After last night's quick discussion re the pedal overlay plugin it might be helpful for people to see a screen shot of it in place.

The pedal overlay top left show 2 bars green (throttle ) and yellow (FFB). There are 2 other bars for clutch and brake in the normal order and a horizontal bar at the bottom showing the wheel. Just note that it blocks the marshals' flags to a certain extent so probably worth turning this off once you are sorted. You can do this in the single player chose options where you would normally chose the track and then the plugins option. there is a list of all the plugins, find the rF2PedalyOverlay and chose off.
The other plugin in the screenshot is the DeltaBest which shows me as live my position relative to my best lap. This is shown by a grey bar that fills to the right if you are behind and to the left if you are ahead. Maximum left or right is 2 seconds or greater difference to your best position at that point on the track. The colour of the bar shows whether you are catching or losing time and the number shows the actual time difference.
In the screenshot I am 0.57 secs ahead of my best time but as the bar is red I am going slower than I was at this point on my best lap so the -0.57 will be getting closer to 0. Not a great help in race so it can be turned off by assigning a button to it but when learning a track and trying different lines and setups I find it really helpful.
