Features
Heart Rate Widget — HypeRate (by @ziadkadry99)
A new Heart Rate overlay shows your live heart rate from HypeRate — no API key or account needed.
- Just enter your HypeRate session id (the code from your share link) and you're up and running
- Optionally paste any HypeRate widget/theme link, or just its name, to choose how the heart rate is displayed
- Transparent background with no scrollbars, so it sits cleanly over your other overlays and works as an OBS browser source
- Auto-fits and scales the graphic to the widget size when you resize
- Stays visible even when iRacing isn't running
Corner Name Overlay (by @shipitsteven)
A new Corner Name overlay tells you exactly where you are on track as you drive.
- Shows the current track section name (e.g. "Eau Rouge", "Kemmel Straight", "La Source")
- Displays a corner-number badge (T1, T12) for numbered turns
- A progress bar shows how far through the current section you are, with an optional lap-distance percentage
- Adjustable font size, opacity, display toggles, and session-visibility settings
- Covers 131 iRacing tracks out of the box (track data thanks to the lovely-track-data project)
- Disabled by default — enable it from the settings menu

Personal Best Lap Times (by @spikethedog78)
The Lap Time widget can now track your personal best lap, saved per car and track.
- Your personal best is stored on disk and remembered across sessions, per car/track combination
- New toggle in settings to show or hide the personal best alongside the session best
- Lap history now keeps the last 20 laps (up from 10)
Bug Fixes
- Lap Time widget — fixed an issue where the lap time prediction was accidentally omitted in the last release
- Track map previews — fixed a development-only crash where track map Storybook previews failed to render after a recent change to live position handling (by @tariknz)
