In real broadcasts most tickers have a second section that could switch between a variety of data on the fly, such as gap to the leader, manufacturer, last lap speed, etc.
The only way to do this currently is if you have a premade widget for each type of data that you'd like to show, and there's no good way to transition between each type. It's possible to add a second ticker underneath the first ticker that would contain this data, however it gets out of sync frequently, even with strong computers.
I'd like to suggest a "subticker" of sorts that attaches to the main ticker widget. You could have a variety of subtickers, changeable with buttons or dropdowns maybe, but it wouldn't interrupt the main running order ticker.
