Live timing not working during F1 practice sessions

[Sese-Schneider]

Hi, thanks for your package!

I have an issue using the live timing feature during F1 practice sessions: No data is received at all.
Looking at other packages and implementations I know that at least CarData.z and TimingData should be available during the sessions from the wss://livetiming.formula1.com/signalr endpoint.

The basic implementation I use:

from livef1.adapters import RealF1Client
from livef1.utils.logger import set_log_level

set_log_level('DEBUG')

client = RealF1Client(
    topics=['TimingData', 'TrackStatus', 'Position.z', 'TyreStintSeries', 'Timing_Data', 'RaceControlMessages', 'SessionStatus', 'track_regions', 'CarData.z']
)

@client.callback("handler")
async def handle_data(records):
    print(record) 

client.run()

Hi, sorry for the late response. I will test the RealF1Client in the next practice session and return to you 👍

My small driver tracker also stopped working, maybe they changed the API...

I have been working on to solve that issue, somehow the CarData.z and Position.z channels are not sending data. Still not able to fix that issue, will be appreciated if you can find clue about the solution.

Sorry for commenting on an old issue, but I was wondering if live timing still working. I've try during Australian and Chinese GP and haven't had any success of displaying any data during live sessions.

Hi again, I was searching for the problem and seems like /signalr endpoint of livetiming.f1.com is not publishing some topics especially "CarData.z" and "Position.z". For the other topics you should have them.

Seems like F1 is now using another endpoint /signalrcore which requires F1TV subscription to access. I will work a authentication mechanism but in each case to access to those topics, you will need a F1TV subscription to access
