Secondary screen

A secondary monitor can be used to show race statistics. Intel's WiDi is also supported.[1]
If you are using a multi-monitor resolution in-game the secondary monitor can't be part of the spanned resolution.

Using mods

In most cases, Windows mods only need to be extracted into the game folder or the data folder. On OS X and Linux, the mod data should be extracted into <path-to-game>/share/data.
