About GP Countdown
A fast, focused F1 race-week guide
GP Countdown is built to answer the race-day questions fans actually have: when is the next session, what time is it locally, where is the useful weekend context, and how quickly can I act on it?
Question starters
What should I open first on race day?
Weekend hub
Which rule explains today’s penalty or format?
Rules guide
Where do I scan the strongest fresh F1 headlines?
Live news
Fun fact
Home, weekend, rules, and about now share the same red-on-deep-slate visual system so the app feels like one control room.
App guide
Race-day speed
See the next session immediately, convert times cleanly, and add it to calendar without extra taps.
App guide
Weekend context
Weekend hub, weather, live timeline, AI pulse, and replay tools stay connected instead of split across unrelated pages.

Timezone-safe
Local-time handling is built to avoid hydration mismatch while still staying obvious on mobile.
Project links and sourcing
What the project is built on
GP Countdown is an independent project. Schedules, results, and standings are pulled from public motorsport data sources, while rules coverage stays source-backed and season-specific.
Fan fit
- New fans who want simple local-time answers without reading regulations first.
- Regular viewers who want weekend context, news, standings, and rules in one place.
- Nerd-mode users who still want source links and deeper technical context on demand.
Fan note
Race replay functionality credits Tom Shaw's open-source desktop replay project and runs from the app's replay launcher flow.
Fan note
The app is built to keep core F1 answers fast first: next session, local time, calendar, standings, then deeper context.
