How do I run the F1Laps Telemetry App in debug mode?

Note: This guide applies to the legacy Windows desktop app. The current F1Laps Telemetry App is available from the Microsoft Store and does not require debug mode. See the Windows setup guide for the current app.

If you're experiencing crashes or technical issues with the legacy Windows telemetry app, you can run a debug version that displays additional logging information.

Download Debug Version

Download the console version of the F1Laps Telemetry App:

How It Works

When you run the debug version:

1. Extract the ZIP file
2. Run F1Laps-console.exe as Administrator
3. An additional Command Prompt window will appear (black window with white text)
4. This console displays additional logging information as the app runs

When to Use Debug Mode

Use the debug version when:

• You need to report a technical issue to support
