Quick Start

use f1_nexus_strategy::*;
use f1_nexus_core::*;

// Create optimization config
let config = OptimizationConfig {
    total_laps: 70,
    circuit: create_monaco_circuit(),
    available_compounds: vec![TireCompound::C1, TireCompound::C2, TireCompound::C3],
    pit_lane_time_loss: 22.0,
    tire_change_time: 2.5,
    current_position: 1,
    competitors_ahead: vec![],
    degradation_factors: DegradationFactors::default(),
    fuel_model: FuelConsumptionModel::default(),
    starting_fuel: 110.0,
};

// Optimize pit strategy
let strategy = optimize_pit_strategy(&config)?;

println!("Optimal strategy:");
println!("Starting compound: {:?}", strategy.starting_compound);
for (i, stop) in strategy.pit_stops.iter().enumerate() {
    println!("Stop {}: Lap {} -> {:?}", i + 1, stop.lap.0, stop.compound);
}
println!("Predicted race time: {:.2}s", strategy.predicted_race_time);
println!("Confidence: {:.1}%", strategy.confidence * 100.0);

Race Simulation

use f1_nexus_strategy::simulation::*;

let sim_config = SimulationConfig {
    num_iterations: 10000,
    circuit: create_spa_circuit(),
    weather_forecast: WeatherForecast::default(),
    degradation_variance: 0.05,
    lap_time_variance: 0.02,
};

let results = simulate_race(&strategy, &sim_config)?;

println!("Mean finish time: {:.2}s", results.mean_finish_time);
println!("P10 time: {:.2}s", results.percentile_10);
println!("P90 time: {:.2}s", results.percentile_90);
println!("DNF probability: {:.1}%", results.dnf_probability * 100.0);

Algorithms

Dynamic Programming Optimization

• Time Complexity: O(n² × m) where n = laps, m = compounds
• Space Complexity: O(n × m)
• Accuracy: Finds globally optimal solution

Monte Carlo Simulation

• Iterations: 1,000 - 100,000 (configurable)
• Variance Modeling: Tire degradation, lap times, incidents
• Output: Mean, median, P10/P90, full distribution

Use Cases

• Race Engineers: Optimize real-time strategy during races
• Strategy Analysts: Pre-race strategy planning and what-if analysis
• Esports: AI-powered strategy for F1 games
• Education: Learn about race strategy optimization algorithms
