THE COLLECTION · 11 STUDIES
Choose how the lap takes shape.
Each visualizer uses the same telemetry language, then gives time, inputs and motion a different physical form.
Pole-lap histories
Continuous traces that turn a complete qualifying lap into depth, rhythm and form.
Tube / Rings
RPM and braking become concentric circle histories on a shared speed path. Height is speed; depth is elapsed lap time.
- RPM · radius
- Brake · core
- Speed · height
- Time · depth
Throttle / Light Trail
Throttle draws the persistent circle stack. RPM becomes a flat, uniformly thick clockwise light disk on its live circumference while braking stays centered inside.
- Throttle · radius
- RPM · trail
- Brake · center
Liquid Time
The next 13 seconds of telemetry project into depth. RPM swells the liquid while speed and throttle bend its path.
- Future · 13 seconds
- RPM · swell
- Throttle · flow
Twin Ribbon
Two mirrored latex-bright ribbons run parallel to the ground toward one horizon. Throttle sets width, speed sets height, RPM shifts yellow to red, and past samples recede through cubic time.
- Throttle · width
- Speed · height
- RPM · yellow → red
- Time · cubic depth
- Mirror · twin ribbons
Soft-body studies
Living telemetry objects that breathe, stretch and emit history with every input.
Telemetry Orb
RPM controls size and glow; speed lifts; throttle moves the surface; braking squashes; gear shifts send rings outward or inward.
- RPM · breath
- Brake · squash
- Gear · pulse
Orb × Rings
A live orb leads persistent telemetry rings through three-dimensional lap time, joining the present sample to its history.
- RPM · form
- Brake · inner ring
- Time · trail
Eight-gear studies
Gear-driven forms that make every shift visible through lanes, rings or multiplying symmetry.
Gear Tubes
Eight gear orbs draw speed-driven tubes backward through time toward one vanishing point. The active gear swells with RPM.
- 8 · lanes
- RPM · active orb
- Speed · lift
Gear Rings
Eight rings leave speed-driven histories toward one horizon. Active-gear radius follows RPM; braking adds a red inner ring.
- 8 · rings
- RPM · active radius
- Brake · inner ring
Gear Number
The live gear becomes a translucent meter: throttle and RPM overlap inside the numeral while speed lifts it and time leaves a receding Solitaire-style trail.
- Gear · numeral
- Throttle + RPM · fill
- Speed · height
- Brake · red glow
Gear Fractal
The gearbox sets exact one-to-eight-fold symmetry. RPM breathes the recursive field while throttle twists it and braking collapses it into red.
- Gear · factors
- Throttle · warp
- Brake · contraction
Gear Revolver
The live RPM-driven revolver stays anchored in front while its complete spinning multi-circle history recedes toward the horizon. Shifts morph and vibrate every preserved formation; the view slider rotates the scene.
- Gear · count
- RPM · spin
- Speed · height
- Time · receding history
LIVE LAB · OPENF1 REAL-TIME
Every car. Telemetry alive.
Follow selected cars in Tube, Orb or Both views. Switch between a single full-width car and a multi-car grid when a live session is available.
