Default Mysterious Heads Up Display

I've been driving my 2019 Audi S5 since I bought it in late 2019. The heads up display has always shown one set of expected data items.
A few weeks ago, I discovered that a small **** on the dashboard can change the HUD to a very different display group of data items.

(See the attached image capture below)
I can find no documentation about this display!

Whatever usefulness it does have, is very limited, because some of the data values displayed are fixed, and never change.
Notably the 0:07.5 never changes at anytime. The other data items do display reasonable consistent values.
It has some other layouts, showing different data, but 0:07.5 value never changes.

Has anyone else seen this HUD display, and were the values dynamic and accurate?

Looks like a lap timer on pause.

Thanks, that looks like a reasonable guess.

I'll do some searching on Audi lap timers.
