F1 Pitwall is a personal project – a live Formula 1 dashboard that displays a broadcast-style leaderboard during practice, qualifying and races with positions, gaps, lap times, tyre compounds and pit stops.
Beyond live timing it features a home page with a countdown to the next round, driver and constructor standings for every season since 1950, a full calendar with results, and driver/team profiles with season stats.
Data comes from two open APIs (OpenF1 for live data, Jolpica for historical results) – all requests go through Next.js server handlers with multi-layer caching, so the browser never hits the upstream sources directly.
Solution
Next.js App Router with smart caching via Upstash Redis: live data polled every 5 seconds, historical data cached up to 7 days. Server-first architecture for instant first paint.
Results
A fully working dashboard for following races in real time – with live timing, an archive of 70+ seasons and reliable caching without a dedicated database.
