Worked out of the box for me!
Some minor nitpicks:
- In lap 1 the speed heatmap seemed to be ahead of the race leader, I'm not sure why exactly.
- Really love the SQL subpage. Nice way to show what's actually going on below the hood. The discriptions seem to mention some stuff about bugs that were fixed or limitations that don't apply anymore, though?

Is that true? drs_open seems to be happening in the GUI?

We probably can drop this? Seems like an artifact of an earlier discussion with claude?

what's the context of the DISTINCT ON shortcut mentioned?

Also seems like an internal discussion artifact?

This demo works via Docker, sets up a CedarDB instance and a couple of Go programs which simulate data for a F1 race and provide a GUI with dashboard views of how the race evolves along with a link to view the SQL queries being run to power the demo.
