First race checklist

Rehearse once, then check these before your first race with Race Control.

The basics take minutes. For a big event, set up your procedures and rehearse in a private session days before.

Days before

  • Run a private hosted session with your stewards and agent operators. Open it in Race Control with New session.
  • Start your safety car procedure once and go through every step.
  • Issue a penalty to your own car and revoke it again, so everyone has seen both.
  • Post the driver join link in your Discord, with the driver guide.

On race day, 30 minutes before

  • Agent operators join the session in iRacing and Activate their agents: green icons, self-test passed.
  • On the league’s overview, the Live session card shows the agents, the stewards and the drivers’ screens.
  • Open the driver page on a phone, press Enable sound, and send a short message to everyone to check it arrives.
  • Stewards open race control and check the header: the flag, the session and an executor.

After the race

  • Agent operators choose Sleep.
  • Decide the open cases in the Incidents card, or later on the session’s Incidents page.
  • Close the session on the overview with Close session, so the next race’s session can open.
  • Share the audit log with your drivers if you like.
