Fully automatic
Session results are imported, every prediction is scored, and league standings update without anyone lifting a finger. No more weekend admin shifts or forgotten scoring rounds.
Built by a fan, for fans
I got tired of scoring predictions in a spreadsheet.
Every race weekend it was the same routine: collect everyone's picks over email, watch the session, manually score ten people's predictions in Excel, update the standings file, and send it back to the group. If I forgot a weekend, the whole thing fell apart. Podium Prophets exists because none of that should be manual — and the project has since grown into four lanes for everyone who watches F1: predictors, data nerds, the meme crowd, and collectors.
Origin
I'm a single developer and an F1 fan. My friend group ran predictions over email chains with a shared Excel file. I built Podium Prophets to automate the scoring, and the project outgrew our group — so now it's open to everyone, with separate lanes for serious predictors, data-driven analysts, the chaos meme crowd, and card collectors.
Mission
Make everything automatic for everyone in the group. Results come in, scores update, standings refresh, and nobody volunteers as the scorer. The same data also powers free embeddable widgets, so journalists, F1 bloggers, and publishers can drop race-pace, long-run, and team-pace charts into their own articles with a single iframe.
Why this instead of a spreadsheet
All data, one place
Lap times, session results, driver context, telemetry compares, race-pace and long-run analysis, circuit intelligence — all here. You don't need to tab between five different sites to make an informed pick.
Your league, your rules
Private leagues with invite links, per-league scoring rules your leader can tune, built-in leaderboards, and per-session breakdowns. Chaos Mode adds a separate meme championship for the calls the FIA can't score. Native iOS and Android apps plus the full collectible card system land in Q2 2026.
FAQ
Is Podium Prophets free?
The core experience - predictions, automatic scoring, leagues, leaderboards, and championship tracking - is free and will stay free. This started as a passion project and the fundamentals will always be accessible to everyone.
Who is this built for?
Four kinds of F1 fans. Predictors running pick'ems in a group chat, Discord server, email chain, or shared spreadsheet — if your group argues about who picked what and nobody wants to score it manually, start here. Data nerds who want race pace, long runs, telemetry compares, and circuit intelligence baked into the prediction flow. The meme crowd voting on chaotic community questions in Chaos Mode. And collectors chasing driver, circuit, moment, and radio cards — helmets are live, the full card system unlocks Q2 2026.
Do I need a full league to start?
No. Create a league, invite a couple of friends with a link, and start predicting. You can add more people any time during the season.
Ditch the spreadsheet.
Create a league, invite your group, and let the app handle scoring, standings, and data. You just predict.
