F1 Telemetry Analyzer

Turns raw F1 22 lap telemetry into compact Markdown reports you can paste into an LLM for analysis. A full raw lap is ~1M tokens; these reports are 1–35k.

# from the tool/ folder
python -m telemetry technique "races/Zandvoort/Practice/zandvoort_P1_L7_74.074_ferrari.csv"
# -> races/Zandvoort/Practice/reports/zandvoort_P1_L7_74.074_ferrari_technique.md   (~35k tokens)

Or just double-click run-gui.bat and click Generate report.

Install

  • Python 3.10+ (uses only the standard library — no pip install).
  • Tk is required for the GUI; it ships with the standard Python installer on Windows/macOS. The CLI works without it.

Download or clone the repository. Keep your telemetry CSVs in the parent folder of tool/ (see folder layout).

What it does

Five modes. Four produce reports, one renames files.

Mode Input Use it to analyse
technique one lap how you drive — braking points, apex speeds, throttle application, lockups, resource cost
setup one lap what is set — balance (US/OS), tyre temps, brakes, suspension rake & roll
compare two+ laps where one lap is faster — per-corner and cumulative delta
race a folder of laps the whole race — pace, stint degradation, tyre wear, ERS per lap
rename files/folder insert session type and lap number into each filename (..._74.074_... → ..._P1_L7_74.074_...)

Reports include a legend explaining every column and have the analysis prompt auto-appended at the end — just drop the file into an LLM. Prompts come in RU and EN; pick with --lang en on the CLI or the language radio in the GUI.

Handy things

GUI — double-click run-gui.bat (or run-gui.pyw for no console window, or run python -m telemetry gui). Pick a mode and language (RU/EN), browse to the file/folder, click Generate. The file browser remembers the last used directory per mode. The Rename unprocessed button adds the session type and lap number to files that don't have them yet and leaves the rest alone.

CLI — from the tool/ folder:

python -m telemetry technique races/Zandvoort/Practice/lap.csv
python -m telemetry setup     races/Zandvoort/Practice/lap.csv
python -m telemetry compare   races/Zandvoort/Practice/lap_a.csv races/Zandvoort/Practice/lap_b.csv
python -m telemetry race      races/Zandvoort/Race
python -m telemetry rename    races/Zandvoort/Practice   # or individual files

# choose prompt language (default: ru)
python -m telemetry technique races/Zandvoort/Practice/lap.csv --lang en

Every report run prints the output path and a token estimate:

C:\...\Telemetry\reports\lap_technique.md
~33834 tokens (budget 60k)

Rename only touches unprocessed files. A file is "processed" once its name contains both a session token (P1, Q2, R, …) and an L<number> token. Re-running rename on the same folder is safe.

Input format

F1 22 UDP telemetry exported to CSV (tested with F1Laps). UTF-8, ~1800 rows per lap (≈29 Hz), 108 channels. One file = one lap. For race mode, drop all of a race's lap files into one folder.

For developers

Pure-stdlib Python. Pipeline: parser → segments (+ corner_metrics) → resample → report_*. See ARCHITECTURE.md.

cd tool
python -m pytest -q        # run the test suite
python -m telemetry gui    # launch the GUI

Adding a mode: drop a telemetry/report_<mode>.py exposing generate(...) -> (abs_path, tokens) and wire one line into telemetry/__main__.py. The parser, corner detection, adaptive trace, and shared report blocks are reused.
