The spotter calls out to tell you whether you're racing the car in front or
behind. For example, if you pass a car, and the car in front of you is on
the same lap, the spotter will say, "You're racing the car in front of
you". If that car passes a lapped car, the spotter will say, "The [fill in
the number] car is a lap down". When you get past the lapped car, the
spotter will once again tell you that you're racing for position.
You can also get instant split times by selecting the F2 screen and
pressing enter, just like in MULTI. Cars on the same lap are in white, cars
a lap down are in green, and cars that are a lap up on you are in red. Note
that in the Rendition version, you'll take a serious hit on your frame
rate. I usually leave the F1 or F2 screen up and then hit the enter key
periodically to get my split to the car in front and behind.
The tracks do look great. The night race at C***te is particularly
awesome, especially watching from some of the camera angles in the replay.
