Experimental 3D Drive & Race Replay for F1 COSMOS

Hi! I’m Kyungwon, a developer and an F1 fan. I started building a browser-based 3D circuit driving game simply because it was something I wanted to play myself. While developing it, I began exploring how the same 3D environment could also support race replays, onboard views, telemetry visualization, and interactive explanations of race events. I’ve deployed an early playable prototype here: https://f1-replay-las-vegas-2025.chjkw.chatgpt.site At the moment, the prototype mainly focuses on interactive driving. The 3D replay functionality is still being developed. I’d like to suggest exploring this as a small experimental or Labs-style feature for F1 COSMOS rather than as an immediate core feature. A first experiment could be: Keep the current interactive driving mode Add a limited 3D replay for one past session or selected laps Support follow, onboard, broadcast, and free-camera views Host and maintain the experiment separately at first Link it from F1 COSMOS only if the team finds it useful Gather feedback before considering deeper integration The project originally began as a circuit driving game, and I would like to keep that interactive mode as part of the experiment. A user could eventually watch a replay and then choose to drive the circuit or try to recreate a particular moment. This is not a commercial proposal, and I’m not requesting immediate access to F1 COSMOS data. I’d simply like to contribute as a fellow fan and openly develop the idea in a direction that could be useful to the F1 COSMOS community. I’m also open to completely different ideas. The F1 COSMOS team understands its users and roadmap better than I do, so I’d especially appreciate feedback on where an interactive 3D experience could provide the most value. Thanks for taking a look!

Design Suggestions from an F1 Fan — Thank You for Creating F1 Cosmos

Hi Conrad, this is a long message. Thank you for your time. I love F1 deeply. I even joined my university's Formula Student team as the first cross-city, cross-campus recruit. So when I found F1 Cosmos — free, professional, no registration — I was thrilled. I admire your skill and passion. Every race weekend, this tool brings me joy. Thank you. Because I love it so much, I noticed a few things that could be even better, and I want to share them with you as a design-loving fan. 1. Two Core Problems I see a systemic color differentiation issue at two levels: Problem A — Teams clash: · Ferrari's red vs Audi/Cadillac's red — nearly identical. · Aston Martin's green vs Mercedes' teal — too close. The gradation isn't wide enough. Your blue-team differentiation (Red Bull, RB, Williams) is excellent. I suggest applying that same logic to the red and green teams. Problem B — Teammates share the exact same "p2" style="margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-width: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; min-height: 22px; caret-; ; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"> · Norris and Piastri: identical papaya orange. · Antonelli and Russell: identical Mercedes teal. When comparing teammates, the identical colors blend together. This affects lap time charts, standings, and all other modules. 2. My Solution: A Two-Tier Color System Priority: Teams distinguishable first → Teammates distinguishable second Tier 1 — Unique team primary colors: · Ferrari: deep red · Audi/Cadillac: silver-gray (avoid red entirely) · Mercedes: teal · Aston Martin: deep British racing green · Red Bull: muted blue · RB: deep navy blue · Williams: bright cyan-blue · Mc
