How RaceCopilot
Thinks in Real Time.

Fast rule-based race logic handles the critical path. AI is used where it belongs: intent, explanation, and natural voice.

01 / input
Game Telemetry

F1 2025 UDP packets stream live session, lap, car, rival, pit, and event data.

02 / adapter
Normalize

Game-specific fields are mapped into one shared RaceCopilot telemetry model.

03 / state
Live Memory

Current race state, recent laps, gap trends, and known events stay in low-latency memory.

04 / core
Monitor

Pit windows, safety car moments, tire drop-off, rival pressure, and undercut risk are watched continuously.

05 / decision
Recommend

The decision layer prioritizes useful calls and filters noise with urgency and cooldown rules.

06 / output
Voice

RaceCopilot answers the driver or speaks up proactively through short TTS messages.

Local Storage

SQLite records sessions, laps, stints, pit events, and recommendations for history and post-race review without uploading raw telemetry.

AI Layer

The LLM is not the race engine. It routes voice intent and turns trusted analytics into natural, clear explanations.

// What It Does

Built for What
Happens Mid-Race.

Every feature is designed for the moments that decide positions, build confidence, and make the car feel more alive.

Voice Interaction

Ask questions without lifting a finger. Instant spoken answers during full-speed racing, like having a race engineer on call.

  • "Who is behind me?"
  • "Am I losing time in sector 2?"
  • "How is my pace vs last lap?"
  • "I am understeering. What should I change?"
  • "Where am I losing the most?"
Proactive Alerts

Your engineer speaks up before you lose position, no prompting required.

  • Safety car / VSC deployment
  • Undercut and overcut threats
  • Pressure warnings from behind
  • Pit window recommendations
Real-Time Analytics

Live data as it happens: pace trends, gap deltas, sector breakdowns, and consistency tracking.

  • Pace trend over last N laps
  • Gap delta to rivals
  • Sector-by-sector breakdown
  • Consistency tracking
Strategy Monitoring

Tracks every car on track so you are never surprised by a pit call or an undercut.

  • Competitor pit stop detection
  • Tire life and stint evaluation
  • Can my tires reach the end?
  • Safety car-aware pit timing
Driving Feedback

Tell RaceCopilot what the car is doing and get calm, practical advice during the stint.

  • "I am understeering in fast corners"
  • "Rear is sliding on corner exit"
  • Brake bias and differential suggestions
  • Technique advice based on telemetry context

Hamilton has boxed for fresh mediums. Undercut risk rising. Prepare to pit within 2 laps.
Driver: "Who is behind me?"
Copilot: Norris, 11.4 seconds back. He is faster, but not an immediate threat.

Copilot
Car behind is gaining 0.3s per lap. He will be in your DRS window in 4 laps. Defend into Turn 6.
Driver
"Who has pitted so far?"
Copilot
Hamilton, Alonso, and Norris have pitted. Hamilton is 4.2 seconds behind on fresh mediums. Undercut risk is growing. Recommend boxing within 2 laps.
Copilot
Virtual Safety Car deployed. Box this lap. Free stop at current gaps.
Driver
"I am understeering through sector 2. What can I do?"
Copilot
Short term: brake a touch earlier and release smoother into the apex. If it keeps happening, move brake bias rearward one click and avoid minimum-speed over-rotation.
Driver
"What is my gap to P3?"
Copilot
P3 is 11.4 seconds behind. Comfortable, but their compound looks newer. Monitor in the final stint.
// Who It Is For
