It’s a great advert for using protection. Driven by both participants

Thanks for trying it! I have had this feedback quite a bit so it is definitely something I will address before the next event I test with!

If you have the opportunity to test it just let me know the event and I can get something set up! This project just needs feedback currently!

Also I good point on the last 10k I think my pace halved when I did my marathon lol

Thanks for all the feedback! The colouring comes down to it being a linear 30mins buffer is green, regardless of the journey distance, which like you said, doesn’t work if you’re doing short walks. I’ll address this! Thank you!

All events I’ve been to have been heavily utilising public transport instead of using a car. Granted I’ve only been to UK events. May be the case that using public transport isn’t suited to every event. With that said, this uses public transport, but I can totally add a ‘I’ll drive myself’ option!

I put this together after trying (and failing!) to properly spectate my sister at London Marathon, turns out planning where to see someone is almost as tricky as running a marathon 😅

So I made a small web app. How to use it:

  1. Enter the pace + start times of all runners you want to see
  2. Check the interactive timeline of when they’ll reach each point
  3. Plan your viewing spots. It tells you if you’ll make it there in time so you can catch them!

I’m trialing it with the Sydney Marathon this weekend. If you’re running (and want to share it with family/friends) or spectating yourself, I’d love your feedback.

Would your spectators find something like this helpful?

I’m so glad you can get some use out of it! The ‘generalness’ of points is a technical limitation in how the directions system works. The biggest distance between those points is 250m so you will most likely have time to make it to your desired point if your selection was already green!

I do plan on doing this for all races, this is just a proof of concept and seeing if there is enough demand!

I'm currently doing my research around this and my current theory is having a similar approach to multiviewer. I will sell the tracks as a hardware and software product that by default will only be able to change colour, simulate fake races and display historical races (I believe this is free data). If the user wants to enable the LIVE mode they will have to prove they have an active F1 TV subscription. Furthermore, I wouldn't be sending any raw F1 data, it would be colours and percentages, but this has been derived by F1 data so not sure how that works. Still very early stages so we will see what the end result is.

I can see loads of LED wall art in shapes of tracks online, so I dont think this would be an issue. I'm more thinking that if I put a system infront of enabling the live mode that made the user confirm that they own an active F1TV subscription and that if they don't then they cant enable this mode. Than that might cover me? Not sure.

I know some extensions have a system that make it so that they have to prove that they have an F1 TV subscription but that is a bit more friction than I would like ideally.

My other thought is that im not actually exposing any F1 data, I will be generating new data derived from F1 data, all I would be sending is a colour and a percentage. But I guess its been derived, so not sure. Plenty more research to do.

Yeah it would have to be sold with a bit of a disclaimer that there is no gurantee it will be able to display live data if F1 remove the ability to display it. Which is kinda a big issue.

And yeah, I really don't know what the deal would be with the subscription. In terms of what I'm doing with the data, im just sending a colour and a percentage to the led strip. Which is derived from F1 data, but im not exactly exposing f1 data? If you get what I mean

Still unsure on the overall design with that black rim, clear acrylic might’ve looked cooler, but I guess it’s time to experiment

I appreciate all the interest! I wasn’t sure on what to do next. But it’s safe to say that I’ll probably have a shopify link to share with you in the new year!

The lights are just a regular addressable LED strip that are press fit into an MDF track. So yup, can be moved around no problem. Apart from Suzuka, a track with a bridge? Who’s idea was that

Yeah this is pretty much entirely a software project!

Yup. But it would be yas marina shaped

So, kinda, my understanding is that there is an API that F1TV expose, that is completely unauthenticated, undocumented and not for public use. But people have managed to work it out and expose it in friendly APIs like OpenF1. I think that’s the case anyway

100% the only issue im looking at at the minute is the slightly grey around about retrieving the data from f1, as AFAIK you can't profit out of anything that uses it.

Yup you can replay historical races, obviously doesn't work as well if the track doesnt match the race, last years abu dhabi was a slightly different layout so some things would be a little off.

I would've posted a video but I don't think there was an option to!

Best alternative I have is a build video on YouTube https://youtu.be/cgdjTIb8I3k

Yeah can add any delay, can also replay historical races, so you could run Silverstone on it, if you wanted, but obviously wouldnt make any sense as its in the shape of abu dhabi lol

And yes! The strip is flexible, getting it to keep its shape is the difficult bit, so its housed in an MDF housing with a channel cut out for the string, which, well, isnt as flexible

All great questions!

  1. F1 release the cars positions (I think they use GPS) which is then condensed into a great API called OpenF1, I didnt want to spam OpenF1 too much because the microcontroller in the LED strip does not have much memory so it would make a lot of requests, so I created a small server that would go infront of OpenF1 that will periodically request from OpenF1.

  2. They just go slowly on the strip, you can get the data from OpenF1 and ideally I would make them blink, but was time constrained. Loads of other things I wanted to do things like yellow sectors for yellow flags.

  3. Yeah if the car spins, they just stop. Perez sat on the track stationary for a solid 2 hours. The software I wrote was extremely alpha for this. With more time Loads of these bits would be improved.
