Re: Weather forecast for commentators/spectators

@jscar thats exactly right and what happens at the moment, but I've seen a few where they haven't or have forgotten to, and its spoiled the commentary a bit because the commentators don't know the full story. Plus, it may give something visual on the spectator waiting screen during race setup, instead of just the paddock.

Maybe a couple of cycling visuals on that waiting screen that cycle weather forecast, suggested pit strategies and grid lineup?

    @SmallerSmiley These commentators won’t make it to the big leagues if they forget to do the most basic research.

    Every professional commentator writes extremely detailed notes on every event they are commentating on. Track history, driver history, race history, effects weather has and the likelihood off rain. So forecasts are vital😀

    Oh yes for sure, but some people do like to casually commentate without putting in all of that time.

    Also, I'm thinking of the audience who sit and look at a static paddock for 5mins whilst the drivers get ready. It'll be some QoL eye candy for them too.
