Fun With Testing

Now for most, testing is probably the most boring thing you can do, as they just want to get on play. F1 race engineers, particularly the Renault team it would seem, are a little different. They like to play while they're testing. When watching the following clip, ensure you have the sound turned up and watch right towards the end.

For those not familiar with the way F1 cars are tested these days, the telemetry, tuning and calibration controls are all run through test programs from a laptop. I'd defy anyone to be able to do that manually :)

I wonder if the tests are in TAP? Or written in Perl?
