Features

Broadcast Overlays (by @estem8 )

Five new widgets bring TV-style race coverage to iRacing streams, each with its own OBS Browser Source.

Timing Tower: Choose IMSA, WEC or F1 themes, add a series logo, and rotate between intervals, position changes, pit and tyre information, with starting-grid and camera-car displays.
Ticker: Scroll through standings, fastest laps and leading cars by manufacturer.
Events: Show race-control cards for incidents, flags, fastest laps, pit stops and penalties.
Weather: Display a card when rain, track wetness or track temperature changes.
Podium: Show the top three in each class after the checkered flag, as steps or trophies.
Configure all five modules on one Broadcast page with live previews, shared transitions, reset controls and individual show/hide shortcuts.

Le Mans Ultimate (Beta) (by @Foribald)

Availability depends on the widget, car and session, and some values are estimated or unavailable.

LMU now supports Delta Speed, Lap Timer, Garage Cover, Weather, Sector Delta and Shift Light.
Show LMU rank plates, achievement badges, nationality flags, actual car numbers and team names in Standings and Relative, where available.
Add tyre compounds, track-limit points, virtual energy and drive-through, stop-go or time-penalty badges; virtual energy falls back to fuel for cars without energy limits.
Overlays follow the car selected by the LMU camera.

LMU setup, supported widgets and current limitations

Setup: Enable Settings > Gameplay > Enable Plugins in LMU, restart the simulator and load into a session; select Le Mans Ultimate in irDashies General settings if Auto chooses another running simulator.
Supported overlays: Standings, Relative, Input, Lap Trace, Pitlane Helper, Corner Names, Battle, Flag, Information Bar, Delta Speed, Lap Timer, Garage Cover, Weather, Sector Delta and Shift Light; Telemetry Inspector is also available for diagnostics.
Unavailable widgets: Other widgets remain unsupported, including Fuel Calculator, both track maps, Radar, Gantry, Car Systems, Tachometer, Wind, Stream Chat and the Broadcast suite.
Sector timing: Sector Delta divides the lap into thirds, which may differ from LMU's official sector lines.
Shift points: GT3 and LMP2 use supplied shift-point data, while other classes use 95% of the rev limit; custom points can be saved for the current car model, and cues stay off in top gear, while braking or off throttle.
Weather: LMU simulates no wind, so Weather omits wind and session bars show it as unavailable; track rubber displays N/A and humidity remains unavailable.
Driver data: Ranks and badges depend on the rating service, and some information may arrive later or remain blank; iRacing incident counts are unavailable.
Lap Trace: Invalidated LMU laps are now rejected as references, but recording still needs your own car's telemetry; imports accept iRacing .ibt and Garage 61 CSV files, with no native LMU telemetry-file import.
Positions and pits: Lap positions remain estimated between updates, and Pitlane Helper uses a fixed 60 km/h limit.
Replays: LMU in-game replays still lack iRacing's replay-aware handling; LMU recording and playback tools are development tools.

Widget Scaling (by @tariknz)

Scale each widget's content from 50% to 200% without changing its saved layout size, including desktop overlays, browser sources and Gantry panels. Copies of a widget can use different scales, and existing Standings scales are carried over.

Individual Overlay Windows (Experimental) (by @tariknz)

Enable General > Individual Overlay Windows (Experimental) to give each locked widget its own window and allow it to span monitors. Edit Layout temporarily returns to shared display windows.

Switching modes resets local chart history and any Lap Trace recording in progress. Shared display windows remain the default; early development measurements used more CPU and memory with individual windows and did not establish an FPS improvement.

Fuel History Table (by @tariknz)

Choose Fuel History > Display > Table to show 1 to 50 completed laps from the current session, newest first, with five selected by default. Fuel used is shown to two decimal places in litres or gallons, starting with your first completed lap.

Existing dashboards keep their current graph display.

Standings Appearance and Lap Intervals (by @MaegawaDaichi)

Adjust driver-row backgrounds and your player highlight independently of the overall widget background.
Choose Laps When Lapped to show whole-lap differences to the preceding car in class, including in final results; Time remains the default.

Gantry (by @23Kev)

Choose the built-in Gantry table, reuse your overlay's Standings settings, or create a separate Gantry-only standings layout. Overlay-style views retain camera selection, followed-driver highlighting and final results after the session ends.

Fit the graph to the player and pinned drivers, or include all drivers, so a car far behind no longer compresses the close battles. An optional gap cap limits the displayed range, while off-scale cars remain visible at the edge with their true values available on hover.

Stream Chat (by @creagel)

Twitch Chat becomes Stream Chat, combining Twitch and YouTube messages in one overlay with optional platform icons. Enter a YouTube channel handle such as @channelname to connect while it is live; existing Twitch layouts and settings are carried over.

YouTube currently displays ordinary chat messages, excluding paid items such as Super Chats.

