We used to do that all the time in LFS when it was the only PC racing game to play. There was a game elapsed time that keeps going and we just follow it. I think at GT5 we did the same thing. Like, the clock is going but then people don't go at 00 so we wait until say 15 or if we don't feel like waiting too long for 30 we go on 25.
The 3 beep thing is very inaccurate also when people do the random flash thing on the cell phone at night or a hands dropping flash thing this isn't accurate. It would be easier to see like 05.100, 05.200, etc. then like 09.900 then go!
The lack of a synchronized clock system was the reason for all these inferior methods of the past. I think the Apple watch has the same sync and/or any Modern smartwatch has the same syncronized time thing so that could be connected to a huge app on a tablet or something w/ peripheral bluetooth support so it could be seen huge.
We just need accurate comparisons. When people get a sleight jump in a drag it's hard to compare this way.
