How to set up F1 telemetry on Xbox Series X
You can capture telemetry from F1 games on Xbox Series X|S, but it requires a separate device running the F1Laps app. Here's how to set it up.
What You Need
- Xbox Series X|S with an F1 game (F1 24, F1 25, etc.)
- A separate device: iPhone, iPad, Windows PC, or Mac
- Both devices connected to the same network (WiFi or wired)
- A free F1Laps account
Why a Separate Device?
Xbox consoles don't allow third-party apps to run alongside games. The F1 game broadcasts telemetry data over your local network, and a separate device captures it.
Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Create Your F1Laps Account
Register for a free account if you don't have one.
Step 2: Download the F1Laps App
Download the app on your capture device:
- iPhone/iPad: Download from App Store
- Windows/Mac: Download from F1Laps
Step 3: Connect to the Same Network
Make sure your Xbox and capture device are on the same network. Both can be on WiFi, or your Xbox can be wired while your capture device is on WiFi - as long as they're on the same local network.
Step 4: Get the IP Address
Open the F1Laps app on your capture device. It will display an IP address (something like 192.168.1.50). Note this down - you'll need it for the game settings.
Step 5: Configure F1 Game Settings
On your Xbox, start your F1 game and go to Settings > Telemetry Settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| UDP Telemetry | On |
| UDP Broadcast Mode | Off |
| UDP IP Address | Enter the IP from Step 4 |
| UDP Port | 20777 |
| UDP Send Rate | 20Hz |
| UDP Format | 2025 (or match your game year) |
Step 6: Start Racing
With the F1Laps app running on your device, start a session in your F1 game. Data will begin syncing automatically.
Check your F1Laps telemetry page - the connection status should show green.
Troubleshooting
If data isn't appearing:
- Check IP address: The IP in your game settings must exactly match what the app shows
- Same network: Both devices must be on the same local network
- App running: Keep the F1Laps app open and in the foreground (especially on iOS)
- Firewall: If using Windows, ensure the app has network access
