Straight answer first: Race RGB does not support Nanoleaf today. Nanoleaf has no cloud API for third-party apps in the way Hue, LIFX and Govee do, and its local API needs a physical button press on the panels to pair, so shipping it properly is a bigger job than the other three were. We would rather say that plainly than keep quoting a date we have already missed.
What does work today: Philips Hue, LIFX and Govee, all with live flag reactions, per-flag colours and effects, fastest-lap flashes and race leader team colours. If you want race lighting this weekend, start with one of those.

Nanoleaf F1 questions
Does Race RGB work with Nanoleaf?
Not yet. Nanoleaf is on the roadmap but no integration has shipped, and we are not putting a date on it until it is close. Philips Hue, LIFX and Govee all work today.
Why is Nanoleaf taking longer than the others?
Hue, LIFX and Govee all expose an API that Race RGB can talk to over your account or your local network. Nanoleaf pairing needs a physical button press on the panels themselves, which makes a reliable setup flow much harder, especially for the cloud path used by the web app.
Which Nanoleaf products would work?
The target is Nanoleaf Shapes, Lines and Elements with pattern sync for race flags, so the panels sweep and pulse rather than just changing colour.
What can I use right now?
Race RGB works today with Philips Hue, LIFX and Govee, so you can start syncing your lights with F1 immediately. The free race-weekend trial needs no card.
