Below are the updates that affect users of this website.

Most updates happen due feedback and feature requests by users.
So do not hesitate to contact me.

For all technical (library) updates, take a look at the commits at github.

Update - 2022-12-20

  • Updated API documentation with FTP usage
  • Performance improvements in loading the site and results

Update - 2022-12-16

  • Updated Automobilista 2 tracks, vehicles and classes names
  • Added "Race gaps v2" tab to result pages. This graph is better because it is based on the winner's average lap time as the virtual leader. This significantly improves the graph when pit stops occur. Even without pit stops it is very useful to see whether the leader slows down/improves the pace. See the example before/after screenshots below.
