Originally forked from jfritz and updated to work in Python 3, because I had issues when trying to use it as it was.

A simple discord bot to post F1 events using webhooks.

This script is designed to be run every 12 hours.

Mondays - Send a message with the full next race weekend

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays - Send a message with events that will occur in the next 24h (if any)

You will need a number of pip packages:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Add your discord webhook url to webhook_url.conf

Configure a crontab (Example set for 8am/pm):

0 8,20 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/main.py > /path/to/bot.log

Source calendars from F1Calendar and ensure they match the following naming format: formula.1.YEAR.ics

• Look into updating this project to make use of the Discord Webhook package
• Find a more robust way of using only the output of F1Calendar without having to edit each event to include an extra string
• Look into contributing other calendars to SportsTimes repo and adding functionality for the script to send info about other race series
• Attempt to calculate broadcast times for SkySports F1
