Driver Tracker!!

Last Sunday, 11th July, was the British Grand Prix.  I didn't write at the time, Martin obviously wasn't on full form!!  I was however excited about it and took quite a lot of screenshots.  There had been good build up to it on the radio and on Friday I heard Alan Cowey says many times on radion oxford about A43 being closed except to ticket holders!  Watched the race back at Mum's with a super duper roast - that's what sundays are all about! 

Mega excitedly, the BBC had introduced for the Driver Tracker for this race.  I can't decide which was a more momentous day: this, or the day I was introduced to livetimings.  I had heard about maps the teams had of the circuits showing where cars were on them and used them to know when to bring someone in for a pit stop.  And this was the day we got to see it too!!  Thank you BBC!  It was as fascinating as I had hoped, even watching the cars vanish off the screen when they went into the pits and then reappear at the moment further round the track.  It was interesting to see how long it took for the pack to spread out and how long it took to all bunch up again when the safety car came out.  Here are some screen shots (naturally, a static image isn't the best way to show how exciting this feature is!):
