Why do you need one?

If you REALLY want to know how fast you're going then the answer is either

1) Not fast enough

or

2) Use F10 view - bottom of screen.

I dont know of a single seater racing car with a speedometer to speak of.
Some have it as one of the displays on a Stack dash - but most only have a
rev counter as the big 'dial'

If you want to know what speed you're going through corners and what-not
look at the replay. Otherwise, there's no speedometer. Race cars don't need
them.

The less e***d answer is simply that the real cars didn't have one (like
most racing cars), so neither does the simulation.

And the reason that most race cars don't have speedometers is because there
is only one purpose for refering to one.

To avoid a speeding ticket. Period.

Not a problem at Monza.
