea at all--bit further down on the to-do list for sure though :)

    Michael Schumacher's bold gesture on the podium

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-iNUyi47I

    look at very last secs of video .. flags names etc good!

    i think the importance of flags is big... a flag beside our name in the racing server list would be sweet
    allways nice to see all the people form all rnd the world on the server!

    I disagree, sorry, I think it would make the Sim more "gamey".

    When I win a race... rare but they do happen.. the guys on Teamspeak congratulate you.. and that is more than enough for me.

    This... and some extra information after this screen. Not very difficult to implement, I think.
