Ran it last night, saw Rob & co in blue coming up to lap me, but never saw a blue flag. 
The blue flag is pretty small and easy to miss.
If you use the one I uploaded in the earlier post I have edited the colours so that all Driver names appear blue if they are coming up to lap you so you can see them coming in the list as yes, the flag is pretty small. I also removed the green flag as it was not very necessary. (Otherwise edit the ferito-livecar Tracker.ini file in the Config folder to suit what colours you want.)

Interestingly despite the advantage the 599's held at Mugello, 4 out of 5 drivers have them again for Spa. So it cant have been that they were that fast overall it was just as mentioned previously the way they achieved their speed. I also found them frustrating to be behind, but obviously the trick is to not get caught behind one...

Struggle street tonight. I found my car was pretty on edge and struggled to put in a great time. Had a Connection Drop in qualifying and had to quickly restart and get back in, but had time for another lap of two but not overly quick. R1: Found the game pretty stuttery but managed to avoid everyone in the first few laps but as we all now Connection Drop ended that race. R2: I think my car was to low and was catching kerb's in race one so I quickly grabbed the default setup, added some wing hoping for stability and fueled it up. In the rush I qualified right down the back for this one. Found myself behind a Ferrari which I was nearly rear ending around the bends before it would blast off down the front straight. My higher wing punished me and Marty was able to get past in the Lotus down the straight and I couldn't return the favour on the following laps. It was however good in the bends but the straight line was well down and laps times very slow. And then the connection dropped again..... so there was no option but to call it a night. Hopefully next week will be better...

Downloaded. Ran around Mugello and sure enough, higher speed cuts registered and on the fourth a drive through which I was able to clear with a run through the pits. Well done Wally.

This app places a leader board that displays your laps (i.e. 2/6 ) and your time gap to those around you.
It also has a small blue flag that displays when a lapping car approaches you from behind, and in addition
all vehicles ahead of you in the race are displayed in blue within the leader board.
Notes
It did have a green flag also, but I replaced it with a transparent one.
You can adjust the font size and transparency in the Config folder.

Yeah, the blue flag thing is a definitely a problem, I have since downloaded the blue flag app which should help because using TS is always a viable option to find as I found out the hard way. Got asked if I was racing for position panicked like an idiot when to reply but was coming up to turn 1 and completely messing it up about 4 cars went past but only lost 1 position.
Race 1: had a bit of a coming together with I'm pretty sure it was Bruce, on T3 L1 nothing major just wasn't enough room, I probably should of brake, but I don't like just randomly jamming on the brakes in a big pack like at the start of the race. Coming up to the last corner on L1 again I think some one spun on the corner before and it looked like they were going to just ended on on the infield but ended up spinning back across and stopping right where I was going to drive so I jammed on the brakes and there was a bit of a hit I think my splitter ended up yellow after it. there were a few other hits only one other but that was because I went to overtake under braking and the person behind me went to over take me and then I git a hit up the back.
Race 2: pretty standard start everyone got through the first few turns with out indecent from what I saw, again in this race I got a few taps ups the back, I musnt know how to brake of accelerate out of the corner because I got bumps on both. then on lap 18 after I went off after my incompetence to race and talk on TS I was trying to get my position back from GWyar and I got the run on him out of the back chicane, then we were comping up to the right handed kink side by side and all of a sudden I got a fairly big hit and went way off to the infield and it didn't look like GWyar got affected at all so I don't really know what happened because I'm pretty sure I left enough room for us to both get through and the amount of force from the hit seemed a lot more than what would of happened if we had just bumped in to each other. I was going to try and continue to race but I had red splitter, red rear wing, red right side, and bright yellow on both left suspensions which made my wheel need to be about 90 turned to the right to go straight and the car didnt seem to have as much go either so I just retired from the race.
Not trying to blame GWyar, I would really like to hear his side of that, I think lag may have played a part in it.
Oh well, guess I will just have to do better in the 599 next week.
There was definately some fairly savage lag spikes around the back end of R2, I had some cars disappear etc...

As another option I ran a different track map which colour codes those that are in front or behind you.
Good nights racing regardless....
Can we have a link to that app please?
Pretty sure that would be the same one as this.

I have been running it its good but found it quite confusing still during the last race, especially after the pitstop but I also just got damage and was trying to figure out if I needed to pit again or see if it was driveable enough to continue. Made it kind of hard to focus on the track map much and so I did get into Matthews way just before he pitted as he lapped me. I didnt know who I was passing for position or lapping but I onoy gained 15 spots during the race but made quite a few more passes then that so likely a few were cars I was lapping.
The blue flag app would be more handy and if it works should be encouraged for all to use it. Id love a proper real time leaderboard app showing your gaps to the 3 cars ahead and behind also showing what position they are in. This wouod also be good to see who is pitting and post their last lap time. This would be about all Id need and is similar to what all other sims have, the mp timing in AC is I think easily its weakest part.
Its almost like the game doesnt even know where anyone is most of the time, just has a transponder updating at the line and thats all it knows.
Have a look at this Marty. Haven't tried it yet but it shows the gaps etc... http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ferito-livecartracker.3420/

Managed to qualify 7th for race 1 which I was happy with.
R1: Got away smoothly and was careful, as were most, and started trying to hang with the front guys however a few laps in a spun on my own coming out of the last turn and dropped back to about 14th. However I was able to charge on and get some spots back to come home 10th.
I ran softs which proved good in that I was able to charge through and get some good passes. They did fall off a bit in the dying laps but I think the speed advantage for most of the race compensated for this.
R2: Started 6th this time. After a decent start I found myself on my own with a few guys out in front and the rest of the field gapped back behind me. I just put it into enduro mode and focused on cranking out consistent laps. Pitted at lap 14 as tyres were hanging in in the hope that I could then push the second set on the run home. Came out of the pits a spot down and then had Wally always close behind so just focussed on keeping it together which I was able to do.
Blue Flags: I think this is an issue. I came to lap Schmitt and RPM toward the second half of R2 and found they both wanted to race on making it difficult to get past and loosing a bit of time in the process. Nothing against them as it can be hard to know who you are racing.

Thats quite intersting and I noticed guy getting on gas just ahead of me everywhere when I followed him. Braking could be as I have the pedals on a linear line where default has a curve to it which guy may be using as we both have similar pedals and gteye springs, Im using the g25 he is g27 I think.
Does Guy left foot brake..? hence keeping the right foot ready to go on the gas...

Gave the car a run not too bad to drive, model looks pretty good too but likely a rip. At least its well done with proper LOD's and all lights and driver animations working. Physics not too bad Ive only driven a few HSV's never this model but its comparable maybe more grip then I remember but I tested in optimal conditions and public roads and older street tyres would be far from the same thing. Sounds probably the weakest part of the mod but I put it up on a public server at Spa if anyone wants to have a run. I was going to try it on the xgn server by bruce but didnt have the track and RD download link said 3hrs for the dl so I didnt bother.
Well I have never seen any HSV's let alone this one and despite the negative press I think you could do a lot worse..
