Notes
- Pole Position - #17 Dick Johnson - 1:20.61
- Fastest Lap - #6 Andrew Miedecke - 1:17.02
gollark: Anyway, if you could make it past that to one of the content pages, they would each have their own loading screens, probably prompt you for the newsletter again, have more irrelevant shiny images, and have excessively large text and a UI designed for 3.5" mobile phone screens.
gollark: They would have close buttons but they would only work 50% of the time.
gollark: Oh, and ones asking for cookie consent and newsletter signup.
gollark: But there would also be a popup asking you to download the app, which would not actually work because I'm not making an app, as well as one asking you to add it to your home screen as a PWA.
gollark: Then it would load into a page containing a bunch of links to all the actual *content*, but each would have a vaguely nice-looking but irrelevant image to occupy half the page and also your internet connection.
