What is this?

The iRacing Survey (iRS) is a collection of visualizations using data collected hourly from iRacing official race sessions.

The Survey provides insights into trends and helps members find populated (or niche) series, which cars and tracks to focus on, etc.

If you have feedback (bug reports, suggestions, etc.), I've set up a GitHub based issue tracker.

Technical Details

The backend is written in Go. Visualizations are a combination of home grown JS and Chart.js. DuckDB and Parquet are used to manage current and historical data. Data modeling was done using Malloy.

Site is updated every hour approximately 10 minutes before the hour. Only official races are counted.

Who built this?

The iRacing Survey was created by me and my alter ego, a mediocre driver named Jason Chess.

Shoutouts

These amazing communities gave Jason a home and taught us how to deal with the anguish of crashing in the last few minutes of a multi hour team race.
