In career mode I want to know details.... how many poles I have, fastest lap time at each track, each season...etc. and I also want to know what adjustint my "aerodynamics" or "PSI" up or down means.  an we get a guide to explain it?

Game is crying out telemetry. The most data intense sport on the planet and the best they have done on any of the F1 releases is the Tyre Wear bar during the wear tests. F1 Cars have something like 200 sensors, over a weekend they can produce 35 Billion data points.

But those data points have to be analyzed by some old men with PhDs before it's actually meaningful to F1 teams. I don't know how many people actually want to parse through 35 billion data points. I mean, barring ERS, we have enough info to keep it simple enough for newbies, and involved enough for experienced players, in my opinion.

I'm not asking for the 35 Billion Data points. I'm asking for more than what there currently is. Look at the telemetry pCars provides, its complicated if you want to analyze everything, but there are basic points of information which are massively helpful to even a novice - setup and lap times can be helped a lot by the information you get here even without you necessarily being Gary Anderson or Adrian Newey.

Its much more important for this to be added, along with realistic on wheel HUD, than any of the stupid customizable Helmet crap I see people posting about. If the games has limited time in Dev I'd prefer they look at adding value to the game rather than a fancier color pallete for my helmet. As we've seen, loading the avatars and helmets for the custom drivers seems to cause FPS issues already lol

Okay fair enough, I got distracted by the 35 billion data points comment. You're right, some basic telemetry plots with like braking points and speed through corners and whatnot would make setting up the car a lot easier.

You should be able to go back into each race and see the full result from the weekend. Practise times, the qualifying split down and the race result. 

Right now just seeing your trophies is quite poor considering it can all be written to a HDD when each session is complete.

I remember when games atleast had a room for your trophies and you cool look back at them all. Now it's just like oh yeah you won this heres a screen saying you've won... boooooring. Put some celebrations into winning or something something to make it rewarding.
