Q: How can I see the gear I’m in when racing in Cockpit view?

A: The gear number is displayed in the little LCD display on the dashboard of each car. If this number is hard to read or you prefer a clearer readout in Cockpit view you can turn on the Cockpit Gear Display (Options -> Realism) to display the gear in the HUD. Alternatively you can toggle this display while driving by pressing the “5” key (default).
