I'm sorry this is a really noob question but can anybody please tell me how you bring the time difference between racers up while you are racing. Broughy does it all the time in his videos and I have no idea how you do this.

I really wouldnt do it tbh. Hes only doing it for the viewers. Beyond the fact that its distracting as hell it creates massive lag on your end. At least on 360 and ps3 anyways.

I still do it even though I can't read it that well because my TV sucks but I don't find it too distracting and I always make sure to do it on a straightaway when I'm on my own to see how far off everyone else is.

Straightaway or not it still creates massive lag on your end that can result in seconds of lost time.

Thanks a lot I only plan on using it rarely when I'm in first and to let me know if I can ease up a bit and still win or if I have to keep on the edge.

In my opinion the mini-map is easier to use to judge if you need to defend or not. Once you get used to it, it works like a charm.

I don't find it ever necessary in the first place

Either the mini map or my ears to hear approaching competitors. Better to just concentrate on your own attacking instead of worring about others behind you. The best defense... Is a good offense.

I've lost a few places since I like knowing where everyone is because of that down button, it started about 3 updates ago if I can remember.
It also lags me in freeroam which is also annoying, but I am finding a way to put that enderman ability to use with those hit n' runners

Yeah its pretty severe. Broughy commented probably every single time he did it in the MCER that he was losing lots of time but he didnt mind because he was doing it for the viewers.

So I understand that I am not the only one getting a massive lagspike and sometimes even fps bump when putting op the timetable? Though it wasn't like that till the Highlife update I think?
