Iave just 'inherited' my wife's old Nokia 920 smartphone. I am going to put it on pay-as-you-go and only use it at Le Mans for the free part (i.e. the timing and position screen) of the WEC free site... (WEC app doesn't work on the windows phones) But now I wonder how much data it uses for the timing screen. It is a Tesco phone and I noticed that this year they charged the same for mobile use in France as in the UK.
Help please

Ultimately there isn't that much data behind the data...
You could potentially check CotA this weekend to try and gauge how much data is being used for a smaller selection of cars...
It may well be that you could choose not to display pictures, etc.. from the browser and hence reduce the data being retrieved.
Of course each time you refresh the timing data it will pull the data down again. I can try and check for you, but it's literally kilobytes.
Thomas Baekdal used to display the information in a less data intensive way but I think he has now given up on this. This was mostly due to the processing load and of course the App and Website never existed. http://thomasbaekdal.com/lemans/
I'm tempted to try and put a web service together, but it would need a little more investigation, thought and work. Thomas seems to indicate that the server considerations rose and rose..
