How to get initial driver race positions?

[locvio]

What's the best way to determine initial race positions? (starting grid)
Documentation for positions says
"Provides driver positions throughout a session, including initial placement and subsequent changes."
but from the data it looks like it is updates only..

I need a sorted list of positions from beginning, and at a given time. If I had easy way to get initial positions can maintain state using position updates..
thanks..

look at the earliest datetime?

The data only has updates when positions change…earliest date time would get you first position change for one driver, I believe..On Nov 23, 2024, at 11:33 PM, Marc Lamy ***@***.***> wrote: look at the earliest datetime? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>
