Fantastic clean sim racing. This has so much style and the car feels alive. I love your work; godspeed on finishing this one.
RPM gauge is readable and intuitive. Might consider a UI slider for speed, too, so we can develop an intuition for downshifting. Also might consider a Gear slider in addition to the raw number. With some very simple UI bits I think shifting in manual might become more natural as part of player peripheral vision.