Other Improvements

Select Standings > Display > Gap Reference > Player to see negative gaps to cars ahead, positive gaps to cars behind and zero for your car; while spectating, gaps follow the camera car. Class Leader remains the default, and intervals keep their separate meaning. Race gaps are position-based estimates, while practice and qualifying compare best laps. (by @tariknz)
When a lap cannot become a reference, Lap Trace now explains why instead of continuing a progress bar that ends without saving. Messages cover out-laps, joining mid-lap, pit entry, off-tracks, incidents, spins, resets, interrupted recording and simulator-invalidated LMU laps. (by @Foribald)
Optionally flash the gear number in Input on upshifts and downshifts, with separate configurable colours. The effect is off by default and still recognises shifts that pass through neutral. (by @estem8)
Radar now uses a pole side for each track's pace formation. Bind Radar: Flip Pole Side to correct the current track and remember the choice, with a separate correction for standing starts. (by @estem8)
Reset the current track's learned pit entry and exit from Pitlane Helper > Calibration, leaving other tracks intact. Desktop Settings can also open the calibration file for editing and reload validated changes; learning pauses while you edit and resumes after a successful reload. (by @tariknz)
Add Fuel Level, Last Lap, Best Lap, Top Speed, Manufacturer Position and Class Rank to the Information Bar. All six are optional and disabled by default. (by @tariknz)
Optionally show humidity in Standings and Relative headers or footers and the Information Bar. 0% readings display correctly in iRacing; unavailable LMU humidity is omitted. (by @tariknz)
Read the notes for your installed version directly in Settings, with a New badge for unread notes and an optional dialog after upgrades. First installs do not trigger the upgrade dialog, and previously fetched notes remain available offline. (by @tariknz)
Enable or disable widgets directly from the Settings menu, with copied instances reflected in each switch and new settings defaults filled in across saved profiles. (by @estem8 and @tariknz)
Unsupported widgets stay hidden by default, with a hidden-widget button to inspect them. (by @estem8 and @tariknz)
Expand the website's interactive preview to fill your browser, then press Escape to return. (by @estem8 and @tariknz)
When analytics is enabled, changes to saved pit-lane calibrations and Radar pole-side corrections are shared to help improve track data; the About page explains what is collected, and analytics opt-out is respected. (by @tariknz and @estem8)

Performance

Restore intended iRacing update rates for timing, standings and other calculations, reducing unnecessary processing without a demonstrated app-wide FPS gain.
Avoid preparing unused Telemetry Inspector data for ordinary browser and OBS clients.
Reduce repeated trace-buffer creation and pedal-bar layout work in Input while preserving input precision; game FPS gains have not been measured.
Load the current track's drawing as needed instead of loading the entire collection upfront.
Keep more layout and drawing work local to each widget; Windows GPU and FPS gains remain unmeasured.

Bug Fixes

Correct mirrored or unstable Radar formation columns, improve oval handling and spotter-side placement, reduce false crash warnings for slower classes, and keep closing-speed response consistent across update rates. (by @estem8)
Use recorded start/finish crossings for Battle’s Prev gaps; Delta still depends on estimated live gaps, and Prev/Delta are unavailable in replays. (by @estem8)
Standings and Gantry retain final gaps and intervals through cooldown and cars leaving the track, preferring official iRacing results when available. (by @tariknz)
Keep collecting session history while an enabled Gantry is minimised or closed, and retain incident session names after the simulator exits. (by @23Kev)
Copy the correct detected OBS server address and open each profile's separate browser layout through Actions > Edit Browser Layout. (by @tariknz)
Include a signed Windows shortcut launcher in fresh installations and automatic updates. (by @tariknz)
Prevent the reported keyboard lockup after returning from Remote Desktop; combined keyboard/controller button boxes may still be affected, and keyboard media or macro keys can no longer be bound as gamepad controls. (by @tonyshutov)
Preserve uploaded player icons used by other profiles when replacing or removing an icon; unused uploaded files now remain on disk. (by @tariknz and @Foribald)
Preserve the last valid fuel history and reference-lap files and show a Settings warning plus a notification when the disk is full; failed saves retry after another change or when quitting. (by @tariknz)
Handle special characters in iRacing driver/team names and setup paths that could prevent session data from loading. (by @tariknz)
Guard against crashes or invalid reads when iRacing's telemetry layout changes. (by @tariknz)
Show oversized practice push-to-pass counts as 999+ s without overflowing adjacent columns. (by @tariknz)
Suppress iRacing Shift Light cues in top gear and while braking or off throttle, including downshift blips. (by @Foribald)
Prevent malformed Input traces when increasing Max Samples. (by @tariknz)
Explain invalid, duplicate or OS-unavailable shortcuts beside the affected binding while retaining the saved shortcut after a rejected edit. (by @tariknz)
Refresh iRacing series and car names, add Syria's flag mapping and update Sonoma Raceway's Cup Long map. (by @tariknz)
Accept bracketed array indexes when inspecting session data in Telemetry Inspector. (by @Foribald)
Restore performance-capture startup on Node 24 and replay launch when automatic simulator detection is enabled. (by @estem8)
Improve diagnostic error details and installation/version attribution while respecting analytics opt-out and removing private path prefixes. (by @tariknz)
