I'm not a fan of the pace notes. When I hear "flat left/right", I'll understand it as you can take the turn flat without having to brake and downshift before the turn. The flat corners aren't really flat, and the difference between flat, fast and easy are ambiguous. I prefer a numeric system where you can estimate a gear corresponding to the number so it's more objective when judging the next turn (especially for a first-time run).
Pace notes are a personal thing. If you prefer numeric 1-6, if that's what works for, that's cool. Some guys use 1-7 or 1-10. Sometimes 1 is the slowest corner, sometimes it's the fastest. You just got to find what works best for you. I believe the Sebs used a numeric system where they called the angle of the corner. For myself, I've been hearing the descriptive calls for so long, when I hear numbers, it doesn't always register.
@dbwrc And to add on to that is that there are so many different variations of how drivers like their notes. Richard Burns likes them nice and early like myself, whilst others like Solberg have them very late. RBR masterclass (roadbook) is your best friend

To change it. Right click on your screen and on the top colum when it says 'Rbr.ini' change it to numeric.ini
