Reaction Test: "Formula at the Start"

Description of the "Formula at the Start" Reaction Test This test will help you evaluate your reaction capabilities using either a computer mouse or a mobile device's touchscreen. All you need to do is press the mouse button at the right moment when the traffic light turns green, signaling the start of an improvised Formula race. The sooner you hit the gas, the better your chances of winning any competition. However, stay extremely alert and honest – don't press the gas prematurely in an attempt to predict the green light, as in serious competitions such an action, known as a false start, would likely lead to disqualification.

How the test works?

You'll see a realistic simulation of a race start:

• A car ready to start on the track with grandstands
• The traffic light sequentially lights up red, yellow and green signals
• Your goal is to press the button immediately when the green light appears
• The time between yellow and green lights varies from 1 to 3 seconds

Why is this important?

In motorsports, the start often determines the outcome of the entire race. Professional drivers train their start reaction for years:

• Average Formula 1 driver's reaction time at start: 200-250 ms
• A difference of 100 ms can mean losing several positions
• The best drivers can react within 150-180 ms

How to improve your reaction?

Regular training with our test will help:

1. Improve concentration
2. Develop ability to quickly respond to visual stimuli
3. Learn to control premature reactions (false starts)
4. Increase decision-making speed
