1000x1500 PNGs composed with Pillow + cairosvg:
checkered-flag strips top/bottom, F1 wordmark, round/year ribbon,
GP name, rasterised track outline (white), race date. Season poster
is wordmark + giant year + 'WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP'. Cached under
cache/posters/ so cold renders happen once.
Indianapolis oval layout uses real OSM centerline data for the
2.5-mile oval used in the F1 championship from 1950-1960.
Madring is the new Madrid circuit for the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix,
track path extracted from Wikimedia SVG.
FastF1's get_event() couldn't resolve several grand prix names
(Qatar, Brazilian, Mexican, Barcelona), causing 500/404 errors.
Now uses Jolpica's race schedule directly — slugifies circuitName
to match against circuits.json with ASCII fallback for unicode.
Dataclass models have parent back-references (TrackLayout→Circuit→
Locality→Country) causing infinite recursion in dataclasses.asdict().
Add to_dict() methods that exclude parent refs, use them in API endpoints.
