In the race

Everything a race engineer would tell you, on your screen.

A car in your blind spot, fuel to the finish, a wet track — it's all there without taking your eyes off the apex.

Pacelense widgets over the game in a night race in the rain: standings, relative, the rejoin helper — HOLD and a GT3 4 seconds behind, wind, delta −0.11, weather — very wet with 80% rain, telemetry, the pit assistant and the fuel calculator — enough for 2.8 laps

Race engineerrejoinHold, GT3 behind — here in 4 seconds.

Hide the widgets with one button

Taking a screenshot, watching a replay, or just want the track? One press hides every widget, another brings them back exactly as they were.

Arrange the widgets right in the sim

Unlock the widgets with the padlock, drag them where you want, and lock them again. No need to leave the sim, and the layout is remembered.

Switch to spotter mode

Need the whole picture? One press and the table scrolls through every car and adds the columns an engineer watches. Press again to get back to racing.

The Standings widget in a two-class race: GTP leaders on top, then your GT3 class with its leaders and the cars around you

Driver names in this screenshot have been changed, along with their numbers, ratings, and countries.

Standings

The running order, grouped by class

More than just positions: see who is in the pits, who is on an out-lap, who holds the class best lap, who is a lap ahead — and much more.

More about it
The Relative widget: three cars ahead and three behind on track, with the time to each in seconds; two GTP cars a lap ahead are shown in red

Driver names in this screenshot have been changed, along with their numbers, ratings, and countries.

Relative

Who is catching you, and who you are catching

Your neighbors on track, not in the table: the cars that will show up in your mirrors or ahead of you in the next few seconds. And for each of them, the same choice of columns as in the standings.

More about it
The Radar widget: a car side by side on the left, the arcs on that side red

Radar

Side by side, with no surprises: you always know where the other car is

It shows what your mirrors don't: a car in your blind spot. Red means side by side, amber means close but not alongside yet.

More about it
The Telemetry widget under braking: the brake line amber where ABS worked and the ABS indicator lit; brake bias, gear, speed and the delta beside it

Telemetry

Throttle and brake as live graphs

See how you work the pedals: whether you release the brake smoothly, how you feed in the throttle through the corner, and where ABS stepped in.

More about it
The Delta widget: half a second up on the session best, the bar and the first sector green

Delta

Your time against a reference lap

Shows whether you're faster or slower than your reference lap, and which sector you lost time in. Switch the reference with one key or a wheel button, right on the move.

More about it
The Fuel calculator widget: 35 liters of 110, enough for 8 laps, nothing to add; 4.40 liters per lap

Fuel calculator

Laps left in the tank, and how much to add

All your fuel numbers in one place: how many laps it will last, how much to add at the stop, the last lap's use and the average.

More about it
The Pit assistant widget in the box: service under way, the front tires done and the rears being changed, 15.0 liters going in for 35.3; on the left, time in the pit lane, in the box and for the optional repair

Pit assistant

Everything you need to know about your pit stop

Your whole pit stop on one screen: how far to your box and whether you're over the limit, what the crew will do and what's already done, and how much time the stop cost you.

More about it
The Wind widget: wind from ahead and to the left, 25 km/h

Wind

Where the wind is coming from, and how strong

Shows where the wind is coming from relative to your car. On a long straight, a headwind can cost you tenths.

More about it
The Weather widget: track 43.9° and cooling, air 26.8°, dry, no rain, the DRY hint

Weather

Temperatures, rain and the state of the track

Track and air temperature, whether it's raining and how wet the track is. And an arrow tells you whether it's warming up or cooling down.

More about it
The Notifications widget: two amber lines — INCIDENT +1x and BOX BOX

Notifications

Box calls, incidents and the rest of the race news, right on time

All the important messages in one place: a new line always appears at the bottom, so your eye knows where to look. No messages, no widget.

More about it
The Rejoin helper widget: a red striped frame and HOLD, car #7 GT3 behind, 2.4 s away

Rejoin helper

Tells you when it's safe to rejoin after a spin

Spun off? It tells you whether to wait or go: HOLD while a car is about to reach your spot, CLEAR when the way is free.

More about it
The Radar bar widget: cars on both sides — the left one slightly behind, the right one slightly ahead, both bars almost entirely amber

Radar bar

Who's alongside, and how far up they've drawn

Shows not just that someone is alongside, but how far up they are: the bar at that side fills along the part of your car they cover.

More about it
The Flags widget: the checkered flag

Flags

What race control is telling you

Just the flag, no words: you notice a color faster than you read. No flag, no widget — so its appearing is the signal itself.

More about it
The Spotter signals widget: two lamps, the right one lit amber — a car on the right

Spotter signals

A light when somebody is beside, in front or behind

Lights at the edges of the screen come on when someone is beside you, in front or behind. You catch them out of the corner of your eye without taking your eyes off the apex.

More about it
The Lap log widget: the best lap, 2:23.200 on lap 7, in green; lap 8 marked 2x

Lap log

Your lap times this session, the best one on top

Every lap of this session in one list, newest on top, with your best and your average above it. You can tell at a glance whether you're getting faster.

More about it
The Revs widget accelerating: first gear, 7580 rpm, 106 km/h, five of ten lights on

Revs

Gear, revs, speed and shift lights

Gear, revs and speed, big and in plain sight. When it's time to shift, the lights tell you.

More about it
The Session info widget: a race at Spa, 5:16 left in the session, lap five of about seven, 13:21 on your clock, 12:00 at the track

Session info

Time to the flag, which lap, and what time it is

All the useful session info in front of you: how long to the flag, which lap you're on, and what time it is.

More about it
The G-force widget in a right-hander: 1.9 g sideways and 0.2 g accelerating, the lap's trace around the rings

G-force

Cornering, braking and acceleration in g

Shows how hard the car is working in the corners, under braking and on the throttle. The diagram shows how much you took from the car over the lap.

More about it
The Twitch chat widget: channel yourchannel connected, five viewer messages; the last one asks the streamer how many laps are left and is highlighted

Twitch chat

Your channel's chat right over the sim

Streaming your races? Your channel's chat sits right over the game: you see what viewers write without a second monitor.

More about it
The Widget board widget: the ones that are on as amber tiles, the ones that are off in gray

Widget board

Switch any widget on or off without leaving the game

All your widgets as tiles on one board: click a tile to switch a widget on or off without leaving the game.
