@xAbhishek I wouldn’t be so harsh as to call it unreadable, but a few notches higher would be a lot more comfortable on the iPhone screen.
@xAbhishek Good work! Why the small font-size at phone widths though? Text should be readable without zooming, don’t you think? @lut4rp

@VerbalKungFu So 6k (provided you’re getting a grandstand seat) might be worth it, but hey, this is India and you can never tell. @souvikdg
@VerbalKungFu But the 2 races I attended at Melbourne were more like carnivals with activities happening from 8am till late night. @souvikdg
@VerbalKungFu The race itself is hard to follow unless you’re listening to the commentary and/or facing one of the giant screens. @souvikdg
