Spirit of Racing is a single-file HTML motorsport career tracker. Record your race results from a sim racing game and SoR turns them into a living championship — standings, qualifying grids, team dynamics, and (with an API key) a full AI-driven career narrative with emails, goals, and paddock drama.

Everything runs in your browser. No internet required for the core tracker. No account, no server, no installation.

1. Open the HTML file in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari)
2. On the splash screen, select a season and click Enter Season
3. Go to the Career tab — set your Player Name and Driver Slot (the driver whose seat you occupy)
4. Go to Races, open Round 1, and hit Start ▶ to begin

You occupy one driver's seat in the roster. That driver becomes inactive — shown with a 🔴 red dot in the team panel. They still exist in the paddock and may appear in narrative, but they no longer score points.

Your personal points are tracked separately. They travel with you between teams — each team only gets constructor credit for what you score while driving for them.

Active teammates show a 🟢 green dot. The inactive slot driver shows their pre-takeover points for historical reference.

Each round shows a pre-race briefing card when you first click it. Hit Start ▶ to reveal the grid and enter results.

Qualifying grid is generated dynamically each round based on recent form, championship standing, and team strength — with enough variation to keep things interesting. Round 1 is more tier-driven since there's no race history yet.

Weather is shown as a label (Sunny → Storm). Dry conditions are more common than wet.

⚡ Simulate Results auto-fills positions based on qualifying order with noise — useful for rounds you want to move through quickly.

Every driver has a relationship level with you, shown as an emoji in the standings table. Click any emoji to see the label and adjust it manually with ± buttons.

😈 Rival — hostile, cold, pointed. Never cordial.
😤 Tense — clipped, guarded, competitive
😐 Neutral
🙂 Friendly — warmer than average
😊 Ally — genuine support, may share information

Relationships shift automatically as the season unfolds. They carry over between seasons — grudges fade but don't disappear entirely.

Automatic: ~1 second after saving a round, a short manager email arrives with a reaction and goal.

Manual (Check messages): Generates the full batch — teammates, rivals, crew chief, personal assistant, press, sponsors, stewards. The button pulses while generating.

The AI reads your actual standings, nearby rivals, constructor battle, and relationship levels. Relationship levels are mandatory tone modifiers — a Rival will never write a friendly email.

Reset Scores — zeros all race results and grid locks. Keeps inbox, goals, and career data. Also clears briefing flags so the Start button reappears for every round.

Start Over — full wipe including personal scores, inbox, goals, and narrative. Completely fresh.

Team Tiers — set in the Roster editor (1 = fastest, 10 = slowest). A wide spread produces more realistic grids. Bunching teams in the 1–3 range makes grids unpredictable.

SoR uses browser localStorage — data persists between sessions automatically.

⚠️ localStorage is browser and device specific. Clearing browser data will erase your save. Export regularly.

⬇ Export — downloads a dated JSON backup of everything.
⬆ Import — restores from a JSON file, replacing all current data.

Recommended: export after every session. Keep 2–3 recent backups.

🏎 Use a wide tier spread. Try 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 instead of 1–3 for the top teams — it produces grids that reflect real mid-field gaps.

📬 The narrative knows your standings. The AI reads your actual points, position, nearby rivals, and constructor battle. It won't hallucinate historical results.

😈 Let relationships develop. They shift based on racing. Manual nudges are available if you want to make peace — or escalate a grudge.

💾 Export before big changes. Before resetting, switching seasons, or editing the roster, export your save as a backup.
