Something to signal that i am lapped

(italian below)
Dear developers,

Unless I am missing something that is already there but we have not noticed, I am wondering whether it would be possible to add something in-game to show that a driver is lapped. In our league, it happens that driver A ends up fighting for position with driver B who is lapped, just because A does not know that B is lapped. I know that helicorsa helps with this, and that a closer look at the leaderboard can surely help. But I cannot judge a driver who, in the middle of the race, does not find the concentration to pay attention to these things.

My proposal would be to add a blue square or triangle to the name labels on top of the cars. It looks like something that would not change the graphics of the game too much, but help.

Of course I understand this is not a big priority and that it might be harder than I can think to implement it---I know nothing about programming. Just making a suggestion and see what you guys think.

Thank you

Cari developers,

a meno che non mi sia sfuggito qualcosa che già c'è ma che non abbiamo notato, mi chiedo se sia possible introdurre qualcosa che in-game suggerisca che un pilota è doppiato. Nella nostra lega succede che a volte il pilota A lotta con B che è doppiato, solo perché A non sa che B è doppiato. So che helicorsa può aiutare in questi casi, così come uno sguardo attento alla leaderboard. Ma non me la sento di giudicare un pilota che, nel mezzo della gara, non trova la concentrazione necessaria per fare attenzione a questi dettagli.

Una mia proposta sarebbe l'introduzione di un quadrato o triangolo blu al nome (sopra la vettura) del pilota doppiato. Mi sembra che non cambi molto la grafica del gioco, ma che potrebbe aiutare.

Ovviamente capisco che questa non è una priorità e che possa essere più difficile da implementare di quello che credo---non so nulla di programming. Quindi il mio è solo un suggerimento in attesa di vedere che ne pensate.

Grazie

 

Doesn't the to be lapped guy, see a bleu flag left top corner..??

 

I am talking about when the lapped guy tries to unlap himself. It can happen in longer races if the lapped guy is a fast one but has had a crash.

Following my example above: Driver B (the lapped guy) sees the flag, but driver A (not lapped) does not know what B sees. So driver A defends his position for dear life, when instead B just wants to unlap himself.

 

Ah ok, now I get it...Tnx for explaning

 

Maybe he means it the other way 'round...show the guy behind that it's a lapped car ahead. This way you can decide wether you race after him or just let him go and finish your race, safely.

 

that is another case---perhaps as relevant as the one I had in mind (see my answer to GTHQ_koop).
