About this sound

This 2.6-second voice clip delivers the Formula 1 race-start line “It’s lights out and away we go” in one urgent, rising burst. It feels electric and dramatic, turning an ordinary beginning into a high-stakes launch. The line comes from Formula 1 broadcasts, where commentator David Croft uses it as the lights go out to start a Grand Prix.

How to use this button

Press it as your race starts in a game and everyone finally charges forward together.
Use it to open a challenge video once the rules are explained and the timer begins.
Play it before a sprint, a lap or a speed run when the countdown hits zero.
Press it at the start of a group race night to get every player moving.

Where people drop it

TikTok
Use it to open a race edit or challenge clip right as the action bursts into motion.
YouTube
Place it at the start of a race, challenge or speed-run video to signal the official beginning.
Twitch
Play it when your stream's race or tournament begins so viewers know the competition is live.
Instagram
Add it to a Reel that launches a race, a run or a fast-paced challenge for followers.

Pro tip

Time it to the exact moment the countdown ends, so the call lands as movement begins rather than during the build-up. That split-second match between the words and the first burst of action is what makes the launch feel real.

Good to know

Place this clip at the very start of the edit, just before the first burst of movement, then follow the action with a game show buzzer for a false start or a missed turn, and close a winning finish with a yaaaay cheer.

FAQ

Can I set the Lights Out call as my ringtone?

Yes. Save the MP3 to your phone, then choose it in your sound settings as your ringtone. On most phones you can assign it to all calls or to one contact, so the race-start call announces incoming calls.

Does the Lights Out call work for a non-racing video?

Yes, it works whenever a video needs a clear starting signal. Use it to launch a challenge, a game, a workout or a big reveal, and viewers will understand that the action is beginning right now.

Will Formula 1 fans recognise the Lights Out call straight away?

Yes, most fans will recognise it instantly from race broadcasts. Even casual viewers often know it from race edits and sports clips, so it works as a shared signal that a race is about to begin.
