The only thing worse that listening to Watson ranting or rambling on about something or other is having him do so before you even get to see whatever set him off

I understand what you mean, but can't really say why it is.

All the penalties are making it hard to get a grip on what's going on.
Some track limit excursions are called and others are not. That's bit weird.
Also, sometimes a car is forced off by a car they are lapped.
It's a bit questionable if you punish for that.
That happened to the #47 IMO: forced off by a BMW.

Programming? What language?

Hahaha; I am keeping track of them too, but I'd really like to see one of the non-typical cars do well in this race for once. The NSX itself I really like as a car, and they have a top tier driving lineup, so excited to see how it does the rest of the race

Learning Swift currently. One of my 2020 goals is to have an app in the AppStore by the end of the year. I normally work in JavaScript (Google Script - like Node Lite).

gert · 24 Oct 2020, 19:14 (Ref:4012493)

The AWS 'statistics' are a bit stupid.
#111 holds the top speed at Kemmel straight - way higher than all others - but massively missed the cornerand had to shortut the next 2 corners.

More drive-throughs: Bergmeister (#22) and Abril (#4)

I'm not really paying attention but all I can hear is penalties.

Sounds cool.
I did some VB, VB.net, PHP and Javascript but gave up programming to focus on System Administration, networking, firewalls and all that

It's been a while, but it was just shown on TV while doing a pit stop.

You have my respect

I switched career last year after teaching myself some JavaScript. Someone was daft enough to give me a job. Now I do internal apps and scripts to automate spreadsheets and stuff, and admin our hardware etc. I think I'm like a super junior version of you

Networking hurts my head, don't know how you do it.

Currently working on an iOS app that will hopefully be useful to any iPhone user on this forum one day.

Next thing you'll hear is FCY and SC. That's not much better.

EDIT: That has been avoided, just more drive-throughs. #31 Van Der Linde this time.

bentley speed 8 · 24 Oct 2020, 19:25 (Ref:4012502)

Another drive through, this time for the 2nd placed #31

I think programming and scripting is super interesting, I just can't keep doing it all. There's no way I can keep up with all evolution.

Scripting (bash; powerscript) still is part of my job, but I had to give up on the rest

Drive-through penalty for Abril in the #4 Mercedes

DT Confirmed. I think that's the earlier one that they were disputing, and had not yet done.

Honda in 11th, but it will gain another place with the drive-through of #4

Not a good race for BMW. Highest placed one (#35) is in 18th, a lap down.
Not a good race for Bentley either, at least they still have a car on the lead lap (#3)

Ferrari333SP · 24 Oct 2020, 19:35 (Ref:4012506)

Honda up to 10th

tux · 24 Oct 2020, 19:38 (Ref:4012507)

I’ve noticed that #88 & #31 have blacked out their digital dashboards on the onboards since qualifying. You could clearly read the tyre information during practice and qualifying 😂

Edit: I think it’s a broadcast thing, on the live broadcast the #93 Ferrari also has its dashboard blanked out but on the cars dedicated onboard channel on YouTube you can still read it. Interesting being able to read the car data.

gert · 24 Oct 2020, 19:40 (Ref:4012508)

Lead change. Sadly, we didn't see it

gert · 24 Oct 2020, 19:42 (Ref:4012509)

Lapped AKKA ASP car badly holding up and blocking Caldarelli, and helping out his team mate.
Not really fair play, there.

gert · 24 Oct 2020, 19:47 (Ref:4012511)

Fisichella may be the star driver in #93, but Cheever III has been the fastest one.

gert · 24 Oct 2020, 19:48 (Ref:4012512)

FCY ...

21:47:26 ...

What for?
#26 in the wall at Blanchimont, it seems

Ferrari333SP · 24 Oct 2020, 19:49 (Ref:4012514)

Honda up to 9th
