f1-telemetry 2025.3.3

F1 telemetry data collection and visualisation

F1 Telemetry Data Collector

This Python application uses InfluxDB to collect telemetry data from the official F1 game.

It is also possible to display live session and car data.

Installation

The application requires Python >= 3.8 to work.

pip install pipx
pipx install f1-telemetry

Usage

Ensure that InfluxDB is running with at least an Org and an access token, and configured with an f1-telemetry bucket.

f1-tel <org> <token>

This also serves a very basic web application for telemetry and live data visualisations. With InfluxDB still running, navigate to http://localhost:20776/index.html page in the browser with the org and token parameters, e.g.

http://localhost:20776/index.html?org=P403n1x87&token=NLyjW4ml8XuTPTwCbtC5PC1Z-JJ6lwjAm7B1-ScM_XP9N_eoCkIGTmm3wHrC92cQVsMmKofgqbx6PM-ZZgVQKw==

NOTE: The application can run without InfluxDB. In this case, no telemetry data will be stored. If you are using this tool without a running instance of InfluxDB, the <org> and <token> arguments must still be provided, but they can be random values, e.g.

f1-tel no influxdb

Additional Features

TT Rival Data

When collecting data from Time Trials and competing against a rival, some of the rival's car data is also collected, like throttle, brake, speed, and gears, for comparison.

Reporting

After sessions like Qualifying and Race, the final classification data can be collected in CSV reports by passing the -r,--report option from the command line. The files are generated in the current working directory. The collected data can be useful for league coordinators.
