I can explain this better in the long form:
In the scripted themes, the horizontal ticker will never show blank spaces - say if there is 21 drivers in the race and the third page of the paging ticker showed positions 17, 18, 19, and 20, the last page would show 18, 19, 20, and 21. Is there a way to do this in theme editor themes? Obviously it's not natively supported but I'm wondering if there's a way to get it running through a script.
