🙏 Contributing

Feel free to submit updates/PRs for this source plugin. It's still very basic and could be expanded to include a lot more control over the data pulled from Ergast.

Notes:

Inline with the request from Ergast to keep calls to a minimum, Gatsby will call the API to reqest data at build-time. The slight downside being that you'll need to manually build the site (or feel free to make a webhook) after a race meeting, to ensure the results/standings and times are all up to date.

If this is something i end up creating, i'll update the plugin readme to reflect this.
