Formula 1 Race Simulation

Simulation research prototype · repository link coming soon if public

Although not a robotics project, the simulation is relevant to the portfolio because it demonstrates uncertainty-aware modelling, reproducibility, and decision analysis.

Abstract

Use race simulation as a clean, explainable environment for modelling strategy, uncertainty, event timing, and reproducible experiments.

Scientific question: How can simulation environments support disciplined experimentation under uncertainty?

Contribution: A simulation-oriented project that demonstrates reproducible modelling, scenario design, and decision analysis.

Research questions

  • How do scenario assumptions affect race outcome distributions?
  • How should strategy uncertainty be visualized?
  • Which simulation design choices improve reproducibility?

Implementation status

Implemented

  • Simulation framing
  • Portfolio integration

Research prototype

  • Scenario analysis concept

Planned

  • Public repository link if available
  • Reproducible notebooks
  • Sensitivity plots

Experiments and metrics

Experiments

  • Planned strategy-sensitivity analysis

Metrics

  • outcome distribution — planned
  • scenario sensitivity — planned

Quantitative benchmark tables will be added only after reproducible experiments are available.

Limitations

  • Repository link and validated results are not shown unless made public.
  • Quantitative claims are intentionally withheld until reproducible benchmark runs are available.
  • Visual figures and GIFs are placeholders unless a project page explicitly states that an artifact is generated from real experiments.

Reproducibility plan

Experiment workflow

Each module is prepared to document configuration files, datasets, evaluation metrics, and repeated experiment runs before quantitative claims are shown.

Repository setup

Public repositories are linked when available. Private, planned, or incomplete repositories remain clearly labelled rather than being presented as finished systems.
