Inform which lap was best lap

Not sure if that’s necessary all the time, but at least when you improve the best lap for a race, it would be great to know at which lap you did that.

Sounds like a good idea.

the good old cronometer can be the solution. Trackmania is very straightforward with this:

  • the clock sits in somewhere visible
  • a checkpoint shows the time when it was reached
    • if it is a multilap, show a separate clock with the time relative to the current lap
    • if a ghost is in the race, or if you have a previous record, or if you're behind someone in a race, show the time difference for this checkpoint, comparing the times when each player has reached.
      • +{time} if you're behind, -{time} if you're ahead

also, just a text for "new best lap" showing for 3 seconds during the race can be enough to show best times in mid-race.

  • make sure the text has a contrasting outline or background to keep it readable
  • maybe showing the medal or text color to show as personal bests could be good.

what do you think? :3

The "new best lap" label is a good idea.
