Show Notes
New AI technology is being used to help tennis fans better enjoy Wimbledon this year. The All England Tennis Club have teamed up with IBM to collect and combine data on player and ball movements using tech like Hawkeye. The stats will be used to give predictions on who might win or lose a match.
A fan hyper-car has broken the Goodwood Hill record with a time of 39.08 seconds. The McMurty Spéirling car beat the record set in 1999 by racing driver Nick Heidfeld in an F1 car.
