as you know I like formula 1. this post is basically a way to max out on live formula 1 data as it happens.
there are lots of cool things that formula 1 is doing with the internet.
the first is the formula1 live timing – its the same timing screen that the pit wall crews get so you know who is setting the fastest sectors, etc.
there is an iphone / ipad app too which looks amaising, though you can get all the features from the formula 1 website
the next cool thing that i have found is the mclaren live car stats – called ‘race 1.1b’. it gives you an excellent insight into the mclaren cars by streaming live lap data – what gear they are in, how much braking they are applying, how hard they are accelerating (in G) and their current position on the track. it also gives you a log of the mclaren team pit radio comms to the cars.
there is a ferarri pit wall site which is the same idea as the mclaren race 1.1b but it only offers historic lap data, not live lap data =(
there are also lots of twitter accounts from the f1 teams:
check this post for lots of f1 twitter people
they should give you enough to be able to follow anyone you want to follow from F1 =)
