iRacing Replay Director - Prototype Demo

This video is a demo of the iRacing Replay Director prototype tool i have been working on. The core of it is an attempt to get decent, realtime delta data between the cars on the track, so as decisions can be made on which cars to show. This also translates into the html layer that can be used to show the leader board and current focus driver details.

The biggest challenge was trying to get the real time data, as in replays the position and time deltas to the leader are only updated when the leader crosses the finish line, so I had to use percentage of lap complete and some maths to generate the leader board and distance gaps between cars.

Currently this is a pretty basic NodeJs application, using the excellent node-irsdk library from https://github.com/apihlaja/node-irsdk, recorded in OBS using the Browser overlay feature.
