Wouldn't it be cool and add to the realism if we had a formation lap before every race? Each drivers name could flash up as they pull away to add to the tension. It would happen during the countdown to the start so wouldn't take up any extra time and could be automated so no need for managers to do anything.
Really like the idea. 1 problem:lag. Lag has already been making managing races hard and I think formation laps might be hard for mobile users to handle. Great idea though
