“I preferred to provide what we see in the course of a race weekend, when you are sitting down on a pit wall and you have received all of all those squiggly traces and the myriad of information and information resources, which is some thing that the enthusiasts hardly ever get to see. It is a critical and integral component of Components one, of any motorsport.

“It’s just about bringing snippets of that in what we connect with ‘human readable format’ – you should not have to have a maths diploma to have an understanding of it. But with any luck , it is doing work.”
