INSIDE GRID CENTRAL · BETA 0.5.9.2

SEE THE PIT WALL.

These are real screens from the current beta: your session, your laps, your fuel plan, your setup and your stream, all in one app on your PC.

01 · RACE CONTROL

YOUR SESSION AT A GLANCE.

Climb out of the car and the debrief is already waiting. When iRacing isn't live, Race control shows your last session.

  • iRacing's own track map with every corner, plus best lap, race pace, consistency and clean laps
  • Your iRating and safety rating over time, and your recent races
  • A written debrief from your engineer: pace against last time, where you lose the most and what to work on next
RACE CONTROLREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central Race control screen showing the last session at Road Atlanta: a track map with numbered corners, best lap 1:29.394, a lap time chart for the last five laps, and iRating and safety rating charts with recent race results.
02 · AI SPOTTER

EYES ON BOTH MIRRORS.

Your spotter calls cars alongside, flags and trouble ahead, so you keep your eyes on the apex.

  • A live radar with cars where they really are: watch one creep up from your rear wheel to level with you
  • Car numbers and class colours, the gaps ahead and behind and whether they're closing
  • Proximity view for a big radar, or Pit wall view beside the relative timing
AI SPOTTER · LIVE RADARREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central AI spotter screen: a top-down live radar around your car with distance rings, the current spotter call, gaps to the cars ahead and behind, and the call log.
03 · LAP COACHING

EVERY CORNER, COACHED.

Each corner is compared with your best time through it from all your clean laps, so even your best lap gets coached where another lap was quicker.

  • A target corner from your last lap: what it cost and what to change next time through
  • Braking, turn-in, apex speed and exit speed, with the biggest cause first and one "Also:" when something else cost time too
  • Grip in reserve: a hint where the car has already shown it can carry more speed
CORNER-BY-CORNER COACHINGREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central corner-by-corner coaching: a target corner from the last lap (Turn 9, exit speed 8 km/h down) and a ranked list of corners with the time lost in each and what to change, plus a grip in reserve hint.
04 · PROGRESS

WATCH YOURSELF GET FASTER.

Every session is kept, so you can see the trend, not just today's best lap.

  • Best lap, race pace and consistency for every session, charted over time
  • The corners that keep costing you time, and the ones you've fixed
  • Race events on the track map: incidents, flags and your hotspots from the last 30 days
SESSION HISTORYREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central session history: a chart of best lap and race pace per session, and a table of sessions with laps, best lap, race pace and consistency.
RACE EVENTSREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central race events: incident hotspots from the last 30 days, a track map marking where incidents and flags happened, and a list of events by lap and corner.
05 · COMPARE LAPS

LAY LAPS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

Time gap, speed, throttle, brake, steering and gear, trace on trace. Then the sector table and the track map show exactly where each lap was quicker or slower.

  • Load laps from iRacing's telemetry files (.ibt)
  • Share laps with friends as .gclap files and coach against theirs
  • Download reference laps from the online lap library
LAP DATA · COMPAREREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central Compare laps screen: a list of saved laps on the left and stacked traces for time gap, speed, throttle, brake, steering and gear comparing a reference lap with two other laps.
SECTORSREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central sector view: a track map coloured green where a lap was quicker and red where it was slower, beside a table of ten sector times against the reference.
06 · RACE STRATEGY

THE PIT PLAN BEFORE THE GREEN FLAG.

Press Fill from iRacing and the planner reads your car, the track, your fuel use and your pit lane loss. It works out the stops, then keeps watch on the cars around you.

  • The lap to box, the pit window, fuel to add, tyres and stop time, or no stop at all when the fuel goes the distance
  • A fuel-saving plan when saving could drop a stop
  • Rivals' strategy: every car's stops recorded and its next stop predicted, with a call when there's an undercut or overcut to go for
  • In the race your engineer calls it: "Pit window is open", "Box this lap, add 42 litres"
RACE PLANNERREAL BETA SCREEN

PLANSREAL BETA SCREEN

RIVALS' STRATEGY · LIVEREAL BETA SCREEN

07 · RACE SETUP

TELL IT WHAT THE CAR IS DOING.

Pick the problem, or just tell your engineer "it's understeering on entry". You get the garage changes to try for your car, with what each one is set to now.

  • Checks your last laps for where the car really understeers or oversteers
  • A testing log: drive 3 clean laps either side of a change and see if it was faster, and where
  • Your setups per car and track, with pace, consistency and fuel use for each
SETUP ADVISORREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central Setup advisor: buttons for understeer, oversteer and other handling problems, a setup performance table for Oulton Park, and the setup manager.
08 · RACE OVERLAY

DESIGN YOUR OWN OVERLAY.

Start from a template or build from widgets. Drag, resize, change the colours, and OBS updates as you edit.

  • Widgets for speed and gear, delta, fuel, strategy, relative, standings, battles, damage, tyres and more
  • An in-game overlay on top of iRacing while you drive. Clicks pass straight through it
  • Ultrawide ready: 21:9, 32:9 or your exact screen
OVERLAY DESIGNERREAL BETA SCREEN
Grid Central Race overlay designer: an ultrawide preview with HUD widgets placed around the screen, in-game overlay controls, and a panel of widgets to add.
09 · BROADCAST

TWO VOICES IN THE BOOTH.

A lead calls the action and an analyst tells the story around it. Your viewers hear them through OBS; you don't hear them at all.

  • Passes, offs, battles and pit stops called when and where they happen
  • Natural AI voices made on your PC, no internet needed after a one-time download
  • Stream through OBS to Twitch or YouTube, with setup guides in the app
