N3 Rev-Limiter???

The auto-brake was never meant to be used as a rev-limiter and the
in-car toggle for this driving aid was removed to prevent it's "abuse"
in the manner.  Those new to the game who use it as intended (that
being mainly as an aid in braking for turns) can still enable it in
the options menu.

Eric,

Any indication if the patch will include a faster spotter when going into
pitroad ? Ex : I jump into a race without qualify and I need to pit.  It
will be too late until the spotter tells me the RPM to stay below in the
pitroad, since when he says it Im actually "on" pitroad, while in N2/NR99 it
was much before.  It would seriously help, you know sometimes you simply
forget what the pitspeed is, and in a league race it can be something very
important ;)

Spotter is also _way_ late in telling you about damage, too.  I've had a
wheel missing, and ended up in the wall in turn 1 before the spotter said
"You have heavy wheel damage".

No kidding :)
