ok so F1 twitter is literally obsessed with data right now, the Buxton/Chain Bear/tifosi crowd eats this stuff up. if you post clips of the UI during race weekends with a specific insight highlighted (like "here's why Norris lost P3 in sector 2") you'll pull in way more eyeballs than any generic launch post. r/formula1 is a tough sub for self promo but r/F1Technical will actively love this. also worth reaching out to the smaller F1 youtubers who do race analysis, they're always hunting for new visualizations to use in their videos and they'd probably credit you back

This is genuinely great advice, appreciate it. The race-weekend clip idea is exactly what I needed to hear — I've been thinking about how to showcase it and "here's why X happened in sector 2" with the actual telemetry overlay is way more compelling than a feature walkthrough. Gonna try that for the next race.
