AI race engineer for iRacing

iRacing publishes more data than any other sim, and it shows: the engineer calls out who is alongside you, the flags, how the gaps to the cars ahead and behind are moving, and whether your fuel will last to the end.

What it tells you over the radio

Spotter

Car left, car right, three wide and clear, using iRacing's own signal.

Flags and lapped traffic

Yellows, blue flags and a heads-up that you are about to be lapped before the flag comes out.

Gaps that move

It doesn't read out the gap every thirty seconds: it tells you when the car ahead is getting closer or the one behind is catching you.

Fuel to the flag

Laps left at your fuel consumption, timed races included, where it estimates them from your pace.

It comes straight from the app's code and is updated along with it. “Not yet tested on track” means it's built but nobody has driven it with this game yet.

What this game doesn't publish

The sim that publishes the most: spotter, flags, gaps to rivals, fuel and pit stops. It does not publish damage (only the repair seconds), hot tyre pressure or wheel slip. The corner coach is built, but not yet tested on track with iRacing.

How to connect

  1. 1

    Install SmoothOperator on the same Windows PC you race on.

  2. 2

    Open iRacing with the app running. No plugins to install and no game settings to change: the app detects it automatically.

  3. 3

    Join the session. iRacing takes a while to load and the app lets you know while it waits; once you are in the car, the engineer starts talking.

Frequently asked questions

Does the corner coach work in iRacing?

It's built, but it hasn't been tested on track with iRacing yet, and we label it as such. In Assetto Corsa, where it is tested, it tells you which corner you lose time in against your best lap.

Does it report car damage?

iRacing doesn't publish damage as a percentage, only the repair time in seconds. The engineer works with that and doesn't make anything up.

Can I request my pit stop by voice?

It's built for iRacing but not yet tested on track. The game's full breakdown shows the status of every feature.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Spanish and Catalan: the voice and the whole app. Each language has its own engineer voice, which runs on your PC without a connection.

Can I use it now?

Right now we are in private beta: we open seats in batches and let you know by email. Joining the waitlist is free; the plans we intend to offer are on the Pricing page.

Do I need an internet connection?

To download the voice pack the first time, yes. After that, the callouts play from clips stored on your PC, even offline. Talking to the AI does need a connection.
