Terms of use

Last updated: 11 November 2026

1. Who we are

PaceLaps is provided by Christopher Monje, a sole proprietorship in Germany (see the imprint). These terms apply to PaceLaps Race Control and the PaceLaps agent. Questions: support@pacelaps.com.

2. Early access

  • Race Control is in early access. Features change, and some are still being built.
  • Race Control is free while in early access. Later there will be paid plans for different league sizes. We'll announce them well before they apply.
  • We work to keep Race Control available, but during early access we can't promise it will be available at all times. Whether it works right now is shown atstatus.pacelaps.com.

3. Accounts and leagues

  • Stewards and league admins sign in with Discord. Keep your Discord account safe; what's done with it in Race Control counts as done by you.
  • Each iRacing league id can be registered once. Only register a league you run, or with its owners' agreement. If someone registered your league, write to us and we'll sort it out. We may remove registrations that break these terms.
  • League admins decide who joins their league as a steward and are responsible for the data they add, such as rosters.

4. Using Race Control

  • Follow iRacing's terms of use and your league's rules. PaceLaps doesn't change them, and you remain responsible for how you run your sessions.
  • Don't misuse the service: no attacks, no attempts to get at other leagues' data, no automated load beyond normal use, and no offensive messages to drivers.
  • Race calls, penalties and other decisions are made by your stewards. PaceLaps delivers them; it doesn't make them.

5. The agent

  • The agent runs on your PC. It reads the iRacing session and types admin commands into the iRacing chat when race control sends them. You decide when it runs, and you can stop it at any time.
  • The agent is free software under the GNU General Public License version 3. You may use, study, change and share it under that licence. Its source code is on GitHub.
  • We support the official builds from pacelaps.com/download; check their checksum. If you connect a changed agent to Race Control, these terms still apply to how you use Race Control, and you are responsible for what that agent does in your sessions.

6. Liability

We are liable without limit for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are liable only when an essential obligation is breached, and only for the typical, foreseeable damage. Liability under the German Product Liability Act is not affected.

7. iRacing

PaceLaps is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC. iRacing is their trademark.

8. Ending

You can stop using Race Control at any time and delete your account yourself, or ask us to. We can end the service or your access with reasonable notice, or at once if these terms are seriously broken.

9. Changes and law

  • We announce changes to these terms before they apply. If you keep using Race Control after that, the new terms apply.
  • German law applies. If you're a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection of the country you live in stays in force.
