Help

General information: the Live Timing System requires Java version 1.3.1
or greater. Mac users should use OS X with Safari, Firefox or Netscape
browsers.

If you are having trouble viewing the Live Timing System you may find
the following information useful:

Q: I can't see the Live Timing System on the page. I just get an empty
outlined box.

A: The Live Timing System is a Java Applet. You will need to have a Java
Runtime Environment installed for your browser to display the page
correctly. The Java button below will take you to the Sun Java web site
where you can install a Java Runtime Environment by clicking on the "Get
it now" link.

<http://www.java.com/>

Q: I can see the timing information but it only updates every 30
seconds. I thought it was meant to be live?

A: The Live Timing System has two methods of update. When the page is
initially loaded the Java Applet tries to connect to the formula1.com
streaming server on network port 4321 for live updates. Some corporate
networks or firewalls will block connections to this port. If this is
the case and the Applet cannot connect to the live streaming server, so
it will connect using the web and refreshes every 30 seconds instead.
You can determine how the Applet is connected by looking at the small
coloured connection indicator at the bottom left of the Live Timing
System screen (as shown below).

If it is yellow you are connected to the live timing streaming server
and every time it receives data it will flash green. If it is red it
could not connect to the live timing streaming server and will update
over the web every 30 seconds, and again flash green when it receives
data. If it is grey the session is over and you have been disconnected
and you should press Refresh on your browser before the next session
begins. If the indicator shows that you cannot connect to the live
timing streaming server you should contact your System Administrator and
ask them to open TCP port 4321 for you.


If you are still having trouble you may wish to email our technical
support team at the following address:
livetiming (AT) formula1 (DOT) com <mailto:livetiming (AT) formula1 (DOT) com>

Lap Chart Info

Back to live timing <#>




Clicking on the Lap Chart tab on the left hand side of the screen allows
you to select the Lap Chart display. To return to the Live Timing Screen
click on the Live tab. The Lap Chart tab only appears during a race
session.

The screen shows a list of drivers in grid order and a line extends from
each driver across the screen as the race progresses. The line will bend
up and down the screen depending on the driver's position in the race.
The line at the top of the screen indicates that driver is in the lead.

The lap numbers are displayed across the top and the highlighted band
shows which drivers are currently in points positions. By hovering the
mouse over a driver's name, the line for that driver is highlighted to
assist in following the line across the page. If a driver stops and
pulls out of the race, the line for that driver stops on that lap.

Weather/Speed Info

Back to live timing <#>




Clicking on the Weather & Speed tab on the left hand side of the screen
allows you to select the Weather & Speed display. To return to the Live
Timing Screen click on the Live tab. The Weather & Speed tab appears
during all sessions.

Figures for six sets of weather data are displayed - track temperature,
air temperature, wet / dry (indicates whether it is raining), wind
speed, humidity and (air) pressure. In addition the circuit map and
arrow indicate wind direction. The graph shows how conditions have
changed over the course of the session. It will rotate between the
various sets of data, unless you click on a specific item.

In addition, the screen shows the six best straight-line speeds achieved
in that session at four different, predetermined points on the circuit.
Note, they are not necessarily the outright fastest speeds achieved -
these may be reached at other points on the circuit.

N.B. If the interval the last time they crossed the finish line is less
than the previous time then it will be shown in white (i.e. the driver
is gaining on the one in front). If the interval the last time they
crossed the finish line is equal to or greater than the previous time
then it will be shown in yellow (i.e. the driver is either static or
losing ground to the one in front).
N.B. The Gap & Interval column for the leading driver always shows the
number of laps completed, rather than the Gap and Interval information
for that driver.

by the leader then the position number does not appear.

Help

Back to live timing <#>




General information: the Live Timing System requires Java version 1.3.1
or greater. Mac users should use OS X with Safari, Firefox or Netscape
browsers.

If you are having trouble viewing the Live Timing System you may find
the following information useful:

Q: I can't see the Live Timing System on the page. I just get an empty
outlined box.

A: The Live Timing System is a Java Applet. You will need to have a Java
Runtime Environment installed for your browser to display the page
correctly. The Java button below will take you to the Sun Java web site
where you can install a Java Runtime Environment by clicking on the "Get
it now" link.

<http://www.java.com/>

Q: I can see the timing information but it only updates every 30
seconds. I thought it was meant to be live?

A: The Live Timing System has two methods of update. When the page is
initially loaded the Java Applet tries to connect to the formula1.com
streaming server on network port 4321 for live updates. Some corporate
networks or firewalls will block connections to this port. If this is
the case and the Applet cannot connect to the live streaming server, so
it will connect using the web and refreshes every 30 seconds instead.
You can determine how the Applet is connected by looking at the small
coloured connection indicator at the bottom left of the Live Timing
System screen (as shown below).

If it is yellow you are connected to the live timing streaming server
and every time it receives data it will flash green. If it is red it
could not connect to the live timing streaming server and will update
over the web every 30 seconds, and again flash green when it receives
data. If it is grey the session is over and you have been disconnected
and you should press Refresh on your browser before the next session
begins. If the indicator shows that you cannot connect to the live
timing streaming server you should contact your System Administrator and
ask them to open TCP port 4321 for you.


If you are still having trouble you may wish to email our technical
support team at the following address:
livetiming (AT) formula1 (DOT) com <mailto:livetiming (AT) formula1 (DOT) com>
