I've run the app for the first time, and the race didnt download?

Can I turn off the tips that popup on each screen?

How accurate are the car positions?
They are accurate to about 200 yards (this varies from track to track). We are working hard to improve this.
Why do the car movements not always appear smooth?
The car positions are provided from fixed positions on the circuit. In between those positions we predict where the cars will be which results in changes of speed. The first two laps are hardest to predict. Large changes in average speed e.g safety car or cars pitting will create a similar effect.
Why do the race positions sometimes not reflect the positions of the cars?
The race positions are updated intermittently, where as the car positions are more accurate.
Why has the Race screen changed to another Circuit?
24 hours before the first practice of the next race weekend the race page will automatically change to the new circuit. If you don't want to watch the race just go to the setup page and choose a historical race.
Do I need an internet connection?
You need a wifi connection to download old sessions, refresh the news and update the info database. During the race a working internet connection is required. However the app will otherwise work offline.
