🏎️ Z1 - Formula 1 Game Telemetry Hub

🌐 **Language ** 🇬🇧 English

📖 A real-time, high-performance telemetry dashboard for EA SPORTS F1 25 / F1 26, inspired by the official Formula 1 TV broadcast graphics.

Z1 is a standalone Python application that intercepts UDP telemetry packets generated by the official F1 game and streams them via WebSockets to a sleek, dark-themed local web dashboard. Designed for Broadcast Engineers or sim-racing enthusiasts who want a professional pit-wall experience on a secondary monitor or mobile device.

The application is engineered to handle high-frequency data streams without blocking the user interface. It separates the heavy lifting into background threads while serving a lightweight, hardware-accelerated frontend.

Tech Stack

The dashboard accurately replicates the data a real race engineer would monitor:

• 🏆 All Game Modes Supported: Works seamlessly across all modes, including Time Trial, Career, Grand Prix, and Online Multiplayer.
• 🗺️ Live Track Map: Real-time positioning of all cars on the track, color-coded by team, with dynamic track loading.
• 📈 Telemetry Traces: Live rolling graphs for Speed, Throttle, and Brake inputs.
• 🏎️ Car State: Steering wheel rotation, G-Force radar, current Gear, ERS deployment, and DRS status.
• ⚙️​ ​Tyre & Damage Data: Individual tyre wear percentages, core/surface temperatures, and brake temperatures.
• ⏱️ Timing Tower: Live sector times (Purple/Green/Yellow logic), interval gaps, and fastest lap tracking.
• 🌦️ Live Weather: Short-term forecast integration (current, +5 min, +10 min) with rain probability.

There are 2 different pages:

You do not need to install Python or any dependencies to use Z1. The application is compiled into a lightweight, standalone Windows installer.

1. Go to the Releases page on this repository.
2. Download the latest Z1_Telemetry_Setup.exe file.
3. Run the installer and extract the software to your PC.
4. Launch Z1 from your Desktop or Start Menu.

For the dashboard to receive data, you must enable telemetry output in the F1 game:

1. Open the game and go to Settings > Telemetry.
2. Set UDP Telemetry to On.
3. Set UDP IP Address to 127.0.0.1.
4. Set UDP Port to 20777.
5. Set UDP Send Rate to 30Hz (or higher).
6. Set UDP Format to 2024 or 2025.

Once the Z1 server is running, the desktop window will display a QR Code. Scan it with your smartphone or tablet (ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network) to use your device as a secondary pit-wall display.

For developers interested in compiling from source or modifying the dashboard. (Note: The app.dist folder is intentionally excluded as it is generated during the build process).

This project wouldn't be possible without the resources and groundwork provided by the community and external services:

• 🗺️ Track Data: The track coordinate files used for the live map drawing (tracks/ directory) were sourced and adapted from Fredrik2002's f1-25-telemetry-application.
• 🛡️ Repository Assets: Badges and aesthetic elements for this README were generated using Shields.io and SimpleIcons.
