Green and red "lights" on driver dashboard?

[MrFlippant]

What are the small red and green boxes, found at the center of each driver status bar on the race dashboard page, indicating? During some racing, I noticed that one would light up green for a couple laps, then it would switch to the red one for a couple laps... I could not figure out what they were trying to indicate to me. I thought they might be lap time related, but could not work it out. Any help?

Hi Sir Flippant,

The lights are - Lane Change - brake - Stop&Go and Pit.

Hope that makes sense.

No, not the ones just below the fuel indicator. I'm talking about the two between the two lap times. The driver dashboard has the Car ID/image, fuel indicator, a lap time of some kind (last lap?), then two "lights", one that is red when lit, the other is green when lit.. then there's another lap time (best lap?), and finally the lap count.

I'm asking about the red and green lights that are between the last and best lap time boxes. I assume they have to do with lap times, but I could not work out what they were indicating.

Oh those

Green if the lap was faster than the last and Red if it was slower than the last.

[MrFlippant]

Ah, ok. Nothing to do with fastest lap, but only the most recent two laps. So, under normal racing circumstances, the light will pretty much be changing back and forth between red and green quite often. Good to know.

Yes nice little feature.

I'm going to be making a video about the dashboards some time in the future which will explain these little details to our users.

These lights were bugging me as well. Good that Greg asked.

Another mystery solved!
