Rally Car, LED Counter Question

[dabest2500]

In the Citroen C4, there's a LED Counter that has numbers on it.
What does it measure exactly?

EDIT: The Citroen C4 RALLY car

I think its the tach, so engine RPM....

 

[dabest2500]

No it's not.
It goes into the ten thousands.
When I brake or whatever, that thing still keeps going up.

 

[TouringBubble]

Turbo RPM? With anti-lag, it would stay up. No clue though ... can you get a pic?

Bob is currently doing an Endurance at the moment.
Not even halfway done.
You can have a look in a Citroen C4 rally car for yourself if you don't believe me.

isnt it obvious that it is a distance counter , i used it so i could see when i was in the last corner of some snow rally tracks.

 

[dabest2500]

What would you need a distance counter for?
Also, what's the units?

 

[TouringBubble]

We believe you ... I just have no idea what light you are talking about without seeing some kind of reference. If you could get a pic and tell me where the indicator is, I could possibly help. =)

Next to the Gear number.

It is a distance counter, meters for me at least, I tested it on Le Mans.

But what would be the point of having one?

 

[G.T.Ace]

So you know how far you are in a stage? Maybe this way it's easier to remember the track, dunno, I actually thought it's a rev meter in the real car, I was also kinda confused.

 

[TouringBubble]

Yeah, looks like distance to me too. That would be more for the navigator in a rally in case he needed to compare his pace notes with the distance traveled.

Why would you want to know how far in you are?
You have a Co-Driver.

Probably the most plausible explanation.
If only he was useful in GT5...

Stop asking me, write an e-mail to Citroen.
It definitely IS a distence counter, like I said, I tested it on Le Mans and it showed the correct distance at the line (it resets to 0 after 9999 though),

Okay, thanks for the help anyways
Citroen will probably reply quicker than PD

I think it is the cars mileometer for how far the car has gone overall since you have just started using it it is low .. When you win check it out in a race see if it has zero miles on it then what it has on after.. Then race it again if it reverts back to zero it is not the mileometer.

Er, no. Read the thread

I've already established it's not an mile counter.

 

[reverand33]

mileometer=odometer

 

[dabest2500]

mileometer=odometer

I thought as much...
