Old fashioned web homepage of James Trotman (UK based software developer), started in 1999 & still updated.
For F1 fans - I have published some code at Kaggle that generates races traces for each and every Grands Prix in the Formula One World Championship, since 1996.
The code is set to auto update so check that page a few hours after the race finishes to see the latest race plot!
The notebooks use the Formula 1 World Championship 1950-2021 data set, which is sourced from ergast.com.
A race trace is a way to visualise the progress of an entire Grand Prix, they show gaps between cars and general field spread, as well as the relative pace of each car throughout the race (as line gradient).
The traces are calculated from cumulative race lap times, adjusted by the median lap-time at that point in the race.
You can think of the horizontal zero line as a "ghost car" doing the average lap time of the field - a trace line above zero means the driver is ahead of the ghost-car, and below means slower. The slowest cars are usually lapped by the leaders so their line ends sooner (they completed fewer laps) - and some may be truncated, falling off the bottom of the plot, to save space (a 180 second cut-off is used).
IMHO these copies look better as just plain-ish html here without all the menu's & logos:
