Race Weather
Compare current circuit conditions with the forecast for race start. During a session, live track measurements can replace the current forecast while the race-start forecast stays visible.
Availability
Forecast / Public live. Enable Weather. Track Weather adds live measurements; Next Race supplies race and circuit context, and Session Status determines when to prefer live conditions. Forecasts and public live track weather do not require F1TV Auth.
Add the card
- Open your dashboard, select Edit dashboard, then Add card.
- Search for F1 and select the Race Weather card.
- Select Weather under Data Sources and leave Prefer live weather enabled. Add Track Weather, Next Race and Session Status to show live conditions with race context.
- Select Save.
If the card is missing from the picker, follow Card installation. With more than one F1 Sensor entry, use the sources from the same entry; see Entity selection.

Use the card
The card can show air and track temperature, rain, humidity, pressure and wind when the source supplies them. Live conditions are preferred during pre, live, suspended and break session states. Home Assistant unit preferences determine temperature and wind presentation.

When data is missing
Track temperature and other live measurements may be absent between sessions. The race-start forecast may also be missing when it is not yet available from the weather source. Check the Weather entity before treating an incomplete forecast as a card error.
For an Entity not found message, check the selection in Data Sources and confirm that the entity is enabled in F1 Sensor. For a missing card type or an old interface after an update, use the card loading checks.
