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.

Also here's an example of ticker desync, this is just three basic tickers with the same settings. I believe when a ticker widget is hidden its timing gets messed up, so maybe that's something that can fix this issue instead.
What is wrong with using different SubWidgets as templates and switching between them? Ok, I think you need to restart the ticker in that case so you cannot do it "on the fly". But you can change bindings on the fly for your "subticker". See the ATVO theme as an example, both the V and H ticker can switch between multiple "subticker" infos (gap, interval, pitstops, etc).
Tickers that are hidden are not updating by design to avoid the theme lagging like crazy if you have 15 tickers (but only show one). I am not sure if I want to change that.
