Could we get more identifiers for spreadsheets?

Hey guys - possible to give us some more identifiers for spreadsheets? I'd like to use a spreadsheet to hold track data (more stuff than the sim reports) and I'd rather not use a script, it'd be easier just to bind labels right to the column with all the information.

Could we get more identifiers like Car Type, Track Name, etc? Thanks guys!

I have to check to make sure, but I think the spreadsheet data bindings can only link to results (e.g. driver results), not to cars or tracks. I would have to add a new kind of databinding for that and also give you some way to tell what type of binding the spreadsheet uses. I have to think about it, it's definitely not as easy as just adding new identifiers.

Thanks Nick - I definitely think it's something people would use, especially for tracks. I find a lot of the times, the track corner data doesn't match widely accepted values (VIR being 20 turns, official track map has 17) and it would allow us to put other values like banking, date built, etc.

Giving this a big ol bump since I'm having a similar issue.

I want to list a condensed track name on the top of the ticker, but none of the predefined bindings really fit what I want to do. Is there a way to script something that connects the numerical trackid and data in a CSV?
