Community ManagerHey drivers!
We want to hear from you! We are working hard on UDP for future F1® products, and they want to hear from you!
Is there any feature request for future development of the UDP telemetry system you would like to see implemented? Do you have any suggestions or feedback on future products?
Feel free to share your ideas with us!

It would be good to get auto repair too (i.e. Auto, Yes, No)
Hey,
I'm the developer of Pitbox, a real-time telemetry companion app for F1 games that just launched today on the App Store.
Two things that would make a huge difference for third-party developers like me:
1. Native delta to leader right now we calculate this from m_totalDistance which works but it's a workaround. A native delta in the packet would be cleaner and more accurate for everyone. It would also allow apps like mine to correctly reconstruct the delta even when connecting mid-session, which currently isn't possible reliably.
2. Consistent lap numbering currentLapNum starts at 0 on the out lap and only becomes 1 when you cross the start/finish line. But SessionHistoryPacket uses 1-based lap numbers. This mismatch causes real headaches and forces every UDP developer to add special case handling. Just making it consistent across all packets would save a lot of pain.
These two things alone would meaningfully improve every third-party UDP app out there.
Thanks for opening this thread really glad EA is actively listening to the community on this.
