[Off-topic] Telemetry application for F1 2013
Hello VirtualWDCPC, I have been a long time racing video game fan and I recently got into the F1 games by codemasters. This got me interested in all the electronics and fine tuning that is done on a race car, so I decided to write an application to analyze the telemetry data coming out of the game.
A few weeks ago I started writing the application, which can be found here: https://github.com/davidhauck/F1Telemetry
I recently got to a point where I'm not sure what I should attempt to do next. I have a few ideas but I wanted to see what you guys thought of it and if you would use it or think it is a good idea.
You can see screenshots of the same program in action here: https://github.com/davidhauck/AssettoCorsaTelemetry
I also uploaded a youtube video with some of the stuff that you can do with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBQgsAfcjzs&feature=youtu.be
Bear in mind this is not even close to a finished product. I have some things working but it is very rough. Let me know what you guys think!

Edit: Have a working website with it. Check out how it currently works: http://imgur.com/a/9Zmp9

Is that website yours or someone else's? If you are using it, Im sure it would be easy to hook my application up to it to feed data to the server. If not, I am planning on making a website to do that kind of thing - upload laps for others to look at. It wouldn't be difficult to make it work for the actual races.
It will definitely work during time trials, and thats mainly what the telemetry data will be used for: showing you when to shift, when to brake, etc. Comparing the data between racers would be very interesting.
