PlanB is a companion for the motorsport season: the calendar, the results, the standings and a full breakdown of every race, in one app that stays out of your way.
RACE WEEKENDS, IN YOUR TIME ZONE
The season calendar shows every round with all its sessions — practice, qualifying, sprint and the race — converted to your local time. The current weekend moves to the top and stays there until the race is over, so you never have to hunt for it.
TALK THROUGH THE RACE
Race chat opens 30 minutes before the first session and stays open until 30 minutes after the chequered flag. One room per event, everyone in it watching the same thing you are. Reply, mention someone and they get a push, react with any of twelve reactions or just double-tap a message. Read without an account; sign in with Apple or Google when you want to post.
PICK THE PODIUM
Every race week, call who finishes first, second and third. Picks close when qualifying starts and are scored after the race: 3 points for a driver in the right place, 1 for a podium driver in the wrong one, 2 more for the exact podium. See which drivers the paddock put on each step, climb the season table, and if you make the top ten, your place shows next to your name in race chat.
LIVE, WHILE THE SESSION RUNS
A track status strip shows green, yellow, safety car, VSC or red flag the moment it changes, with the lap count. Open it for live race control and live standings with gaps, tyres and pit stops. Qualifying, the sprint and the race appear on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island by themselves, five minutes before the start, and you can get a push when the safety car comes out or the red flag goes up.
SEND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
A weekend, a result, the standings, a race dashboard or your podium call goes out as a card with a link to that exact screen.
THE RACE, TAKEN APART
Every finished race gets a dashboard: the classification with gaps and grid changes, position changes plotted lap by lap, lap times you can compare driver against driver, tyre strategy with every stint and pit stop, safety car and virtual safety car periods, the most overtakes, weather through the session, and the full race control log. Tap a driver for every lap split into sectors, with deleted laps struck through and the reason, or put two drivers head to head: the gap lap by lap, best sectors and the ideal lap.
STANDINGS AND COMPARISONS
Driver and constructor standings for the current season and past ones. Put two drivers side by side and see how their seasons actually differ.
REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE ON TIME
Get a notification before each session of the weekend, and choose exactly which ones you want. Turn reminders and news off entirely if you would rather not hear from the app at all.
ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN, HOME SCREEN AND WRIST
A countdown to the next Grand Prix on the Lock Screen and the Apple Watch face. On the Home Screen, the whole weekend day by day with a countdown to the next session, and the season as dots in the colours of the winning teams. On Apple Watch, three pages under the Digital Crown: the next session, the whole weekend and the top of both championships.
MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR PHONE
Light and dark themes that follow the system. Pick your team's colour as the app accent. Haptics you can switch off. No account needed for anything except posting in chat, and you can delete that account from inside the app whenever you want.
