Real-time Formula 1 telemetry and timing

f1-dash

A real-time F1 dashboard that shows the leader board, tires, gaps, laps, mini sectors and much more

project structure

This project is mono-repo style. Which means it includes the frontend as well as the backends and some extra tools for developing and testing.

• dash (frontend) displays the data served from the backend. Also know as the thing you see when you visit f1-dash.

• live-backend (backend) gets the data from formula 1, stores it in a postgres database and sends it to the connected clients. See live-backend/readme.md for more info

• api-backend (backend) currently only provides data of the full schedule and next round

Other tools used during development or testing are:

• data-saver Connects to the f1 socket and prints out the messages it receives. Its written in rust. I usually use it to pipe the output into a txt file which the data-simulator then can use. Write to txt like this: cargo run > some-name.data.txt

• data-simulator Reads a txt from the data-saver and simulates the f1 websocket. The websocket gets started on port 8000. Start it like this cargo run some-name.data.txt

setup

Because we have multiple components you need to install following things

• node
• yarn
• rustup (cargo)

to start the whole thing do this

cd dash/
yarn
yarn dev

cd api-backend/
cargo run

cd live-backend/
cargo run
