Feature update: practice and qualifying lap downloads
You can now download a CSV containing every lap from practice and qualifying at any time, from the moment the session begins.
For a long time, you've been able to download a CSV of all the laps from a race. For example:
Justin Barber
And in the last few months, I've added session results, as here:

Now, we have live lap tracking of non-race sessions available from the moment the session starts. From a race preview page, you can download a CSV of all laps run in that session at any time:

Thanks to Racing In The Draft for the suggestion. If you have anything you'd like see added to Lap Raptor, or anything you think can be done with lap-by-lap data since 2020, send me a DM on Twitter.
I find the current state of live race views lacking. I'm working on Lap Raptor Live, which will let you follow along with the race. Check out what I'm calling the alpha version below.
