API to develop AI drivers and to log online sensor data

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your work on the Re-Volt.
A little mod that I think will have a great impact could be the exposition via API of same online racing data during the game.
I have in mind something similar to TORCS, where you can develop your own computer-controlled driver. For example, see:
http://torcs.sourceforge.net/
https://yanpanlau.github.io/2016/10/11/Torcs-Keras.html
https://github.com/ucbdrive/pyTORCS

I think it needs only to expose via UDP or similar some sensor data like car speed, distance travelled, position on the track, lateral acceleration, online rendering, some game-event and so on.
It would be great to access to those data during the raceplay and use that to instruct a more complex AI.
Otherwise, you can use it to monitor the different driving style of the players from a closer point of view.
Thanks again for your excellent work.
