Not everyone can focus on the road and check the rev counter at the same time, some people take more time to look at any place on the screen to see the map, their place in the race, etc… That’s why I think there should be a smaller, simplified HUD option available.
A small rev counter with speed, a small position indicator, maybe even a recommended gear shift indicator, all around the car so that the player can focus on the road and not have to look away to any corner of the screen to see the information. The closest thing that matches my description that I know of is a thing in a mobile game Real Racing 3, but it doesn’t feature an analog rev counter, if one at all iirc.
An option like this would fit perfectly into both Horizon 5 and the upcoming Motorsport.
Here is how I see it: only the rev counter, speed display, gear and shift display, position and lap display would show up, as these are the most important elements players look at. The map could be shown at some other spot, but I’m not sure where that would be, same with the online race leaderboard.
