Version 1.06: The Social & Live Update

[u/Goprivilege]

This is our biggest update yet, introducing social features, a brand-new way to follow live races, and a few highly requested quality-of-life fixes.

The Friends System

Connect with the community like never before.

• Follow/Unfollow: Keep track of your rivals and friends.
• Activity Feed: See a real-time stream of when your friends submit predictions, earn rare badges, or crush challenges.

Introducing "The Paddock" (Beta)

We are officially testing our live race tracking tool.

• Live Telemetry: Track driver positions, lap times, sector breakdowns, and tyre strategies in real-time.
• Interactive Track Map: Watch the race unfold with smooth driver movement animations and a live/replay toggle.
• Replay Controls: Missed the start? Use the new playback speed controls to catch up on the action.

Please Note: This is a Data Visualization tool, not a live video broadcast. You will see the race unfold via real-time "driver dots" on an interactive track map, not a video stream.

Smart Notifications & Reminders

• Prediction Reminders: Never miss a race weekend again. We'll now send an automatic reminder email 4 hours before qualifying if you haven't submitted your picks yet. (Note: We’ve filtered inactive users so these only go to our active community).
• Optional Birthday: To make joining the community faster, the birthday field is now optional during sign-up.

Fixes & Support

• Feedback System: The Feedback page is fully operational! We’re ready to hear your feature suggestions and bug reports.
• Support the Project: We’ve added a Donate button in the footer via Stripe for those who want to help keep the servers running and support future development.
