When I first noticed the "red number" which is right next to the # gear you're in while you're driving, it was in GT3. In GT3 it's purpose was quite vague and wasn't able to affirm its purpose until GT4 came around. When I played GT4 I saw that it became more clear about its purpose, its purpose is to let you know what gear you should be in when you hit a turn on the map while racing. If you're going too fast, it'll say +4 when you're in 5th gear lit on and will blink rapidly as you approach the turn.
Now, first of all I would like to know if anyone was even aware of this little red number beside the gear #? Two I would like to know if information pertaining to this is even mentioned on this site.
And finally, the most important part, does anyone feel that this addition makes the game too easy? Now that I'm aware of its purpose, I feel it makes racing too easy because it lets me know when I should slow down and how much to slow down since it'll disappear when going adequate speed for given turn intensity, car weight, and tire performance. Is there discussion of any sort on this subject?
