What the engineer does in iRacing

alerts: 231
coach techniques: 0
questions: 33

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.
