I don't mind seeing relative GL , it tells you more about the performance at a glance imo


This is the least of their crimes.
I don't think most fans are wanting to be subtracting 4 digit numbers from another. No, it isn't impossible math but is more time consuming. Also how many people know off the top of their head it's 5,610 feet in a mile and a sixteenth race (assuming zero runup)? Or 5,940 in a mile and an eighth? Too many big numbers to remember.

How does relative GL tell one more about the performance? Better off just watching the replay.
