Formula 1 ELO system. Who are the GOATs? Let's see!
This project is a personal project to calculate the ELO of the Formula 1 drivers, inspired in the next video of Mr V's Garage and motivated to know who are the greatest of all time.
The system will count with 3 different ways to calculate the rating of the drivers: ELO System, iRating system and TrueSkill system.
- Rookie drivers will start with 1000 ELO/rating
- Indy 500 drivers will be ignored
- If we don't have the data analysed of a season with the theoretical performance of the car,
we will use the World Constructors' Championship as a reference, applying a difference of 0.2s per car.we will set the theoretical performance to 0
- ✅ v1.0.0 (Dec 1st of 2024): Publish the first stage of the API with the ELO system implemented.
- ✅ v2.0.0 (Dec 15th of 2024): Implement the iRating system.
- ⬜ v3.0.0: Implement the TrueSkill system.
- ✅ Support for theoretical performance. Added in minor versions 1.1.0 and 1.2.0
- ✅ Mechanism to reset and reprocess all the data, been able to reprocess only one rating system. Added in version v2.0.0
- ⬜ Implement in the elo record also information about how much win/lose the driver and against whom.
- ⬜ Do not save in database Indy 500 drivers and delete relative data.
- ⬜ Blue/Green deployment using Docker Swarm.
- ⬜ Improvements in performance (optimization of SQL queries and code process).
- ⬜ Take into account DNS and DNF in the calculation of the rating, mechanical issues should not impact negatively to drivers.
- ⬜ Create open source libraries to calculate ratings.
