I must have a rookie spotter because a lot of times he is a little too late
with his help.  Like sometimes after-the-fact late.  So I was wondering: why
not hook up another computer (like this one after I upgrade to a 1Ghz) via
LAN (having to purchase another N4 CD of course) so that when racing on line
I can have two monitors.  The main monitor would be set to the normal in-car
view, the other could be placed near it set to helicopter view, or whatever.
Wouldn't this go a long way to preventing online accidents?  Wouldn't it be
similar to real world perhiperal vision?  Or would it be cheating?  Just
wondering.

Logistically, this would be a nightmare to implement, but an interesting
idea nonetheless :)

The spotter lag is a serious issue with N4.  Not reporting damage to you is
another problem, or reporting it AFTER you passed the damned pit entrance.
That one really gets on my nerves.
