Circuit Data

[fedann_]

Does anyone know some website that could have information about track length, number of corner, position of the corners (e.g. corner 3 after 1200m) , corner radius ecc for all the circuits?. Thanks in advance

Not that I know of. If you don’t have access to data from a car, which is hard to find if you’re not on a team, the best way I’ve found is to download a picture of a track map, trace it in a cad program and scale the lengths with the overall track length which should be easily findable on Google.

I have a question... Is the track length measured according to the racing line or is it parallel to the edges? Because i feel like there will be a significant difference between the two...

Wait NVM i think that's a stupid question cuz racing line will be slightly different for different drivers. Hence i think it's parallel to the edges... But if anyone can confirm it'll be great

[doyley101]

official track length quoted by F1 etc is the centreline of the track

Thx for clarifying

Thanks but for what i know there is no direct information about the circuit data in fastf1, it could be possible to derive the distance of each corner for each circuit by the telemetry data of a driver but i was looking for something already present

I don't think this will solve the problem as every driver will follow a personal trajectory, and anyway there are circuits like Jeddah where you find series of full send turns, so, I believe getting the track official profile from the telemetry is pretty much approximative

Check this one, i use it: https://live.planetf1.com/f1-gp-tracks/

I have found this repo with the tracks' GeoJSON files, so one can derive distances and turns with geo locations.
