Features

Push to Pass Indication (by @creagel)

Adds a Push-to-Pass (P2P) indicator so you can see who's using their boost at a glance.

  • New Push-to-Pass column in the Standings and Relative widgets, showing each car's P2P state and remaining time
  • Enable/disable and reorder the column from the widget settings

Controller Button Keybinds (by @pohy)

Any keybinding can now be triggered by a game controller button as well as a keyboard shortcut.

  • When recording a binding, press either a key or a controller button — whichever you press first is used
  • Controller input keeps working even while iRacing has focus, so your shortcuts fire mid-race
  • Supports both regular buttons and d-pad (hat) directions

Per-Widget Show/Hide Hotkeys (by @tariknz)

You can now bind a hotkey to show or hide each individual widget, on top of the existing global hide.

  • Settings → Key Bindings has a new Widget Visibility section listing every widget on your dashboard
  • Each widget gets its own bindable toggle (keyboard or controller), unbound by default
  • Hidden widgets reset to visible on restart, matching how the global hide works

Radio Indicator Improvements (by @tariknz)

The speaker/radio icon in Standings and Relative is now reliable and configurable, so you don't miss who's talking.

  • New "Radio Icon Duration" slider (0–10s, default 3s) keeps the icon lit for a moment after a driver stops transmitting — set it to 0 for the original transmit-only behaviour
  • The icon now stays solidly lit through rapid radio on/off toggling instead of flickering, and clears cleanly once the driver truly stops

Race Distance by Laps and Time + Multiclass Sorting (by @L061N)

  • Race distance now accounts for sessions limited by both lap count and time (e.g. a 35-lap race capped at 15 minutes), giving more accurate lap counts and time estimates
  • Multiclass standings ordering improved — classes are sorted by the pace of their top cars, better handling cases where a nominally "lower" class is actually faster
  • Fuel estimates now use these consolidated race totals for more consistent results

Simple Display Mode for Blind Spot Monitor (by @iainbrux)

Adds a compact Simple mode to the Blind Spot Monitor as an alternative to the full-height bars.

  • Renders small coloured squares on the left/right edges with an optional car-count number
  • Configurable square size and vertical position (top / centre / bottom)
  • Optional colour-by-car-count (e.g. 1 car amber, 2+ cars red, both configurable), or a single fixed colour
  • Indicators hide automatically when no cars are alongside

Bug Fixes

  • Start minimized — with "Start minimized" enabled, the settings window now stays hidden in the system tray on launch instead of opening anyway (by @tariknz)
  • Track wetness overflow — the track wetness state text (e.g. "Very Lightly Wet") no longer overflows the widget box at narrow widths; it now truncates cleanly to fit (by @tariknz)
  • Windows native build (development) — fixed the app failing to build from source on Windows machines with Visual Studio 2026 installed (by @tariknz)
  • CI build pipeline (development) — pinned the build to a working Windows toolchain so release builds compile reliably (by @tariknz)
