Photo Mode

We’re not finished yet; we’re also rolling out Photo Mode for all platforms, having previously only been available on PC, so you’ll be able to showcase those perfect moments whether you’re playing on PC, PS4 or Xbox One.

Spectator Mode

That’s not all though, patch 1.8 also contains a brand new spectator mode. You can see how this is going to look below:

So, what’s been added to spectator mode? The left side of the screen will feature a TV style broadcast element, which, along with showing the current running order, can also show different information, such as:

• gap to the race leader
• gap to the car ahead or behind
• positions lost or gained
• fastest lap times
• current tyre compound
• in the pits
• number of pit stops

As a spectator, you’ll be able to control what information is shown. You’ll also be able to see live timing for the car you’re spectating, fastest laps, as well as sector specific yellow flags. If you don’t want to see any of this information as a spectator, though, you will be able to disable (or enable!) as you please.

The new Spectator Mode, how can I use it? Is there some button or so which I can change the view? I didn't find anything from the option menus.
