F1 is used in NASCAR to let you know at what point you are in the race. Comes in
great for pit stop strategy if you missed the lap count on the last pass by the
starters stand and are thinking of pitting. It would be really nice if we had some
type of a counter to indicate how many laps led up to the current point so we
can ease off a little and save the car for the end of the race once we have scored
the points for the most laps led.
Just my thoughts
