Quick stop and simple fix, but with no yellows it is costly. At the moment.

Lots of rubbish and dust around today.

So Leigh duffy just admitted that they were having issues with the names on the timing / scoring so their ginormous "scoring tower" was not only blocking 1/4 of the screen, it's not even 100% accurate...

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 20:39 (Ref:3953435)

The driver names are also being reported wrong on all of the timing systems. I suspect this is related to the faulty sensors.

A piece of its own windscreen visor it seems

The source data is incorrect. All of the screens are providing the wrong names, and about half of them have the wrong pit lane data too. Hopefully this is fixable.

As I type this, the names just changed, as did the pit numbers...

Some are OK I think: Nunez, Cameron, Hunter-Reay (*)
Barbosa is wrong, I think

Don't know about Briscoe. Has he been since the start?

(*) They were updated not too long ago

EDIT:
driver names are being updated right now, with the cars on track.
Also the number of pitstops have been updated

Is Brisco not right? Bourdais in the Mustang Sampling Caddy.

Nah. There's a group of us. It's like AA and we all need to go through the 12 steps.

And I've had it out for NBC since they split the EPL up with Gold. Now they're spiting up everything so we're all extra cranky.

The breakout screen interviews are highly annoying too but that's okay. I found a YouTube stream. Hope it holds...

Maybe it is, but then he has been the only driver in #10 so far.
I think most - if not all - others have changed drivers by now, some even multiple times.

Impressive job by him, then. He's been very fast and made great progress

EDIT: Briscoe up to 2nd, and another fastest lap.

To be fair, it's only 2 hours in, so it's reasonable to do a 3 hour stint I guess.

Cameron falling back in the Acura. Helio bringing the sister car forward.

A few custard creams and a third tea this afternoon here as well. Wife testing recipes for Super Bowl party game day class this afternoon so plenty of nibbles.

It sure is. Just so different from what others are doing.

J Jay · 25 Jan 2020, 20:51 (Ref:3953446)

#10 starting to show its hand. Briscoe has been relentlessly consistent, now up to second and matching Nunez.

Then click the "off" button. don't provide the info if it's not accurate.

Still annoying to have 1/4 of the screen covered by scoring tower that I have on my computer and phone

C6R Racing Fan · 25 Jan 2020, 20:52 (Ref:3953448)

Kamu (in the #10) really throwing down some laps. Has ran 2 best overalls in the best 5-7.

Kamui took over about 10min ago

Bah, I forgot about the timing updates. Thanks for the correction.

#62 Risi in pits with flat rear

Is it Kamui? Both timing and Hindhaugh/Saw say it's Briscoe.
Most driver id's have been updated, but not #10. So maybe still Briscoe?

It is indeed Kobayashi in the car. Team has confirmed it.

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 20:56 (Ref:3953454)

Timing just updated to show Kobayashi in it lol.

Would you be kind enough to PM that link to me? Understood if not for any reason.

gert · 25 Jan 2020, 20:57 (Ref:3953456)

Right, just while I was typing it, timing updates #10 to Kamui. Thanks a lot

That was a late update compared to the other cars

Then both have been impressive.
Briscoe too had a few fastest laps during his stints

Akrapovic · 25 Jan 2020, 20:58 (Ref:3953457)

DPi 3rd to 5th is condensing. That'll be fun soon. Helio is catching RHR, who is catching Cameron.

gert · 25 Jan 2020, 20:59 (Ref:3953459)

#6 in. way too early I think?
