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

Looks beautiful and released just in time :)!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah I thought, now or never ;)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you I appreciate it :)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll second this, it was brilliant when it was working! I assume it's just the old hug of death, but great work otherwise OP!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah will take a look and thank you (:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly aside from it freezing a few times it was really cool to use! Getting the mini-sector time colours is way more detail than I was expecting, and the delay-to-sync-with-your-stream option is such a good feature.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you I appreciate it a lot. The mini sectors were a big part of why I wanted to create f1-dash 😅 And the delay feature Is still a bit wonky but I really wanted to add it because its such a bad feeling getting spoilers from the live timing 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had no freezing issues whatsoever during the race, it was a great experience!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Okay this great to hear, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I also noticed this, definitely something is going wrong. The server was under some use because the backend is hosted on an old desktop of a friend which also runs other game servers, which probably impacted performance.

Yeah go ahead and run it on your own machine, all you need is bun, node and yarn :)

But thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sadly, I wasn't able to catch the race today. But I'm definitely gonna check it out again!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well this works really well, very easy to follow what's happening, the team radio recordings are really cool too. One thing I noticed, the actually time, doesn't appear to be either local or my time...for example, the session was green flagged at 12:30 local time, (11:30 BST) in app it said 10:30...🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, thanks for the feedback. I think currently it’s UTC. Will look into it:)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perfect, thanks again for sharing this, & all your efforts, it really is "simply lovely"...😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Should be fixed now and it should be local time :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Marvelous thank you!, I'm at work now following the qualifying 😬..👍🏼

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks really cool. Thanks for making it and sharing with us.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, you’re welcome! Glad you like it :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is amazing! what a brilliant tool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's really cool, looks great, thanks for sharing this 👍🏼

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you, glad u like it :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Really nice work! Bookmarked!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wow! Looks so good! Can't wait to try it out this weekend!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like a fun thing to kick off the second half with! Good job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s fun to watch it on the side sometimes. And thank you I appreciate it :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Testing it now. This is awesome!

Small point. The names don’t follow the dots on the track view. (Safari)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s a known issue, Safari doesn’t like the SVG text updates. I need to take a deeper look into that once. But thanks for the feedback!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Okay will take a look at the Team Radios. The delay is a feature I wanted to get out asap, but I am gonna revisit it again and make it better, the saving is definitely a good idea!
