Calculate total driving time from a stint
Hia there!
I was wondering, is it possible to calculate the amount of time a driver sits in a current driving session?
For example, during the iracing 24h of le mans, i did 4 consecutive stints. Is there a way to display that driving time as a total using a script?
Note: I haven't played yet with the script editor as of yet. Just asking around at first to see if this idea is possible.

We do track the start and end time for each pitstop I believe so from that we could give you the total elapsed time. But this info is not exposed to you so you can't get to it. I can see if I can update the SDK to include it.
Another way would be to keep track yourself with a script that is constantly running and tracks when a driver change happened. If you just store the local time when a swap happens you can calculate the elapsed time every update.

What do you mean with "code a timer"?
You can manipulate a Timer item in your theme (start it, stop it, etc).
Or you can make your script use timing functions by what I said previously: store the current date/time on a certain event and then read it back when appropriate and calculate the delta.

The result object (IEntitySessionResult) has four properties regarding pit lane and box entry and exit times:
PitLaneEntryTime, PitLaneExitTime, PitStopStartTime, PitStopEndTime
PitLane means entry and exit of the pit lane, while PitStop means the actual stopping in the box. The values indicate the session time at which each event happened in seconds, so if you somehow track these and take a delta you get the time in seconds since the last pitstop.
It is still a bit tricky to calculate total stint time from this. I'll see if I can make that easier.
I added new properties for total stint duration for each driver. This should make it into a future update relatively soon (pending some other changes). It will give you the start and end sessiontime of the current (or last) stint of each driver, as well as the duration. This is a property on the driver, not on the result level (since a result is valid for an entry/car and not specific to a driver). It still needs some work for handling session changes (it should count the start of the race session, not the start of the practice for example) but I think I can fix that.

Thank you so much! :D
