If you are a big fan of F1 racing the official timing app for Android users is now on the Android Market for download. The app is cool and looks like something that fans won’t want to miss. This is the only official F1 2011 live timing and tracking app and it has over 130 hours of live race coverage inside.
The user will be able to access all live timing and positioning details for the F1 sessions over a race weekend including qualifying, practice and the final race. The app provides pause and replay options so you can see the action over if you want.
The developer of the app is Softpauer and it says the information is streamed directly from the track to the phone as it happens. Other features include text commentary, map view, and 3D track navigation. The app works on WiFi and via data connections when not near a hotspot.
UPDATE: Our homie Jason has just informed us of an alternate app, one that appears to be MORE official than official, and it’s free, and it’s awesome. Check that one out [over here].
Erm… that’s not the official app! The official app’s Free.
umm i only see it for like $32 .. which is insanity.
total insanity. total.
The official app is this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.formula1.twothousandelevenapplication

No problem. I suspect the expensive one is fibbing about how official it is, although they do look to have some great data. See here for “Official, Official” announcement http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2011/3/11838.html 🙂
