Profile in progress

PRASIDH is building their profile!

I've been watching Formula 1 since 2014. Through the Mercedes era, the 2021 title fight that broke my heart and rebuilt it, and the Sunday-afternoon alarms for flyaway races, F1 has been a constant for me for over a decade. So I finally built the thing I always wanted to exist: a real-time F1 race dashboard that doesn't just show what's happening but predicts what's about to. šŸŽļø What it does: A live track map with every car moving in real time, built from real GPS data. Live timing, tires, gaps, and pit stops. And the part I'm most proud of: AI predictions for tire life, pit windows, safety-car risk, and where each car will actually finish The honest results (because numbers should mean something): Its finishing-position guess is on average within ~2 places of where a car really ends up. So if it says "P5," reality is usually P3–P7. It gets about 3 in 4 of its podium calls right while the race is still running. For safety cars: when it says there's roughly a 1-in-8 chance of one soon, that's about how often one actually appears, i.e., the percentages are honest, not vibes. What I learned the hard way: in a sport this strategic, the live running order is already a brutally good predictor. Beating it isn't about more data; it's about modeling the chaos (safety cars, rain, and DNFs). That reframing was the whole project. Built with Python, FastAPI, React, and a Monte Carlo simulation engine. Every predicted number is labelled so it's never confused with real telemetry. From fan to builder, easily the most fun I've had with a side project. šŸ Repo + write-up in the comments. Would love feedback from other F1 + data folks.
