PitSense

A Formula 1 strategy workbench with historical stint data, a race-time optimiser under explicit assumptions, and a Streamlit dashboard.

Status
Prototype
Year
2026
Built on
F1 Race Strategy Engine

Briefing

Problem
Search F1 pit laps and tyre compounds by total simulated race time, with every assumption editable.
What exists today
A Streamlit dashboard with historical stint data and an optimiser, built on the F1 Race Strategy Engine. Defaults are illustrative, not calibrated.

Objective

Explore tyre strategies, and search pit laps and compound sequences by total simulated race time. Every assumption (pace, degradation, tyre life, warm-up, fuel, pit loss) can be edited. The defaults are illustrative, not calibrated race predictions.
