I am trying to do the same thing! haha I have downloaded that test project and had a play. However the data that gets fed to me the positions stay static while the names are updating either up or down. Its a text source file split into fields that looks like an excel sheet with columns and rows updating every second. i.e in Column 5 each row represents the position, while in column 11 the names are displayed. When they go pass their timing points their name will either move to the correct row depending if a pass was made or not. In this project you need the position to update with the name.
I have worked with APIs before and have been able to search within the datalinq but have had no luck applying those methods to search within this text source or finding ways to search within this specific datalinq.

Subject: Racing results / leaderboard animations
I am currently working on a racing project, and the client has requested a side leaderboard or results page. They are looking for a way to animate the positions changing dynamically. They want the animation to visually represent the movement of positions instead of just instantaneous changes. For example, if the person in 1st place moves to 3rd place, they would like to see 1 slide down and 2 and 3 move up in real-time.
Additionally, they are interested in whether this animation can be triggered by changes in the data feed automatically, without requiring manual updates. I am unsure if this functionality is achievable with Xpression. Any assistance, suggestions, or insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
