Blue Distance Boards

The 100m distance boards around race tracks changed color to blue with white text about a year ago.

I created a feedback/feature request for this 10 months ago, hoping it would be implemented then. Although I didn't expect you to make the change back then as the change seemed to have happened mid-season, it was still such a small thing that I was somewhat hopeful.

Now one year later, with a new paid upgrade for the 2026 season, it is still not implemented, which is absolutely baffling and incredibly lazy. This is a very visible change on every race track, and would make a big difference particularly for those of us racing without racing lines.

You should make this change to accurately reflect a key piece of visual information on race tracks in Formula 1.

    Current ads are here, new SM and OT plates are here. Why are there no BLUE 100s?

    it is simple, but very criticial things for drivers.

    For those with HDR enabled, this correction is meaningful because some circuits (Australia, Baku, Miami T1, Imola) have very deep shadows.

    This is a really good point! I was thinking perhaps they didn't want to touch circuit designs at all this year, but they actually already did with the new SM/OT boards! Which makes it even weirder why they didn't just update the distance boards at the same time!

    while they are at it they should make the braker boards bigger so we can actually see them, it'll make playing without the racing line easier for those of us who want to turn it off but cant see the brake markers

    Update 1.23

    Why only vertical signs? Horizontal ones need to be made blue as well.
