Cornering Time

[nicZox]

Hi everyone, how can I calculate the time it takes the driver to tackle a corner? I give an example:
If I want to know the time it took the pilot to travel from 5000m to 6000m what can I do? Thanks

If you have a telemetry object with 'Distance' data, you can use pandas indexing to specifically select all parts where Distance >= 5000 and Distance <= 6000. If you then subtract the timestamps of the first sample from the last sample, you will get the time it took for the driver to drive this distance.

Hi did you manage to do it, if yes can you give me a sample of your code

Hope that helps... a little minimal example

#%% Imports
import fastf1 as ff1
import pandas as pd
ff1.Cache.enable_cache('cache')
event = ff1.get_session(2022, 1, 'FP1')
event.load()

#%% Get Data
tel = []
laps = event.laps
for lap in laps.pick_driver("HAM").iterlaps():
    df = lap[1].get_car_data()
    df["LapNumber"] = lap[1]["LapNumber"]
    tel.append(df.add_distance())
data = pd.concat(tel)

#%% Filter for just between 4000 and 4500 m
data = data[(data["Distance"]>4000)&(data["Distance"]<4500)]

#%% Taking Lap 2
specific_lap = data[data["LapNumber"]==2]
delta = specific_lap["Time"].max() - specific_lap["Time"].min()
print(pd.Timedelta.total_seconds(delta))
