"Read the manual", lol.. I did... only options in game is to turn off that draft tunnel thing... oh and change your cars speedometer from KMH to MPH... nothing in the manual or in game says anything about being able to turn off HUD items. Hey... I played about 20 races myself, never once got a good race because of sync issues or bugs... so I shelved it, waiting for the patches... but as a reviewer, I think (and only IMO) that Race Department has/had an obligation to tell it how it is. Believe me, I want to like the game... but if I'm going to recommended it to others for 60 bucks a pop... I want my info to be correct and accurate in a review. Love Race Department, love their past reviews... just thought they were too nice with this one.
