This suggestion is to provide standard multi-screen support for B-Spec races, essentially treating B-Spec similarly to replays. The view would be extended to all screens.

As an extension to the above, it would be nice to have the option to use the extended screen real estate for race management information.

These images below may help in understanding the principle of this suggestion.

And these words (found via Google, not mine) may inspire some of the sorts of functionality which could be a part of a future B-Spec.

GPS, Video and Audio: Live video feeds of race data are shown in user-configurable screen layouts with the ability to pause and rewind the stream.

Strategy: The relative positions of all the cars on the track are displayed on a map. A 'ghost car' on the dashboard allows for 'what if' scenarios to perfectly time re-entry after pit stops.

Data Analysis: Speed traces from competitors is analyzed and used to compare the MVR-02 to the rest of the field in key performance areas.

Launch Analysis: The dashboard provides an analysis of the race start performance of each competitor in the race.

Review: From the dashboard, race engineers replay the whole weekend of video, audio, and GPS information as a review process.

If you watched the Audi "Truth in 24" movies (free on iTunes in the US), you may recall that the Audi team had their own weather radar and forecasting system which they used to great effect to manage tire changes. I could see a simplified form of this as being a part of the function.

I have tried to be a little vague in definition of function in the hope that your creative juices will be inspired to add your own pet desires. Go for it!
