what is f1-simulator fr?

Project Pitwall is an early prototype of a real-time Formula 1 race management simulation, run in a web browser. It simulates the current 2026 F1 driver grid racing at Silverstone, using a fixed-step simulation engine that runs in a background process called a Web Worker so the animation stays smooth. After installing and starting it with a couple of npm commands, the simulation opens in a browser and begins automatically at normal speed. From there a user can pause or resume the race, speed it up to as much as sixteen times normal speed, click on any car or row in the timing tower to inspect it, and select one of the Mercedes drivers to issue simple strategy commands about pace or tyre management. Resetting the simulation always returns to the same starting conditions, since it uses a fixed random seed, which makes race outcomes repeatable for testing. The current version includes the full eleven team, twenty two driver 2026 grid, an accurate model of Silverstone's track length and fifty two lap race distance, a live map built with the PixiJS graphics library, a timing tower, tyre wear and temperature tracking, and fuel burn simulation. Several features that a full race manager game would need are intentionally left out for now, including pit stops, tyre changes, weather, safety cars, and qualifying sessions. These are planned for later and listed in a separate game design document. Driver names, team details, and track geometry are sourced from Formula 1's official website and OpenStreetMap data. This project is aimed at developers and racing fans interested in simulation prototypes rather than at players looking for a finished game.
