THE COLLECTION · 07 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
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
Parallel lanes that make every shift visible while the lap converges on one horizon.
Gear Tubes
Eight gear orbs draw speed-driven tubes backward through time toward one vanishing point. The active gear swells with RPM.

- 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.

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.
