Ferrari Telemetry is an app developed exclusively for Ferrari clients that have installed the optional Ferrari Telemetry system on their car. Once they have downloaded the sessions recorded by the telemetry CPU using Wi-Fi, they can then use the FERRARI TELEMETRY APP to do an in-depth performance analysis: - Compare hot laps – including those from different sessions; - Analyse performance at any point on the track using an array of telemetry data also adopted by the Racing Team’s track engineers (Speed, Braking, Gear-shifts, Longitudinal Acceleration, Lateral Acceleration and many more besides); - Combining the telemetry data with video data recorded by the optional Track Camera Kit to evaluate trajectories, braking points and driving technique. Also available is a CO-PILOT mode which involves the passenger in the driving experience through real-time monitoring of lapping performance. To activate the app, you will need to enter the authentication code in the Ferrari Telemetry system menu on the Ferrari in-car multimedia display.

Grid Pulse is an independent companion for fans of racing. It pulls together everything you want during a race weekend — and everything you want to look back on between them — into a single, focused app. — RACE WEEKEND, EVERY SESSION — Open any event and pull up the full weekend at a glance • Free Practice schedules • Qualifying results • Sprint Qualifying and Sprint race results • Race classifications, including status (finished, lapped, retired, DNF) • A standings snapshot taken right after the chequered flag, so you can revisit how the championship looked at any point in the season — THE GRID PULSE FEED — The race weekend conversation, powered by Bluesky. Read what fans and the paddock are saying as it happens. Link a Bluesky account — optional, and only if you want to post, reply, like and repost without leaving the app. Sign-in happens on Bluesky's own page, so Grid Pulse never sees your password. These posts are public content from the Bluesky network, written by other people rather than by Grid Pulse. There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour, so the feed ships with moderation built in: • Report, hide, mute or block from a menu on every post and comment • Reporting an account silences it in Grid Pulse straight away • Posts labelled adult or graphic are filtered out automatically • Blocked and muted accounts stay hidden, even offline • A moderation list in your profile shows everyone you've blocked or muted, with one tap to undo — DRIVERS & CONSTRUCTORS — Browse driver and constructor cards for the current season, with quick access to championship positions and points. — THE PASSPORT — Grid Pulse's passport is a personal scrapbook of your fan history. Stamp the Grand Prix you've watched or attended in person and they appear, organised by season, as a record of where your fandom has been. Add notes and let the in-app AI summary help recap the weekend in your own collection. — GRAND PRIX MAP — See every race weekend pinned on a world map, so you can plan a trip — or just relive the calendar. — RACE REMINDERS — Set reminders for the sessions you care about, from Free Practice 1 through the race, including Sprint Qualifying and Sprint Shootout where applicable. — YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS — Your stamped Grand Prix, pinned circuits, scrapbook photos and profile picture stay on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud. You can delete your account, and the data stored with it, from inside the app at any time. — BUILT FOR FANS, BY A FAN — Grid Pulse is independent. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any league, team, driver, or sanctioning body. Open-wheel racing data is provided via the Ergast and Jolpica community APIs; live timing is not included.
