A car in the center mirror is behind you, and a car in either of the side mirrors is beside you. Your F2 key toggled shows you your relative position to other drivers on the track. If the other driver shows up RED, he is lapping you. And you will show up yellow on your screen. Use your autochat to send messages that will tell others of your intentions.
Wreck ahead watch out.
Variations may be made to the official autochat messages as long as they reflect the same message and are not derogatory. No other chat will be permitted during the race. Too much chatter gets real confusing as well as destructive to order. An automatic penalty of 1 lap will be issued for unauthorized chat. If the chat is really excessive it can result in DQ and suspension.
