Motorsports Telemetry Bridge (Python / Windows)

## Project Overview: Motorsports Telemetry Bridge (Python / Windows) We are looking for a Python developer to build a desktop application that extracts live telemetry from popular racing simulators (**iRacing**, **Assetto Corsa**, and **Assetto Corsa Competizione**) and handles dual-stream outputs. Note: You will not be building this from scratch. A previous prototype and open-source reference examples are already available to accelerate development and guide implementation. --- ### Key Scope & Requirements * **Sim Connectivity & Adapters:** Extract data via shared memory with automatic reconnection when sims close or restart. Use a clean adapter pattern to isolate simulator-specific quirks. * **Dual Data Streams:** * **Live Stream:** Real-time telemetry broadcasted over WebSockets, throttled to ~60Hz for front-end consumption. * **Historic Log:** High-frequency local logging (Parquet preferred or CSV) capturing full session data at the simulator's native rate. * **Data Management & Robustness:** Implement non-blocking asynchronous I/O, session/lap tagging, metadata handling, and edge-case protection (session resets, pauses, frame deduplication, and crash recovery). * **Testing & Verification:** Provide a mock data generator for testing without physical sim access, alongside a targeted `pytest` suite for core state logic. --- ### Tech Stack & Deliverables * **Language:** Python * **Environment:** Windows desktop (headless CLI / batch script execution) * **Architecture:** Modular components for capture, WebSocket broadcast, and async file logging * **Deliverables:** Clean, production-grade, well-documented code repository with setup instructions, configuration via JSON/YAML, and verification tools.
