Real-time Formula 1
telemetry and timing

What's f1-dash?

f1-dash is a hobby project of mine that I started in 2023. It is a real-time telemetry and timing dashboard for Formula 1. It allows you to see the live telemetry data of the cars on the track and also the live timing, which includes things like lap times, sector times, the gaps between the drivers, their tire choices and much more.

What happend to the position data & car metrics?

Formula 1 changed the accesablity of the positional and car data, as its now locked behind a subscription. As I am not willing to circumvent this as well as not implement a not so secure and proper way of an f1 login, this data is not available anymore.

For the positional data we now use minisectors to get an approximate position, from the nature of the minisectors this is not as accurate as the previous positional data, but it still gives a good indication of where the cars are on track.

What is the state of f1-dash?

Currently the project is kind of in a maintenance mode. The GitHub Repository is not 100% up-to-date anymore as I was beginning with a major refactor which is not public yet. This refactored version is currently running here on f1-dash.com. I am planning to release this version sometime, but currently I am focusing on other projects.

What's next?

With v3 was the start of something big. The Initial rediesign enabled different ways to view the data. Sadly with the recent changes of formula 1, as well as the burdon of maintining and operating the platform under constant growth and lastly the fact that some people did not respect the OpenSource nature and liscense of the project. I decided to slowdown the development and focus on basic maintenance and the development of a new project called nitrous. I will post some updates from time to time on Discord or the Website.
