Full detail for a single race — series, season, round, status, dates, winner, circuit (motorsport: name, city, country, lap length), host country, laps and distance, and category (cycling) — plus its sessions in start-time order.

Each session carries its type, status, start time, laps, distance, winner, weather, track condition, temperatures and safety car, plus the stage’s towns and profile (cycling).

Worth knowing

  • startDate / endDate are UTC dates, whereas sessions have exact timestamps.
  • winner refers to the main race — for a cycling stage race, the general classification — and is filled once it has finished.
  • circuit.lengthMeters and distanceMeters are provided for Formula 1 and NASCAR, converted from miles where needed; MotoGP has laps only, because our data source keeps no circuit length or race distance for it.
  • A race with no laps / distance of its own inherits those of the main race session.

01Parameters

    race id issued by DataSportsAPI, a positive integer

04Errors

  • 403history_not_in_plan

    your plan’s history does not reach back to the race’s start

  • 404not_found

    the id is not a race id (season and session ids are rejected too)

  • 404no_data

    this is a duplicate that our data source files under a second series but never runs (NASCAR Cup); error.series, and error.race when a match is found, identify the genuine series and race
