This is really slick. I remember when I used to have the F1TV version pulled up on my laptop during sessions - eventually I decided it wasn't that helpful. The radio and race control panels on this are awesome.

Definitely giving it a test run during the race tomorrow!

Thank you so much. Please try it out and let me know if you have any feedback!
Really, really love the interface and the way you have the calendar, FIA docs, etc available too. Shout out for the delay feature -- I was able to sync it perfectly with my TV stream!

The big problem I had was desync. Every 5-10 minutes, random parts of the interface would stop updating. Sometimes the whole page would blank out. I was able to fix it once by loading one of the other panels (like the FIA docs) and then going back to the live data. Eventually it broke and I wasn't able to fix it (around lap 18 or so). Thinking maybe sockets aren't reconnecting when their connection drops from the client side? And it seemed like there was some issue that prevented it from fixing with a simple refresh.

That's right. I'm truly sorry. This race had three times the traffic of a normal race and twice the traffic of the previous day's qualifying, so i had to urgently upscale our server instances, and i confirmed that several instances experienced issues..

I plan to implement stabilization measures throughout the live timing server code during this summer break.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during this important race.
