Boilerplate
One line. Learn Splunk by replaying a real Formula 1 Grand Prix. SPLap is a free Splunk app that replays the 2025 Italian GP from real telemetry, with the SPL behind every panel. Built on weekends by Lloyd Clark and his daughter Lilli.
Long. SPLap (Motorsport Telemetry Lab) is a free, open-source Splunk app that replays the 2025 Italian Grand Prix inside Splunk from real car telemetry: 20 cars at 3.7 Hz on a circuit map derived from the cars' own GPS, a timing tower with gaps and intervals, lap-versus-lap deltas, incident review, and deterministic race-engineer findings, each with the SPL query that reproduces it. It uses no language model and needs no internet. It was co-developed by Lloyd Clark, founder of Federal AI and an AI PhD, and his daughter Lilli, and was approved on Splunkbase in August 2026. SPLap is an independent, non-commercial project and is not affiliated with Splunk, Cisco, Formula 1 or any team.

Three quotable lines
- "Lilli wanted to see if the timing screen was lying to us. Turns out you can check."
- "Zero searches per animation frame. SPL builds the world, the browser runs it."
- "No language model anywhere. If a number is on screen, you can click Show SPL and reproduce it."
