Right click on your name in the pits to see a list of all your lap times.

What do you mean before a session starts?

Aha! Thanks.

I mean this when the formationlap is enabled. The only way to see the
time left is watching the red lights. It would be nice to see a
countdown, so you can better plan the pee stop before a long
leaguerace.

It's decent but it's hardly in the same category as GTR in terms of
physics/realism.

Where is this GPL "sound app" you are referring to Doug?
I have added sounds to the game before, but not sure if I have used this one
TIA

Isn't there a counter at the top of the screen or is it not present on the
formation lap?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I've been in a few online races, and
noticed the host often, if not always, suddenly selects the next
session. At that time you don't know how much time you've to adjust
the setup. Well, not much time, that's for sure :-/ But at least
you'll see the red lights getting on one by one.

With a formationlap it's up to the polesitter, I think. Offline the
field suddenly moves, I've no idea on what sign. (Not been on pole
yet, the AI keeps knocking off my rearwing when I start in front of
one. I've not enough buttons on my wheel to use launch control. And
since I'm driving the '99 Minardi, I don't think it even HAS launch
control...)

So, maybe it's there somewhere (a counter), but some indication how
much time you've to prepare the setup would be nice.
