Production

American open-wheel racing on the MotorsportVerse core, built snapshot-first: fifteen seasons of hand-verified historical data are the committed source of truth, and live updates land only behind strict parse-validation gates. The model's signature is a dual rating system that scores oval and road/street ability separately - validated to materially beat a single rating in walk-forward testing - alongside attrition modeling tuned to oval risk and Chevrolet/Honda engine effects. Covers the full 2026 season including the Indianapolis 500's 33-car field. Deployed site, scheduled refresh pipeline, and public forward-eval grading every round.
