State and attributes
This sensor is currently in beta. The behavior has not been verified across all edge cases and timing scenarios. Treat the values as indicative rather than definitive until further testing is complete.
sensor.f1_race_time_to_three_hour_limit - Time remaining until the FIA three-hour race duration cap is reached. This sensor is only available during the main race session (not sprint races).
This sensor counts down to three hours after the recorded race start, independently of the session clock. It is a timing aid and does not predict the final lap or an official decision about when the race will end.
State
- String: remaining time formatted as
H:MM:SS(e.g.,2:14:30), orunavailablewhen no data is available or outside the main race.
Example
2:14:30
