State of Charge

**State of Charge** is a high-performance simulation engine that bridges the "Data Vacuum" in Premier single-seater racing broadcasting. While fans do see speed and lap times, the most critical tactical variable—**Battery State of Charge (SoC)**—is a closely guarded team secret. State of Charge uses an **Inverse-Physics Model** based on the 2026 Technical Regulations to reverse-engineer energy flow. By analyzing raw telemetry (throttle, brake, RPM, and speed), we provide fans with a live "Pit Wall" experience that reveals which drivers are harvesting, who is deploying "Manual Override" (MOM), and who is "clipping" at the end of straights. A live or playback race session must be selected. For replay you have to press **play when the lights go out** to sync with the race. The list of drivers is ordered by position, and the main features are the State of Charge, energy mode, Overtake mode and Recovery per lap providing direct insight in overtake capability, a lead of 20% is a good advantage. Pressing a driver creates a focus that includes all drivers within 1 second, but also shows the Blue recovery bar and sector times. The Blue Lap Recovered bar shows the energy strategy of the teams and drivers and differs from pushing early to finding the maximum over the lap or a more competitive strategy. Toggle the gap from “gap to front” to “gap to leader” with the gap toggle below on the right, lapped drivers do not show a time but a lap count in the gap to leader state.
