The red marker is showing the highest revs at which you've run the
engine. Shift-T is a documented command and is to reset the marker. I
usually reset once each lap, at the start finish line, so I can watch
what my max RPMs are during the upcoming lap. It really helps to point
out if you are over-reving at any part of the lap.

Alt-L for Latency (internet delay, like a ping) Note: Chat window must be
CLOSED when you perform this function. Open the chat windows ("~") and you
will see the response.
Incidentally, in the chat window, you can use the up and down arrow keys to
scroll through the messages. Didn't know about this until I suddenly got
stuck not being able to see what I was typing! (finally figured it out!)

In noticed that this telltale thingy sometimes gets reset by itself. I
don't look at the gauges during a race often, and I never saw the reset
happen. But sometimes the red needle is moving simultaneously with the
rev counter, so it must have been reset.
Does anyone know why and when this happens?
Thanks,
Johan.

Shame on me.
I believe it's called a telltale reset (shift+t). It tells the tale of a
driver over revving an engine.
