Drivers

Follow race control's calls on a phone, tablet, second screen or stream overlay.

You see race control’s calls at the same moment as every other driver. No account needed.

Join

  1. Open the driver join link your league shared, or go to app.pacelaps.com/join and enter the league’s iRacing league id.
  2. Choose how you join:
    • My car number
    • My iRacing customer id: Race Control finds your car in the session.
    • Spectator: everything that goes to everyone, without a car of your own.

Join as a driver: the league id, then your car number, your iRacing customer id or spectator.

The device stays joined. Switch car or league on your driver page.

In a team race, every driver of the team joins with the car number.

Your driver page

  • Race control: the calls with a sound, the flag, the lap or time left, the running order, a track map and lap times. Arrange the cards as you like.
  • Penalty catalog: what each penalty means.
  • Results: each session’s results with the penalties applied, by car number. Shown when your league makes its audit log public.
  • Audit log: race control’s decisions, if your league makes it public. You can check a downloaded log.

The driver page on a phone: the Code 60 call, your car and the track map.

Turn the sound on once. Browsers only play sound after you’ve clicked the page.

Overlays

Your driver page has overlay URLs for OBS or any tool that shows a web page.

Overlay Shows
Banner The calls and your own penalties, with sound.
Target Where your car belongs behind the safety car.
Audit The league’s audit log.
Full page The whole driver page.

Your driver page: the overlay URLs for the banner, target, audit and full page, each with Copy.

Pick Transparent and a theme, then copy the URLs into your overlay software.

Your URLs stay on your driver page. New overlay URLs makes new ones and turns the old ones off. Turn off stops all four until you make new ones.

Keep your URLs to yourself. Anyone with one sees your car’s calls. If one leaks, make new ones: every overlay that uses an old URL stops working, so paste the new ones in.

Good to know

  • A black flag penalty appears in iRacing first, then the banner.
  • On mobile data, the driver page uses up to about 10 MB in a 60-minute race with a full field.
  • Race Control shows car numbers, never names.
