RaceHooks is a motorsports analytics platform and real-time data delivery API, building since 2022. Subscribe to 50+ live F1 timing feeds and receive structured payloads pushed to your endpoint the moment each event fires — no polling required. Custom-tier subscribers get fourteen production ML models enriching every payload in real time: pit stop and win probability, safety car, overtake, undercut, tyre degradation, qualifying pace, fastest lap, DNF risk, and more. F1 is live today. The IndyCar data API is available now, with live IndyCar delivery in development.

Is there a free Formula 1 API?

Yes — RaceHooks has a free tier and it needs no credit card. It covers historical session data plus Simulate replays of current-season sessions through your own webhook endpoints, so you can build and test a complete integration before you pay for anything. Live feed delivery starts on Developer; the full ML analytics stack is on Custom.

How do I get real-time Formula 1 timing data?

Register a webhook URL, subscribe to the timing feeds you want, and RaceHooks pushes each update to your endpoint as the session runs — typically well within a second. There's no polling loop to maintain and no reconnect logic to write. Every payload is HMAC-signed, retried automatically on failure, and logged in your console.

Which motorsports does RaceHooks support?

F1 is live and available today — 50+ real-time feeds from every session. The IndyCar data API is available now — race results, championship standings, season schedule, and driver roster — with live IndyCar delivery in development. NASCAR and Formula E are on the roadmap. Sign up on the free tier today and your integration will work across all sports as they launch.

Which series can I access beyond F1?

The IndyCar data API is available now — race results, championship standings, season schedule, and driver roster. Live IndyCar delivery is in development; join the waitlist to be notified at launch and to shape what feeds matter most to your integration. NASCAR and Formula E are on the roadmap.

How long does it take to set up a RaceHooks integration?

Under 5 minutes. Sign up, register your webhook URL, subscribe to one or more feeds, and your endpoint starts receiving live payloads during the next session. No credit card required for the free tier.

What F1 data feeds does RaceHooks provide?

RaceHooks provides 50+ real-time F1 data feeds including timing data (lap times, sector times, gaps), race control messages (flags, safety car, track status), car telemetry, weather data, driver tracking, tyre strategy data, session lifecycle events, and more. Custom-tier payloads add fourteen production ML model outputs per driver: tyre health and degradation rate, pit stop probability, win and podium probability, safety car probability, overtake probability, undercut threat, qualifying pace, fastest-lap probability, DNF risk, and more.

What is the delivery latency for RaceHooks webhooks?

RaceHooks delivers enriched payloads to your endpoint in real time — typically well within a second of happening live. Delivery includes automatic retry with exponential backoff, and every attempt is logged in your console.

Can I test my webhook integration without waiting for a live race?

Yes. RaceHooks includes a Simulate feature that replays current-season sessions (the full historical archive is on Custom) against your registered webhooks at 1×, 5×, or 10× speed. You can test your full integration before the next race weekend.

Validated against live prediction markets

Our models beat prediction markets.

We grade our models each race against live prediction markets: Polymarket and Kalshi. In 2026, our win probabilities scored closer to the result than theirs, before lights-out and live during race events.

Every prediction was made with the outcome unknown, then graded against what happened and how we stack up against other competitors and prediction markets.

Pre-race winner · vs Polymarket

6 of 9 races

Our lights-out line priced the winner more accurately than the market in six of the season's nine races.

Leadp = 0.005

Live win probability · vs Kalshi

44% better

As the race runs, our win probabilities are 44% closer to the real outcome.

Leadmid p=0.001 · late p=0.011

Champion called · 2018–2025 vs baseline

75% vs 38%

We name the eventual champion 75% of the time. Aggregate prediction markets across the same period is right 38% of the time.

Lead8 seasons

Title race · round by round

We compute championship probabilities continuously as the season unfolds.

Each line is the model's live championship probability after every round of 2025. If we just followed the points leader, one line would sit on top all year. Instead the lead changes hands — Piastri our favorite from late August into October — before Norris's late surge to the title.

Norris · championPiastriVerstappen

Norris took the title, but it never seems set in stone. Our model had him as low as 24% in early September, with Piastri at 76%. Calling a season isn't backing the leader; it's being right about when the lead is real.

The full scorecard

Our goal is to beat the market everywhere, but we aren't there yet.

Market	Season	Us vs the market	Significance	Calibration (ours vs market)	Verdict
Pre-race winner	2026	Sharper in 6 of 9 races	p = 0.005	0.020 vs 0.022	Lead
Live winner, mid + late	2026	44% better calibrated	p ≤ 0.01	0.014 vs 0.025	Lead
Drivers' champion	2025	Right 71% vs 24%	p < 0.01	0.015 vs 0.044	Lead
Live winner, opening laps	2026	Level	n.s.	on par	Parity
Podium (top 3)	2026	Level	n.s.	market tighter	Parity
Constructors' champion	2024	Level	n.s.	0.088 vs 0.109	Parity

“Parity” means we do not beat the market yet. We continuously invest in our ML algorithms to eventually beat the market on every category.
