I think the primary rule is to show the car A with the least amount of advantage (margin) to the following car B. I've been shown a couple of times despite not having had a skin.

Then again, I would also like to suggest an additional rule, in case that information is available and consistent among cars:
When selecting a front-facing camera (onboard, hood etc.) show car B instead of A. Otherwise you just get dull coverage of the track in front.

Hi

Many thanks,

Paddy

it is all automated and random camera views I'm sure, no preferences or favorite drivers, although it may focus on certain positions more than others....you would have to go to the app or plug in source and modify it for any changes in how the app works and that would require some work. Just like in real life, the camera sometimes misses the action and needs a human to tell it where the action is, unless it could focus on where contact is made, but then it would be focusing on the mid to rear pack constantly, but then again, it could focus on the overtakes too but like i said, that requires work and time. it would be an app or plug in downloaded from places like this...   https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/categories/ac-apps.4/?order=download_count apps and plugins for a server

someone would have to edit the files and SRS admins don't do many changes at the drop of a hat..lol....they could just take out all camera views that are irrelevant and show all TV views or preferred views but it would still miss some of the action.

I thought it might be a programming algorithm that watches for close deltas and could be modified to step back one car for that view.
Either way, still fun to watch on youtube.

Not sure if I´m on the right place but.....

Some broadcasts or all of them since some days ago are showing the title as "Tatuus @ Monza 22:00....". Don´t know whats wrong, but other series are showing this name and it´s difficult to find, as an example, the Audi TT race or any other broadcasts...

Indeed. I Made a skin for Sérgio Silva with a big SRS sponsor and color.. Guess whats the most filmed car?! Guess what skin the SRS admin uses?! Also i got to notice they film a lot the Spanish and Portuguese guys.
