WHAT THIS IS
This is a recorded replay, baked into the page — the real Mexico City qualifying session of 31 October 2026 (recorded across ten minutes, 21:08–21:18 UTC; the table loops the closing minutes of that window, when the whole field was out on its final runs — the long mid-window lull, with every car sitting in its garage, is not looped), carried in the page because the headset makes no live calls in this stage. Every car sits on a measured position from that session's feed, or on the straight line between two measured positions; the picture runs about twelve seconds behind the replay clock so it can interpolate rather than guess, and a car whose data goes stale disappears rather than invent a position. The tower and panels are read from the same recording and always show the state as of the moment you are watching — never a message, stop or lap from the future.
The buildings around the circuit stand on real OpenStreetMap footprints; their heights are stylised where the map carries none. The gaps column on the tower is each driver's best-lap delta from the laps feed — the intervals feed records nothing for qualifying, and the panel says so rather than inventing race gaps.
One honest limit: the feed reports where each car is, not how high — so the table is level and the ribbon stylised. There is no elevation in this picture because there is none in the data.
IN THE HEADSET
- Open this page in the Quest Browser and tap ENTER AR — the table sets itself about a metre in front of you.
- Thumbstick left / right — rotate the table.
- Thumbstick up / down — make the table bigger or smaller.
- Button A (or X) — recentre the table in front of you.
- Button B (or Y) — cycle the data panel: Laps · Pit & Stints · Race Control · Team Radio · Off.
- Grip — hide or bring back all the panels, for a clean table.
- On the Team Radio panel, point and pull the trigger on a clip to hear it.
- On a computer instead: drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, P cycles the panel, H hides it, and clicking a radio clip plays it. The same replay runs.
