📄 Description

Hi Tom!

I came across your project on TikTok and was genuinely impressed. The concept of a full F1 race replay with real telemetry is brilliant, and I immediately wanted to contribute. I took some time to explore the codebase and built a feature that I think fits naturally with the spirit of the project.

This PR introduces a “Battle Mode” enhancement to the replay experience.

The main reasons of this addition
• It brings the replay closer to how F1 TV / live timing present race data
• Makes it much easier to spot wheel-to-wheel battles during playback
• Adds depth without changing the core replay functionality
• Enhances user experience while preserving your original design

The updated files are:
• src/f1_data.py — extended frame data, added battle detection & gap-to-leader logic
• src/arcade_replay.py — redesigned leaderboard UI layout to incorporate battle/gap info
• .gitignore — improved to exclude virtual environments, FastF1 cache, and generated data

Thanks for open-sourcing this — it’s a genuinely cool project and inspired me to dive in.
I’d be happy to keep contributing and expanding the replay features if you’re open to collaboration.

Excited to hear your thoughts!
