Theme Preview Ep. 9: GTR

The GTR theme in TachoDash: a black screen with a huge central rev counter in blue markings and a red needle, a speedometer on the left, a red gear light top right, and two small dials on the right

Black screen, blue marks, red needles. One big dial in the middle.

The big one

The rev counter takes up most of the screen: 0 to 8, rpm x 1000 at the top, thin blue marks that glow at night, and a long red needle sweeping across them. The last few marks at the top are red.

Around it: a speedometer on the left, 0 to 360, same blue marks, same red needle.

The round light

Top right there's a round blue light with the gear number inside. When it's time to shift, the whole circle turns red. You don't read it — you just catch it going red in the corner of your eye.

That's the one in the picture above: fifth gear, circle red, 179 km/h.

Speed down in the corner

Lower right, inside the rev counter, a solid blue wedge holds the speed in big white numbers. Above it the trip and the odometer, same white.

The two small ones

Oil temperature top (H to C), fuel underneath (F to E), both with red needles. Deliberately small — you glance at them, you don't watch them.

Night

At night everything goes blue. Leave the display mode on Auto and it switches by the clock, or lock it to Day or Night yourself.

Fourth gear, holding around five thousand, 146 km/h.
Gear 4, 146 km/h.
