The much awaited Formula One season was initiated this weekend by the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix. In an attempt to keep fans updated, Formula 1 has now rolled out the official F1 2011 Timing and Track Positioning app. The latest offering is introduced in collaboration with Vodafone to stream in data about every session of the Grand Prix weekend directly on mobile handsets.
The app empowers users to keep a tab on the progress of every driver right from their position and lap times to the sector times and lap count. It is integrated with new push notification service alerts. So when a Grand Prix session is about to begin the app displays session results, essential news, championship standings and much more. This is an optional feature that allows consumers to stay in touch, even when the app is not open on the phone.
The Formula1.com 2011 app also accommodates several other live timing features such as track status indicator, straight-line speeds and text commentary. This app is enriched with a circuit data screen for offering details about current air and track temperatures, rainfall, air pressure and humidity levels, wind speed as well as direction. Owners can not only receive updates on the current race, but also results for every session of the present season. The novel app also provides the season calendar, timetables for every Grand Prix and the current championship standings.
The Formula1.com 2011 app available to registered Formula1.com users can be downloaded from the App Store and Android Market.
