So, for clearing up things... because I didn't buy KERS because I don't have the 2D view.
KERS will be used by the driver even if its in "Timing View" or when you don't watch the race at all?
Let me also add in a little plug for buying the 2D. I own so many people in my league because they are too cheep to pay for the 2D. If you can manually use KERS, then you can push yourself at times just before the DERS section and really make some good times. I see so many people that follow lap after lap 1.2 seconds behind a guy, and not get to use DERS.
