Petition to go back to 3 decimal places on timing screen (lemmy.zip)

This change to single decimal on the timing sheets is ridiculous. It adds absolutely nothing and does not provide clear information about whether a car is improving per lap.

I have created a petition to return to 3 decimal places like it has been for over 20 years.

Please share and sign to put a stop to this idiocracy.

Did the mods remove it because you used an LLM to generate the petition description? Because creating a non-binding Change.org petition is textbook slacktivism?

    I didn't use LLM. Unfortunately change.org did this by itself. So what action do you do you get this ridiculous change undone? Or are you a person that can only handle a single decimal with no meaning? A lot of people follow the timing sheets and I as a fan of 20+ years, this change doesn't allow me to properly understand the timing and gaps.

    I agree with your arguement, but think 1 decimal is fine and make the list more glanceable. Looking at 100ths going up and down "arbitaraily" is not giving me info. If I want to follow a head to head more in detail I need more info like Multiviewers race trace.
