Session Clock

The Session Clock is the dramatic countdown / elapsed / remaining timer that lives on the pit wall display. Find it at Event → Session Clock.

Three states

StateWhenDisplay
Pre-sessionBefore session.startsAtCountdown to start
LiveBetween start and endElapsed + remaining
ClosedAfter session.endsAtFinal elapsed

The view auto-detects the state based on the selected session.

Layout

  • Huge monospaced clock dominating the centre of the screen
  • A condensed "leaderboard" panel on the side — best lap per car for the session (pulls from the laps endpoint)
  • Optional countdown chime at 5/1/0 minutes (UI scaffold; audio not yet hooked up)

What you can do today

  • Open the clock on a second display for the pit wall
  • See the seeded session's countdown / elapsed
  • See the live "best lap" snippet update as you POST new laps

What's coming

  • Audio cues — pit-wall chime / horn integration
  • Custom session lengths / red flag adjustments — today it reads startsAt/endsAt as fixed; flags should shift the remaining clock
  • Multi-class leaderboard — split GTD vs LMP2, by class
  • Track-status overlay (yellow / SC / red)
