Questions & answers
Is Rerace free to use?
Yes. Rerace is completely free, including the streams, F1 live timing, schedules, standings and news. The site is funded by advertising, so you will see ads while you browse. Rerace never asks for payment details.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Rerace has no accounts, sign-ups or logins, and never asks for your name or email address to watch. Choices such as your cookie settings and temperature unit are stored in your own browser.
Who provides the streams?
Streams come from independent third-party providers. Rerace finds and lists them and embeds their players, but does not host, upload or control any video. That is why quality, delay and availability can vary between sources.
What can I watch on Rerace?
Formula 1, F2, F3 and the Porsche Supercup have dedicated pages, and Rerace also lists live streams across 15 sport categories, including football, basketball, American football, hockey, baseball, motorsport, UFC and boxing, tennis, rugby, golf, cricket, darts, snooker and AFL.
Why is a stream buffering or not loading?
Most problems come from the provider’s server or a busy connection. Switch to another source first, then refresh the page. Using Wi-Fi or a wired connection, closing other tabs and pausing VPNs or blocking extensions for Rerace often helps as well.
What should I do if a stream is broken?
Try the other sources for the same event first. If none work, report it on our Discord server or by email with the event name, the source you tried and your device and browser. We cannot fix third-party streams directly, but we can review and update the sources we list.
How does F1 live timing work?
During Formula 1 sessions, live timing updates in real time with gaps, intervals, sector times, tyres, race control messages and weather, and during races it calculates projected championship standings. It is free, needs no account and often runs slightly ahead of video streams.
Are event times shown in my time zone?
Yes. Rerace reads the time zone set on your device and shows schedules, kick-offs and session times in your local time, with countdowns to upcoming events. If times look wrong, check the date, time and time zone settings on your device.
Why are there ads and pop-ups?
Ads keep Rerace free. Our advertising partner serves formats including banners, native ads, a social bar and pop-unders, which can open a new tab or window. Embedded players come from third-party providers and may show their own ads; if a player ever opens an unwanted tab, simply close it.
Can I use an ad blocker?
You can, but some blockers and privacy extensions stop embedded players from loading or break their controls. If a stream will not start, try pausing your blocker for Rerace or switching source. Ads are what keep Rerace free, so allowing them supports the site.
Does Rerace work on mobile and smart TVs?
Yes. Rerace runs in modern browsers on phones, tablets, desktops and smart TVs, with no app to install. On mobile, rotate to landscape and use full screen. On a TV, use its built-in browser or mirror a browser tab from your phone or laptop.
How does the news section work?
Rerace collects headlines and short excerpts from major sports outlets and shows them in one feed. Each story links to the original publisher, where you can read the full article. Rerace does not republish full articles.
How can I contact Rerace?
The fastest way, especially for stream problems during a live event, is our Discord server. You can also email help@rerace.net or follow @Rerace_ on X for updates. We aim to reply as soon as we can.
How do I report copyright infringement?
Email a notice to help@rerace.net with the details listed on our DMCA page, including the exact Rerace URLs concerned. We review every valid notice and remove or disable access to the listed material promptly. Rerace does not host files, so please also contact the hosting provider.
