FAQ
GOOD TO KNOW
Do I need a subscription?
No. There is no subscription and no monthly fee. Live timing, the full-screen alerts and the between-race screens are all included, and new features arrive with free automatic updates.
What does it show during a race?
The live top 5 in team colours with the gap to the leader, the lap counter, the track status (SC, VSC or RED) and an arrow for anyone moving up. Overtakes, battles, flags and the Safety Car take over the full screen. Practice and qualifying show the best laps through Q1, Q2 and Q3.
How live is it?
Positions and gaps refresh every 4 seconds during every session.
I watch on a stream. Will it spoil overtakes?
[TBD - streams usually run some seconds behind live timing. Confirm how far ahead the display can be and whether the app has a delay setting.]
How big is it?
32.6 x 16.6 x 3.7 cm and 1.25 kg. The full-colour LED is readable across the room, and it stands on the included desk stand.
Which racing series does it cover?
[TBD - list the series covered at launch.]
What does it show in the off-season?
It counts down to the new season and keeps rotating through the screens you pick in the app: standings, track facts and a racing history moment every day.
Does it work with my WiFi?
It needs a 2.4 GHz WiFi network (802.11 b/g/n). Most home routers broadcast 2.4 GHz next to 5 GHz, so you can usually pick your normal network during setup.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the free app, scan the code on the display and pick your WiFi. No account, no sign-up.
Does my phone need to stay nearby?
No. Once it is set up, the display runs on its own over WiFi - your phone can stay in your pocket. You only need the app to change screens or settings, and to get session reminders.
Which plug do I get?
The one for your country. Pick US, EU, UK or AU / NZ above and the matching power adapter is in the box.
What if I do not like it?
