How would you use the km/h function in a race setting, unless (for example) one lap of the circuit was exactly 1km. It seems like it’s really only usable for Vmax runs over a fixed kilometre, or something similar. Of course you could figure out two points that are precisely 1km apart on a specific circuit or rally route, but then you’d only know the average speed of that specific 1km section which wouldn’t necessarily be very helpful.
I guess the purpose of the longer scale is to allow for a greater range of applications. Motor racing on the first rotation, perhaps equestrian/cycling for the middle rotations, and then perhaps running for the last marked rotation.
