Python & Arduino Uno Slot Car Simulated F1 Racing Telemetrics
This project was inspired by the Netflix "F1: Drive to Survive" tv show. I wanted to simulate the same environment the tv show depicted using my HO scale slot car set. I thought a lap timer would be best and found one for sale for about $100. Then I realized that I could make not only a lap timer but a pole position timer using the Arduino Uno and several magnetic pickup switches. Although this project is designed for a single lane it can be expanded easily to a multiple lane format. The data telemetrics display is not solely accurate but with a little fine tuning can be made to be much more usable for a racing environment. This is primarily for display purposes only.

*** NOTE2: All the files MUST be located in the same directory to run and work correctly. The only exception is the Arduino sketch.
