The product

What it is

Pit Crew is a free, browser-first fantasy motorsport app. Friends and communities create private leagues, predict each race podium, and compete across a full season.

The audience

Who it is for

Motorsport fans who want a lightweight competition with friends — no sprawling team budgets, no app-store install, and no gambling mechanics.

The reason

Why I built it

I wanted a prediction game that takes a few minutes before each race, rather than another season-long management chore. Pit Crew turns that simple race-day ritual into a product friends can play together.

Current status

Shipped, then improved

The product is live and actively evolving. That means architecture, accessibility, security, performance, and product feedback are real constraints rather than hypothetical exercises.

Under the bonnet

A pragmatic product stack.

A mobile-first Angular application backed by Firebase services, with Cloudflare supporting its public web and discovery surface.

Frontend

Angular provides the application structure and responsive PWA experience across mobile and desktop.

Product data

Firebase and Firestore support accounts, leagues, predictions, race data, and standings.

Delivery

Cloudflare supports the fast public-facing surface, while the product remains browser-first and install-optional.

Lessons so far

Shipping creates better questions.

  • Deadline and scoring rules need to be clearer than the code implementing them.
  • Mobile race-weekend use rewards short paths and obvious state over feature density.
  • Security belongs in server-enforced data rules, not only in route guards and UI states.
  • A real season exposes operational edge cases that a demo dataset never will.
