Live timing

**wacc** · 15th March 2014, 08:58

I know this has been discussed in FP thread already but it deserves its own thread and I also wanted to say thank you to FOM for downgrading the live timing web application!

I do not want to follow the times on a tiny android device, nor want me to buy a new tablet.

Somebody posted a link to http://www.racematelive.com/ but it doesnt work in my country, anyway do not know if it covers all the future events.

So what to do now?

You made a whole thread just to say this? Living large, are we lol?

**stefa** · 15th March 2014, 09:14

I am with you WACC, and I am clueless about where and how to watch live timing ?(with sector times) instead of colorful dots!

Better to post it here than polute a race thread. I also hoped someone can help with the racematelive to get it working. I am not alone with this problam, am I?
There are far less informative threads, so what is the problem with this one?

It's a relevant concern and it keeps the issue out of the racing threads.

Not gonna pay.
Before I just had my lap top on my coffee table and it was easy to follow race from TV and lap times from 17inch LT screen.
Should I now watch the race with telephone on my hand? How can I drink my race beer and eat my race pizza with telephone on my hand!!?
Those greedy made my sundays too difficult!

The link you posted works with a proxy from Asia it's a Fox Asia website. I used Hola Unlocker, but the times are at least half a minute behind the events, even more.

Thanks, I have added that Hola add on and will try that tomorrow. Hope it will not do more bad than good.
Still looking for other options.

Thanks uncle Bernie!

**Kiwi Nick** · 15th March 2014, 15:55

Yes, as usual, the greedy little rat...er, Sir Bernard, has gone for a quick buck. It used to be nice to be able to watch the trends of a race by watching and studying the lap and sector times. Now I have been lowered to the same level of intelligence as Steve Maddshitt.

**Alesi1** · 16th March 2014, 03:59

Bernie is a money hungry little rat. I was going crazy yesterday, didn't know that this had happened to live timining, till hornet informed me (thanks again to hornet). The live timing is one of the things I enjoy most so even though on principle I shouldn't pay I think I won't be able to resist. We should fire off an email to the little gremlin

**anotherfinemess** · 16th March 2014, 05:15

Bernie is a greedy pig

**tpe** · 16th March 2014, 06:24

OK, let's suppose that you have to use your mobile phone for that. Which (free) app show sector times? The problem is that sector times are available to premium customers only. So, all free apps are using the same stupid dots!

**The Architect** · 16th March 2014, 08:00

Given how incomprehensible this race already is, it's ridiculous that this isn't free. I can't say the TV presentation is particularly compensating either.

**wacc** · 16th March 2014, 10:20

http://www.racematelive.com/ apart from showing the data a bit late also stopped working for half of the race. Beside that it was good.

Has some one here tried to run the oficial F1 android app on the bluestacks emulator?

**tpe** · 16th March 2014, 11:58

So far, as I see it, you can see sector times only in premium versions. Sorry, but it's a lot of money for me. :(

You may like to watch using FILT. It's pretty comprehensive with all the menus to follow your driver & watch head to head (FA & e.g. JB / NR etc.) I've used it often before & it works great, during the race today as well. It helps with lap times, positions, weather,written commentary. For 2014 they behaving as badly as renaults engine did in testing as some drivers are driving no car

(Kimis' car must have had no registration plates fitted

) and Fernando was driving a Force India

(the jokes on them though for being silly). But as any Tifosi knows what car Fernando & Kimi drives what is a small glitch, if the program can at least give you current track positions, especially as to e.g. is Kimi leaving the pit in time before red bulls' puppies come chasing up the finish straight. A vocal commentary or tv feed are the only two things missing from it.
I've often had to rely on it for times when I can't make a televised quali session.
If you don't like it or it irritates you that Kimi is on foot instead of in a Ferrari and you can't wait for them to rectify it, don't download it. Different strokes ...

You need to download new version 3.0.0 for 2014 season

**Schumiklub** · 16th March 2014, 20:02

What's FILT? :D

download it and take a look. It used to be better until F1 administration decided not to show sector times for 2014. But it is way, graphicaly, better than one offical on formula1.com

**younger06** · 16th March 2014, 23:08

I think the Sky website supplies a full interactive service during the race with (proper) live timing.

**Kyss4k** · 17th March 2014, 00:08

F1LT is showing dots instead of sector times as well.

**sweeper1101** · 17th March 2014, 00:57

Yep, as if the colors where enough for techy fans....what a let down.
Official App with region availability....to whom.?!

Unfortunately yes, coz it uses official live timing....

**Kiwi Nick** · 17th March 2014, 14:57

I can't even get the app because, as the site says, none of my devices are compatible. As I see it the app only works with iPhone, iPad or Android. That means my PC and Blackberry (a sponsor of Mercedes) are cut out, and I only have the new stripped down version.

BTW, the reviews at the Android site are awful.

livetiming@formula1.com may be able to help you if you are having a problem

It is also available on Android (OS 4 and above). If you have tried to download the app on the Google Play store and it tells you that your device is incompatible but based on the information above, you think it should be compatible, you may be in a geo-restricted zone. Please see below.
