Nice GIFs. How did you create them? Very nice and quick way to show certain moments from the race in the race report. Please make more
Btw, your replay fidelity seem to be much better than mine. For me, Lewis car is lagging and his crash looks really strange. Most opponents are jumping around and the cars that are far away doesn't have proper engine sounds.
Gifcam, it opens as an always on top window(can do full screen too), size and position it, even move it around while recording it just records whatever is visible on your screen in that window. Just run rf2 in windowed mode, for the 2 I made I was using 800x600 resolution. The bigger the res you use the shorter the gif you will have to make unless you have somewhere you can upload bigger files or resize it with Gifcam or Photoshop. It's pretty simple to operate, select 16fps from the 'Rec' drop down(max fps you can display on a browser), hit 'Rec' and 'Stop' and it will create a timeline of images that you can view in 'Edit', also clicking 'Frame' while not recording will capture an individual frame and put it in the 'Edit' timeline. If you want to clear the timeline, click the 'Rec' drop-down and click 'New' to start over. When viewing the timeline of frames right-click for options to delete frames etc., I tend to just delete from a frame to the start or end to cut around either side of what I want. The site will fill you in on everything anyway, it's an awesome tool!

Also I use photoshop to edit, resize and change properties, usually just to change the filesize, some of them can be huge.
About replay fidelity, yeah i'm suffering the same with some of the cars that are furthest away from me, stupid engine sounds, bouncing about and strange pedal telemetry. Though with the front facing view on your car I was shaking the mouse a little bit for effect
Head movement might also be working on the on board camera i'm not sure, but I do have it enabled. Fidelity set to highest value, seems not bad
