start-tones in motorsport
FCS
I spent a little time considering start-
tones broadcast to drivers, first in Grands
Prix Formula One then down the line
a little through semi-pro into amateur
Moto-X and grasstrack and so on. The
idea being that rather having a traffic-
light display system, which don't conform
to such a universal homogeneity as uk-
based fans might assume--though this,
obviously, is the drivers' themselves fault.
Once I'd had a bit of fun playing with pole
getting a pea-whistle or hooter or moo
and thought of implications for training
simulators on whether the tones were
grid-position related or assigned at series
start, and whether first and last might
have small, bookended ranges, I thought
about the more informal sports participation.
At this point I did appreciate that although
radio patches do augment broadcast
coverage already - with pitting and other
comments from teams to drivers coming
over like a '70s taxicab carry-on, the basic
principle of associative preparatory cueuing
could be done easily enough with helmet
technology, indeed,sufficiently flexible a
few years' development may be required
for individual tracks. It does create a slightly
different polyVenn(*) of competitive fulcra
but seems to hae potential enough to be
worth floating where it may get applied.
(*) method of memory/information interfacing
with electrical properties appearing to make
it worth considering for practical application in
Quantum chipset result handling.
