Rev lights

[Petemate]

Pardon my ignorance but does anyone know why there are no rev lights working on Lewis Hamilton's steering wheel? Noticed this in earlier races too.

I see they are working now but quite dull compared with other cars

as its a night race i assume the brightness has been reduced, just like other twilight/night races and probably in your road car too.

i like the way the backlight on the LCD screen changes when theyve got enough revs to get the next gear. nice ambient signal for the drivers

Good points Andy. But I noticed that on the other cars the lights were at full brightness. I wasn't aware that there were also beeps; so Lewis obviously prefers the lights not to be full brightness.
My car doesn't automatically adjust, and though I have to make an effort to dim them if I want them less bright, they are just right most of the time. A nice touch in this and my previous car of the same make and model is the 'night' mode - touch a button on the dash and all that shows is the speedo up to 70mph. Cool....
