How the F1 reaction test works

  • Click, tap or press Space to start.
  • Five red lights come on one by one, then all go out after a random pause.
  • React the moment they go out. Pressing early, or within 100 ms, is a jump start.

What is a good F1 reaction time?

Most people react in about 200 to 300 ms per start. Under 200 ms is very quick, and under 180 ms is exceptional on typical hardware. Your device adds its own delay, so compare scores on the same setup.

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t I time the lights out?

After the fifth light there is a random pause of 0.2 to 3 seconds, so counting only leads to jump starts.

Why is my time slower on a phone?

Touchscreens and mobile browsers often add more delay than a desktop mouse. Compare scores taken on the same device.

Why is there no sound at lights out?

People usually react faster to a sound than to a light, so a beep would make the test easier and less like a real start.

Is this an official Formula 1 game?

No. It is an independent reaction test inspired by motorsport start lights and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Formula 1.
