Well, as I had mentioned I could not hear the other voice output cause of the music, but if it was telling me lap count or my position as being in first or third. If not something to tell mehow many car length meI amay from the next postion. Say in ma in third place and want to know how far away second place is. a number like 5 could be outputed by voice saying. Your in third place second place is 5 car lengths. A hot key could do this. A shift plus hotkey tell you position 4 say 17 cars lengths back. If you were leading it both keys keys strokes just give you the second place distance.
This info will allow you to decide if you need to charge or darive safe. A leader hot key would help you know how far behind you are.. If you are say a lap down then the car lengh would be in the hundreds.. Then if your in last the hot keys would give you the distance of the car head and letting you know your in last place. With all this input you can get a idea how your dong and what you need to do before the next pit stop break. A lot of different stratigy here to be used to make you win the race. Winning a race is not just on being the fastest, but making the right calls. Gas usage and tire wear are big factors and at the times you can save your car to make charges to the front when needed. Audio check ups to let you know your gas, Engine temp, and Revs. Tires is a judgment call so really no audio is needed. If these things were included with North's audio that be good. If not to mess with these audio clips then the track announcer can give this into about crashes. Saying there is a crash on the back strech or in turn 2.. Also saying if the crash is aginst the wall or middle or low on the track. There could be just cars all over the place can could be refered to this as well.. If we hear a red flag come out with out a yellow that will let the driver know there is no way of getting through and drivrs must slow down to a stop. Lastly back on the start of a race, even before the green and climbing up to speed , racers must warm up tires. This is done and needed if the cars have been sitting for some time. When the game starts as you said we will be starting slow before the green drops. This may be a little quick. I susgest that the race starts with engine idleing or the engine turns over when your place in the car. Then ina few seconds the paradeof cars start to move. A specific sounds effect can let you know the parade starts. This sounds ccould be the others cars rev up hiher. If you hapen to be on the pole the race parade will not start until you step on the gas. this first lap which does not count in the race since the green flap has not come out yet. This lap is to get the tires warmed up. Drivers in the parade who may want the tires to heat up quickly will weave back and forth. Hearing a car head of you weaving should be heard. This may sound like a car is gong frm one speaker to the other.. Cars will being doing this on the straight aways for a few seconds at a time. So you can imagine most of these moves are done in the middle of the straights not before turns. If you happen not to to do this your car may not get as much as as other cards when the green drops and taking turns may be more harder to grip. ONce this lap is completed the pace car will gain speed and so does the pack. During this time you may need to adjust your placement in the lineup so the green flag can drop. If you are to high or low and not behind a car that is lineup correctly the green should not come out. If you go to fast and end up pass some onethe race can not start, but if to slow and you are lineuped OK the flag man will give the green. So, to help with this is to know your speed or pit cheif could let you know to backoff or speed up a bit to get back in line. This sould be part of Raceway, and if you don't get in line in the parade after a few laps you white flag with a back stripe and the game then should bring you to the pits for penities, so the other drivers can get the race going. This happens rarely, cause the cars are not going to have problems at the start of the race and rookie drivers in real life will have enough skill to not be able to keep in line. The game could make sure you don't get to far out of lineup say by going to fast or to slow and or to high or to low. Leaving it up to the driver will keep it real and force the driver to have a learning curve in the game AS a Sim or game you must master certain things to move on to say the next level of play. Getting practice on tracks then making the time trails to get into a race the next step is able to drive around the track in a lineup before a race starts. AS the demo may not include this part of the race is understandable since you want to get to what the game is all about.
