At least iRacing has something like this,\nand I haven't seen it done yet for rF2.\nMaybe TrackMap plugin has this, but I don't use TrackMap,\nso I don't know.\n\n== Proof! ==\n\nScreenshot or it didn't happen:\n\n  http://i.imgur.com/G3WvRjf.jpg\n\nEven video:\n\n  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKzknrxRU8s\n\nThe idea is that you are shown in realtime the difference (split)\nbetween the current lap and your best lap of the current session.\n\n== Changelog ==\n\n2017/02/25 - v24/Nola\n\n    Fixed a cosmetic bug in how the best lap time is displayed\n    when a session is loaded or when a new best lap is saved.\n    A laptime of \"2:02.058\" would be displayed as \"2:2.058\".\n\n2016/09/25 - v23/Anderstorp\n\n    (v21 and v22 were just test versions with limited distribution)\n\n    Fixed a few logic mistakes in how the best lap is saved. Now the\n    best lap time should be saved more accurately.\n\n    Added a chat message when a best lap is restored from file, so\n    you will know what is your best time in the same car/track\n    combination.\n\n    Changed how the Delta info is shown. Now it's never shown when\n    the player is in the pits, and should be there from the first\n    timed lap whenever you already have a saved lap from before.\n\n2015/10/24 - v20/RoadAmerica\n\n    Fixed the activation logic for the plugin. Since v19 sometimes the\n    plugin would start to show in monitor mode as well.\n\n2015/10/23 - v19/Nords\n\n    Plugin will now work after a race restart.\n    Possibly also when doing driver swaps, but I haven't been able to\n    fully test that case yet.\n\n2015/08/19 - v18/Targa\n2015/08/02 - v17/Indy (never released publicly)\n\n    Best laps now persist to disk, so when you start a new\n    session but you already had a best lap, this is automatically restored\n    from disk, and you can get the delta best timing straight away from\n    the first lap.\n\n    The Delta Best lap files will be saved in the rFactor2 user folder\n    into the \"rFactor2\\Userdata\\player\\Settings\\DeltaBest\" path.\n    If that path doesn't exist, it will be created.\n\n== Installation ==\n\nCopy the content of the zip file (all files, maybe except\nthe README.txt) into your rFactor2 plugins folder,\nmost likely a directory like this:\n\n  \"D:\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\rFactor 2\\Bin64\\Plugins\"\n\nYou can omit this README.txt.\n\nFor the INI file to be used, copy the provided example\ncalled \"DeltaBest.example.ini\" into \"DeltaBest.ini\"\nand modify at will.\n\nIf you don't rename it, it won't be used.\n\n== Note for 32-bit builds ==\n\n32-bit builds are not supported anymore. 64-bit builds are the only\npractical choice nowadays.\n\n== Status ==\n\nCurrently it works. It is quite accurate, but sometimes the\ndelta time reading goes off for an instant.\nThere's also a dynamic colored bar that shows exactly where\nyou are losing (red) or gaining time (green), regardless of your\nactual difference to best lap. Both the bar and the time can\nbe disabled via the ini file.\n\nThat is quite an effective way to improve your lap times,\nand get to learn a track.\n\n== Customizing plugin position and appearance ==\n\nFrom version 9 the plugin is completely configurable via an ini file.\n\nYou can customise how the time appears on screen by creating\nthis INI file. The INI file must be called \"DeltaBest.ini\"\nand must be placed in the same Plugins folder as the \"DeltaBest.dll\"\nfile itself.\n\nAn example of INI file that you can change at will is bundled\nin this zip file as \"DeltaBest.example.ini\". If you want to customise\nthe plugin, copy that file in \"DeltaBest.ini\" and change at will.\n\nExamples of things you can do:\n\n- customize the font face and size of the delta time text\n- switch off the dynamic colored bar and leave just the time text\n- switch off the delta time and leave just the bar\n- modify the default shortcut key to toggle the display of\n  the plugin (default is \u003cCTRL\u003e + d)\n- modify position, width and height of either the bar or the text\n\n== For feedback ==\n\nFeedback on bugs, feature requests, generous donations :)\netc... are appreciated:\n\n  https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/delta-best-plugin-for-rfactor-2.43399/\n\nHave fun,\n\n-- \nCosimo\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcosimo%2Frfactor2-deltabest","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcosimo%2Frfactor2-deltabest","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcosimo%2Frfactor2-deltabest/lists"}
