...Who else sits in front of the tv watching the race with the live timing & scoring displayed on a laptop? Never seen the topic brought up before; fellow addicts please stand up.
Just go to http://www.formula1.com/race/livetiming/765.html and you can register to view live timing. I have not done it because I am never awake when the race is on. DVR is my savior.
Our races are delayed here usually 30mins to 1hr+ soo I always look at the live timing @ formula1.com b4 watching the race. I know it sorta spoils it, but I cant help it, I need to know NOW!!! Like tonites race, knowing Alonso was out, made the delayed telecast all that MORE enjoyable hahaha.
I've been watching the European races on Speed live, with the F1 timing and scoring on my laptop. It's great - it allows you to keep track of the entire field and not just what is being shown on the screen. It runs about 1 minute ahead of the telecast, so you know what they are going to say before they say it! I'm not willing to get up at 2 in the morning to the non-European races, though!
So far this year I have only been up to do this 1 time. I like it, but I have trouble watching them both. I always seemed to miss out on the TV. I will do it again in 3 weeks though. 11pm instead of 4:30am. It could be because I was Watching the TV, live timing, F-Chat thread and the Speed Channel thread all at the same time.
