    Is it planned to include a visible pit board later on? I would like to see something that could be customised and mod specific. So the FR35s would get a modern looking board with lots of up-to-date info, whilst the 1960s cars will see an old chalk board, with minimal, possibly slightly inaccurate, info on, which is a lap behind.

    On a slightly similar note, I've never understand why we have red pit exit lights at the start of a session. Making us sit there for a few seconds at the start of a session just seems pointless. I’m sure many will disagree, but for me this is taking realism a little too far.

    Pitboards would be good even if they don't make any sence, just poped out and in when cars go pass. that would be good!

    I agree with OP. Even GTR2-style pitboards would be great.

    I agree with this suggestion. I would like to see pitboards, perhaps something similar to what used to be in GPL. I generally prefer to drive with the LCD display turned off as I don't find it particularly convenient to have to scroll through all the different screens. I would prefer to have as much of the LCD information as possible communicated to me through the use of pitboards and spotter's voice.

    Yeah, the LCD screen should be customisable to be as useful as possible. All i need would be the tyre temps and the best lap/split time screen with some other info i could possibly need. going through the screens is actually irritating and you're losing the focus while trying to find the right screen.

    There was never an answer to this- would it be possible to make a plug in that does this even if ISI doesn't implement it?

    +1 also - would very much like this feature.

    Such a simple addition would add so much realism to the sim - catching a glimpse of your pit board as you fly past the pits - either a 3D board at the pit wall, or if that is too hard then a pop-up box for a set distance approaching the start/finish.

    I would still love this to see it implemented into RF2, i'm used to the GPL pitboards.
