I'll keep this one short.

1.  Use the number keys underneath the function keys for autochat
     macros.  CTRL-Fx combos are difficult to reach while racing.  Not
     that you should be talking much anyways during the race, but I'd
     like to be able to quickly tap a key to say "BillC passing low"
     than play hand-twister in trying to reach a CTRL-Fx combo.

2.  More info shown in the race scheduler with the F4 key.  While
     waiting for another race to join, I'd like to be able to see what
     place each of the drivers in a particular race are racing in and
     how far back from the leader they are.

3.  Text written directly to you should be in a different colour so
     you don't miss out.  Ideally, any text that contains some portion
     of your username would light up so that it's easier to see when
     someone's talking or referring to you (so that any text with the
     word 'Bill' would light up, in my case).

All for now.

Bill.

I'd like to see skill levels reported in the race reports file.  They
include incidents, but they don't report skill levels.  Unless you know
who you're racing against, you never know.  I believe the only place
they could put this is in the race reports that you can download.  That
is fine.  It would be nice to know these levels in the F2 standings
display, but I can live without it.  That way you would know if you are
coming up on a rookie.  For cautions sake.

Yeah, this one's a pain. Unfortunately the graphic details are on these
keys. I was thinking about buying one of those programmable keyboards just
for MP NASCAR.

It would also be really cool to be able to watch a race in progress. I'm
not gonna do that very often on LD charges, but if the HCS Pro boys are
racing, it would nice to see the action.

Or your car #.
