I've done Race Telephones at Silverstone (FIA GTs) and the radio/telephone messages from post are still recorded on a paper race log.
Because the GTs was organised by BRSCC (Midland), we would write up a pseudo observer's report from the call for anything "of interest" to be passed directly to the CoC who could then take appropriate action immediately (especially useful during a long race). There was quite a procession of drivers throughout the day! Obviously these interim reports don't replace the actual Observer's report.
