Thanks for the submission, and for the upfront disclosure — appreciated. I checked the links (all resolve) and the app is clearly a real, maintained product, so this clears the quality bar in Contributing. A few changes before I merge, mostly about staying consistent with the rest of the list. 1. Consolidate into fewer entries Four entries for one product is more surface area than any other project in this list gets. The convention here is to fold related links into a single line — see the - [Formula Dream](https://www.formuladream.app/) - F1 race-weekend companion for iOS and Android. Live timing and telemetry, standings, results, team radio, fantasy leagues, and an aggregated motorsport news feed. Browser tools: [gap visualizer](https://www.formuladream.app/f1-interactive/tools/f1-gap-visualizer), [track domination](https://www.formuladream.app/f1-interactive/tools/track-domination), [2026 car showroom](https://www.formuladream.app/f1-interactive/tools/showroom).If you'd rather have the two analysis tools listed on their own under Dashboards and Analytics, that works too — but then the app entry shouldn't duplicate them. 2. F1 Showroom is in the wrong section A 3D car viewer isn't a dashboard or an analytics platform. It belongs under Tools and Apps, or folded into the main entry above. 3. Description style Entries here are plain feature descriptions, no marketing voice. Two specifics:
Suggested rewrites if you keep them separate: - [F1 Gap Visualizer](...) - Converts qualifying gaps from seconds into track distance using each car's speed across the line, then draws the field to scale.
- [Track Domination](...) - Colors each minisector of a 3D circuit by the fastest driver through it, and stitches them into a theoretical best lap.4. One question Where does the telemetry come from? The tool pages say "official Formula 1 telemetry" — a line on the actual source would help, since data provenance is what the rest of this list is curated on. Happy to merge once the entries are consolidated and the descriptions are neutralized. |
…and Apps, neutralize descriptions, US spelling

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to go through the submission so thoroughly. I really appreciate the detailed feedback and the suggested wording. The examples from the existing list were especially helpful in understanding how you prefer entries to be structured. I've gone with the second option and pushed the changes. The two analysis tools are now listed separately under Dashboards and Analytics using the suggested descriptions, with the single-session examples removed and US spelling throughout. The Showroom has been moved into the Formula Dream entry under Tools and Apps, so the entries no longer duplicate each other. One clarification on the radio, since there are actually two separate things here: the app plays driver radio live during a session, while the Team Radio Archive is a separate web-based archive of around 39,000 transcribed messages going back to 2018, each with the original audio. That's why I've kept the archive as a browser tool rather than treating it as an app feature. On the telemetry source, it comes from our fork of the open-source OpenF1 API. I'll also make that attribution explicit on the relevant tool pages. Thanks again for the careful review and for helping us get the entry into the right shape. Bhavin |

Hey @subinium, I hope you are doing well. Please let me know if you need me to change anything or provide additional details. Thank you. |

Thanks for the update. The revised separation between the app and the two analysis tools works, and I was able to load the Gap Visualizer and Track Domination with recent session data. There is one remaining wording correction in the Gap Visualizer entry ( Your current Gap Visualizer documentation, under "How the numbers are worked out, honestly", describes multiplying each gap by a single reference car's finish-line speed. The FAQ also explains that the resulting distance is an illustration rather than a reconstruction of the cars' actual positions. Please align the entry with that explanation: - [F1 Gap Visualizer](https://www.formuladream.app/f1-interactive/tools/f1-gap-visualizer) - Visualizes qualifying time gaps as approximate distances using the reference car's speed at the finish line.If the implementation has changed and the documentation is now o 8000 ut of date, please clarify which description is correct. The current three-entry arrangement is fine; no further consolidation is needed. |

I rechecked the current submission and public documentation on 7 November. This is still awaiting changes.
The current three-entry structure is acceptable, and recent session data was available. I have not established undisclosed collection or a security exploit; the blocker is the inaccurate/inapplicable documentation. Please reply with the corrected wording and privacy links before this is reconsidered. |
Two separate things here, so I have put them in two different sections.
An F1 race-weekend companion app for iOS and Android. Live timing and telemetry, standings, results, team radio, fantasy leagues, and a news feed aggregating 30+ motorsport sources.
These are standalone browser tools, not part of the app.
F1 Gap Visualizer. Gaps get reported in seconds, which nobody can actually picture. This converts the gap into distance using each car's speed across the line, then draws the field to scale at that real spacing. At Silverstone qualifying, Antonelli took pole with a 1:28.111, Leclerc was 0.175s back which is 14.7 metres of track, and Norris in P6 was 64 metres back.

Track Domination. Splits the lap into minisectors on a 3D circuit and colours each one by whoever was fastest through it, so you can see who owned each part of the track rather than just who set the best overall lap. It stitches the quickest minisectors into a theoretical best lap, which at Silverstone came out at 1:26.557, about 1.5 seconds under the real pole time. Nobody drove that lap.
