Maybe I just haven't scanned the correct page in the manual, but why
has the pitboard gone? I find having to use F1 and F2 to get that
information back again to be a hassle. I like knowing my lap
time/speed on passing the line compared to my best previous effort.

Also, what am I doing wrong with the car setup screen. Whilst I can
select default setups (Qualify and Ace usually), each time I go back
into the setup screen they've both reverted back to Easy. What gives?

I could live without the pit board no problem. However, PAPY needs to fix
the spotters reading of the lap speed to be clearer. I often cannot
understand him. It sould read something like ....
nine - two - five for a time of 49.247 for example. The 4 and the dot
can be omitted - since they are implied. If I turn a lap at 50.21 he will
read zero - two - one. It is abvious that I did not turn a lap at 40.21 -
I would know that. This is often how the numbers are really read. This
also needs to be a bit louder - since I have to turn the spotter volume up
too loud to hear it. Allow spotter text and speech would also be helpful -
then I could read the numbers too.

The pitboard was replaced with a combination of the F1 key (if you want
to see it) and the spotter audio (press "o" to toggle on/off the spotter
calling out your lap times). The pitboard itself is not used in real
NASCAR racing unless there's a problem with the in-car radio.
