Hey, isn't Java FUN, guys?
No, it is not.
There needs to be a way for managers to adjust push levels in the most basic Mobile Timing tracker. For people like me who could not connect to a race because of a Java update, we are totally screwed in races. Bad enough for free players, but for those of us who subscribe and can't get to a Java-enabled machine in time for a race, it's a huge waste of money to watch our teams either a) tool around at the back on low push or b) (and worse) watch our cars fry their tires because we can't get in to change the push level we set up in pre-race prep.
It'd be better for everyone if we didn't even have to deal with Java, but since this is the chosen poison you need to figure out how to work around it in certain cases.
