I have now put 2 RSS feeds at the bottom of the right hand bar for those of you who know how to use them for updates.

TJ13 is now also on Facebook. Like us in the toolbar on the right if you’re a FB’er.

Back in home Chambers. It’s 01:40 and I’ve just completed the following. News round up and comment back tomorrow.

I mentioned in one of my previous posts from Jerez the TJ13 vision. However, seeing as we have not yet consigned this to parchment, framed upon my wall, forgive me if the wording varies. The essential element of the vision is, ‘bringing fans closer to F1 by pushing social media boundaries’.

I know that many of you simply visit this blog via your web browser and have no interest in face book, linked in, twitter et al – and that is fine by me.

However, I have been on a technological and experiential journey over the past year and it has not been intentional in any way. My technological advances in social media have been typified by the need to do something fast – and so I learn to do it myself or with some quick help with the tools available.

Twitter was one of those things I had no time for. In days of yore, I couldn’t be doing with people telling me they’d just eaten lettuce, been to the toilet or woken up at 2 in the afternoon. Those kind of posts epitomised twitter for me.

Yet I’ve learned through F1 that twitter is so much more. Some of the F1 teams have embraced twitter, but it appears they fit mostly into the category of those disseminating infomation about lettuce, toilets and waking patterns.

On Friday morning, I was thinking about people sat at home watching test feeds from the BBC and sites similar to this. I remember doing this myself in 2012 during the 1st Barcelona test. The BBC text feed is on a page on their site which is updated with a new paragraph every 5-10 minutes but it is run buy people back in the UK. Whilst they do a pretty good job, they are not on location and the whole feed is predominently set against the constant reporting of lap times – which in Jerez are not particularly relevant.

So without planning I decided to do a live report for the 25 minutes before the session began. The pictures were there for all to see, but I added some audio which requires Quick Player to be played on a computer (Free PC player) or an app on a mobile device called Voice Changer Plus.

This is what I produced. (You need Quick Time Player to hear the audio clips I posted. Its free to download).

#f1 Morning all, here’s a flavour of what’s going on.

#f1 A Renault engine breaks the stillness over th track http://v.v-p.me/aLfjw6k 

#f1 And now just the other kind of tweeters http://v.v-p.me/5VN4uis 

#f1 pit lane deserted and the prancing horse gurgles briefly, as though clearing its throat…silence again.

#f1 It’s cold. Very cold and just 16 mins before he presses the button for the green lights and the last day in Jerez

#f1 Will be easy day for PR. No corporate guests in today for breakfast. Many media left last night after Kimi

interview

#f1 When Alonso drives, the main stand is half full by 0830. Not 1 person amongst the 4000 empty seats.

#f1 First ray of warmth hits me as in 2 minutes the sun appears from nowhere. A Merc splutters reluctantly into life.

#F1 Ferrari temp hospitality looks like a high class bordello, still sleeping after an eventful evening. No one there

#f1 1 min to go. 7 fans in main stand the other side of the track. I can hear what they are saying. Silenced garages http://v.v-p.me/6Vk3kty 

#f1 WOW. Seconds after green lights, Caterham shatters the silence, then Lotus, TR, Sauber. FI now. No more birdsong http://v.v-p.me/BS4yZi 

#f1 Will try posting vid clips on YouTube. Thejudgethirteen channel. 3G poor. Let me know if they are going up please.

I hoped that gave those following an enhanced experience of what was the build up to the final days runing in Jerez.

During the week in Jerez I had seen consistent objections from F1 supporters over the lack of pictures and video from the test. I have a pretty decent video camera but you need great WIFI to send the video online. Jerez did not have this, even in our Hotel – which was not inexpensive – to send a 5MG picture was taking minutes not 15-20 seconds.

On Friday I discovered that short bursts of video on a medium resolution device such as a mobile phone could be posted via 3G to YouTube.

Each line is a new tweet…

#F1 Jenson filming day. Sat after Jerez. Jenson screams out of the garage…
