RaceControl VS f1

If you're using older 3rdparty clients like Race Control or f1viewer, then the stream has double the bitrate than with /r/F1MultiViewer or the official app (both show the video bitrate through debug menu). You can also easily verify this for archived races by downloading the stream segments with your preferred browser and decrypting the non widevine protected video with the key from the m8u3 file.

My dude change the name RC has already been an F1 program https://github.com/robvdpol/RaceControl

Iirc RaceControl allows you to download older races where DRM has been removed.

Or watch on a PC. Some helpful redditor made and shared RaceControl, it's great if you have a large screen or multiple screens. I usually have the broadcast running on my primary screen and telemetry+some driver cams on secondary. It can also sync streams (or at least tries its best).

makes me miss RaceControl, i would fit 6 feeds on my 21:9 screen and perfectly sync them live and for replays too.

Race Control is one of the previously popular 3rdparty clients for f1tv, but like f1viewer, they rely on external players that don't support streaming with widevine DRM.

This ia one of the reasons many people on /r/F1TV suggest /r/F1MultiViewer and previously other 3rdparty viewers like Race Control and F1Viewer, before they introduced DRM to the live streams this year in April.

At some races I feel like things might get interesting I simply use F1 Race Control anyway with F1 TV and just put up the world feed with a bunch of other feeds right next to it. Couple of onboards for example to keep track of some fighting going on.

https://f1calendar.com - download/link the calendar to your device, it also converts them to your local time

It's at 12:00, track time, so less than 20 minutes from right now. You can find all the times in the F1 Calendar website, it's what I'm using to keep up to date, also for feeder series like F2 and F3 if you're into that.

Under liberty and especially with the sprints, some sessions start on the hour, some 30 minutes past. There are sometimes 2 hour gap between sessions. Sometimes 2:30hr gaps. I’ve never realised on F1 calendar so much as I have in these last few years.

Mine worked okay https://f1calendar.com/

BTW, I've found https://f1calendar.com/ invaluable for helping me with my inability to convert time zones correctly.

I've used https://f1calendar.com/ for years and never had a problem.
