Hey guys! I built Lights Out because I've always been obsessed with one moment in F1 — the split second between lights out and hitting the throttle. Verstappen's reaction times consistently sit around 80-130ms. I wanted to know: how close can a normal person get? So I built this tiny web app. No login, no install — just tap and find out. You get rated across 6 tiers (from Verstappen-level to backmarker speed), each with 30 unique F1 roasts that reference real driver moments, team radio memes, and classic F1 drama. There's also a daily global leaderboard that tracks both your single best and average reaction time — because one fast start could be luck, but consistency is what separates champions. The whole thing is bilingual (English + Chinese) and works on any device. Give it a shot and let me know your best time — I'm stuck around 180ms and it's driving me crazy.
