SETUP / 5 MINUTES

Connect your game.

The bridge runs on a Windows PC. Your F1 game sends telemetry to it from the same PC, PlayStation or Xbox, and the bridge publishes your timing page.

Using a different title or platform? Check game and platform compatibility.

Console players need both a PlayStation or Xbox and a Windows PC. The PC must stay on with Phaseo Live Timing Bridge running while you play. The bridge cannot run directly on the console.

SAME MACHINE

I play on PC →

Use 127.0.0.1. No home-network setup required.

PLAYSTATION / XBOX + PC

Console + Windows PC →

The PC receives telemetry over your home network and runs the bridge.

01

Start the Windows bridge

  1. Open your Phaseo Live Timing dashboard and copy the bridge token shown after registration.
  2. Run Phaseo Live Timing Bridge on the Windows PC that will receive telemetry.
  3. Paste the token when prompted. The bridge stores it for future sessions.
  4. Leave the bridge running while you play. It listens on UDP port 20777.
The bridge and timing page can run before the game. They go live automatically when telemetry arrives.

02B

Configure PlayStation or Xbox

This setup requires a console and a Windows PC running Phaseo Live Timing Bridge. The console sends telemetry to that PC across your home network. Both devices must be connected to the same router; Ethernet and Wi-Fi can be mixed.

  1. Look in the Phaseo Live Timing Bridge window for UDP IP Address (console). It detects the PC address automatically.
  2. Enter that address in the game's telemetry settings. It will usually begin with 192.168 or 10..
  3. If no address is shown, open Command Prompt, run ipconfig, and use the active Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter's IPv4 Address.

Do not use 127.0.0.1 on console. On a console, that address points back to the console—not your Windows PC.
03

Confirm it is working

  1. Enter an on-track session and leave the garage.
  2. Check the bridge window for Telemetry detected and Relay connected.
  3. Open your live-page link from the dashboard.
  4. Speed, steering, throttle, brake, gear and RPM should react immediately. Timing rows update five times a second.
04

Supported modes

Grand Prix & leagues

FULL

Positions, gaps, flags, penalties, pits, weather, fuel, ERS and race control.

Time Trial

SUPPORTED

Live laps, sectors, inputs, speed, ERS, fuel and tyres. Race-only data is naturally absent.

Practice & qualifying

SUPPORTED

Timing, sectors, tyres, weather and driver telemetry. Position follows the game's session data.

Multiplayer

SUPPORTED

Enable Public telemetry if the game offers the setting so every permitted driver is visible.

05

Understand telemetry formats

The telemetry screen contains several settings that sound similar but control different things. Phaseo Live Timing detects the UDP format automatically; in normal use, leave it on the game's default.

UDP formatData layout

Chooses which year's packet structure the game sends. A legacy format works, but cannot include fields that did not exist in that older format.

Send rateResponsiveness

Controls how frequently the game sends high-frequency telemetry. Use 60 Hz; Phaseo Live Timing reduces it to an efficient 5 Hz timing feed.

Your telemetryVisibility

Public allows permitted data and names to be shared with telemetry tools. Restricted may hide some multiplayer driver information.

Game modeAvailable data

Race, qualifying and Time Trial naturally produce different information. Time Trial has no race order, Safety Car or pit strategy.

F1 2020–22

Legacy timing data

These formats do not send native live gaps. Phaseo Live Timing calculates gaps and intervals when each car crosses the timing line, then keeps those values visible until the next crossing. Some newer race-control events are unavailable.

F1 2023

Native gaps arrive

The game supplies gap-to-leader and interval data directly, allowing Phaseo Live Timing to refresh them throughout the lap. Red-flag and overtake events are also available.

F1 2024–25

Richest race-control output

Native gaps continue, with expanded timing fields and explicit Safety Car and collision events. Phaseo Live Timing still falls back gracefully when a field is unavailable in a particular session.

Recommended: choose the newest/default UDP format offered by your game. Select an older format only when another telemetry tool specifically requires it.
06

If no telemetry appears

Console only

Confirm the destination is the PC's current IPv4 address and both devices are on the same home network. Guest Wi-Fi may block device-to-device traffic.

Windows Firewall

Allow Phaseo Live Timing Bridge on private networks. If needed, create an inbound UDP rule for port 20777.

Another telemetry app

Close other telemetry tools temporarily. Only one application may be able to own UDP port 20777.

Bridge says connected but the page is offline

Check the bridge token and internet connection, then restart the bridge.

Data looks stale

End any synthetic/demo feeder and restart the on-track session.
