For sometime I have been using a real-time Formula 1 Live Timing Website called f1.tfeed.net. But I always didn’t quite like the UI of it, its a great website for functionality don’t get me wrong but the UI looks quite “old”. So I decided to write my own Formula 1 Live Timing Dashboard. For now It looks like this:
And with the next GP coming right up, I thought now would be a great time to “release it to the public”.
So here is the f1-dash Website
Its has been In the works for a couple Months now, mainly because I wanted to over engineer it, but failed.
Its also completely free to use, as well as open-source on Github, so If you would like to contribute, feel free.
I hope u like it and have fun using it.
Things Id like to do next are:
- Race Schedule of Current Seasons and Past Seasons
- Because of that maybe a replay option of old races
- Head to Head View
- Favorite driver Highlighting
- Position after Pitstop
- Graphs for Gap and Laptime
- Write backend in Rust
Works really well for me for now, and looks fantastic. Just the team radios sometimes showed a 100% bar and did not play in Safari on the iPad.
The delay to stream is perfect, maybe save the value to the local storage to save it during reloads?
I’m currently testing this during qualifying. I have an issue, that all updates stop after a couple of seconds. Is this because your server is overloaded? I tested Firefox and Vivaldi mobile (also using the desktop website).
I have to say though as long as I got updates, it was mighty impressive. Keep up the great work! I may have to test running the code in my own machine.
I deployed a new version of the backend, im gonna test it during the race, if it doesn’t work, I’ll revert to the old version. Let’s see how this goes…
Sadly, I wasn’t able to catch the race today. But I’m definitely gonna check it out again!
