Ergast will continue with a new name and new infrastructure, but with the same API. Further announcements will follow some time this summer, including a more publicly announced beta testing phase in the second half of the year. The server itself will be open source, so you should be able to run that locally. The new data ingestion process is still a work in progress and currently being worked on. Therefore, I cannot make any definite statement yet, how you'll be able to populate the local database. But I am confident that a local runtime will be possible without being too difficult to set up. |

That is very good news. Ill keep my eye out door the beta test and focus on other parts of my project for the time being. Thank you for the quick response and the work you (and your team) do here. |

@walker-tx in general, we're always happy about contributors. I've just posted a new announcement regarding the Ergast successor project here: #445 (comment) Over the last few weeks, we were mainly stuck on problems that aren't easily solved by just having more people work on them. But you can have a look at the GitHub repo of the new project and if you see something that you want to work on or where you can offer help, you're always welcome. |
