I built GridWeek because I was tired of Googling "what time is the race today" every weekend. It's the MotoGP companion I always wanted, and now it covers Moto2 and Moto3 too. Everything for the race weekend in one app: schedules in your local time, countdowns, live timing, weather at the track, results, standings, and a heads-up before every session so you never miss lights out. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS A reminder 30 minutes before every session: Practice, Qualifying, Sprint and Race. If the schedule changes, you'll know right away. No more missing the start because you lost track of time. LIVE TIMING (PRO) Follow each session lap by lap. Positions, gaps and lap times update in real time for MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. Watch the order shuffle as it happens. MOTO2 & MOTO3 (PRO) The support classes sit right next to MotoGP: standings, teams, riders and full weekend schedules. Switch them on if you want them. If you don't, the app stays MotoGP-only and clean. THE WEEKEND AT A GLANCE The whole schedule (Practice, Qualifying, Sprint, Race) converted to your local time. That's the part I use most. TRACK WEATHER Temperature, rain chance, wind and an hourly forecast for the circuit itself. You'll know if it's heading for a wet one. RESULTS Practice, Qualifying and Sprint results with podiums, times and positions. COUNTDOWN & WIDGETS Put a countdown on your Home Screen and Lock Screen and see the next session at a glance, without opening the app. CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS Rider and team standings kept up to date, with points, positions and season stats. HEAD-TO-HEAD Put any two riders side by side and compare results, points and how their season is going. MY RIDER Pick your favourite and keep an eye on their season, position changes and form. CALENDAR SYNC Drop sessions straight into your iOS Calendar with reminders. NEWS Save articles for later and keep up with the latest MotoGP news, transfers and race reports. GRIDWEEK PRO The full thing: live timing for every class, Moto2 and Moto3, detailed weather with radar, all the widgets, calendar sync, head-to-head, race recaps, breaking news, bookmarks, and no ads. First 7 days are free. Made by a fan, for fans. If something's missing or broken, tell me and I'll fix it.

Never miss a race again. FlagDrop is the motorsports schedule app for fans who are tired of missing the green flag because the race was at 4 AM their time, the broadcast switched networks, the schedule moved at the last minute, or it's buried across five different apps. Every Formula 1, NASCAR (Cup, O'Reilly, and Craftsman), IndyCar, IMSA, and ARCA Menards race, practice, and qualifying in one app, always in your local time zone. A big countdown to the next green flag, a red takeover the moment a race goes live, where to watch and where to stream every session, and reminders for exactly the sessions you care about. The countdown follows you from the app to your Home Screen to your Lock Screen. Built by a race fan, for race fans. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Now on iPhone and iPad. WHAT YOU GET - Race Day Live Activities. An hour before green flag, a countdown card appears right on your Lock Screen, with the app closed. It ticks down to the start, flips to LIVE the moment the race goes green, and shows the checkered flag when it ends. Dynamic Island included. Races of the series you follow, automatically. Keep Background App Refresh on and the card takes care of itself. - A live takeover on race day. When a race goes green, the app turns red: race time, where to watch, and what's on after this. Two races at once? A +1 LIVE chip switches between them. - Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. A live countdown to the next session that ticks in real time and flips to LIVE the moment the green flag drops, with the TV channel and the rest of the weekend at a glance. New widgets default to My Series and automatically match the series you follow, or set any widget to a single series and run as many as you want. - Reminders that show up on time, every time. Toggle notifications for any session: practice, qualifying, sprint, or the race. Set your lead time to live, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day before, and stack up to two per session. Alerts are delivered from our servers, so they arrive even if you haven't opened the app in weeks. The race won't sneak up on you again. - Share any race in one tap. Send the race as an image card with the series, race name, start time in your time zone, and where to watch, straight to the group chat. Never type out "it's Friday at 6:30 on FS1" again. - Your schedule, your rules. Display and notifications are separate controls: hide the sessions you don't care about from your schedule without touching your alerts, or the other way around. The eye controls what you see, the bell controls what you hear. - Your time zone, automatically. Every race converted to your local time the moment you open the app. No UTC math. No "wait, is that eastern or central?" confusion. - Every series, one app. F1, NASCAR Cup, O'Reilly, and Craftsman, IndyCar, IMSA, and ARCA Menards. Practice, qualifying, sprint, and race sessions in a single schedule, grouped by race weekend and track. - Watch on and Stream on. Every session shows the TV channel and the streaming service separately: FOX, NBC, FS1, The CW, Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV, and more. Know where to tune in before you sit down. - Track maps. See the circuit layout for each event, right on the race screen. - Now on iPad. A native layout built for the bigger screen, portrait and landscape. - Feels right. Smooth motion, haptics on every toggle, swipe from the left edge to go back, and Reduce Motion respected. COMING SOON: MotoGP and WEC are on the roadmap. Updates ship all season. Free for the core experience. No accounts required. No ads, ever.
