Race Settings

The following table will give you an overview over all settings, which are available in the session database. As described here, this settings can be defined precisely for a given simulator / car / track / weather combo and will overwrite the settings you have chosen in the "Race Settings" dialog. This allows you to automate most of the settings required for an upcoming session.

General settings

This settings are generally available, although you can and have to define them specific for a given simulator / car / track / weather combo as described. Further down below you can find additional settings, which are not generally available, but are specific for a selected simulator.

Also note, that setting this to False may be confusing, if you require a confirmation of a strategy update on the other hand, since it would not be obvious what will be confirmed.
	Strategy summary before pitstop	Boolean	False	No	If enabled (True), the Strategist will give a summary of the active strategy just before an upcoming pitstop. This can be enabled as an alternative to the other settings above.
Strategy	Position Extrapolation	Integer	3	Yes	The Strategist permanently simulates the events of the upcoming laps depending on the development of the recent laps to predict future race standings. This information is used for example for pitstop recommendations and strategy updates. This value specifies, how many laps into the future will be calculated on each crossing of the start / finish line. Attention: High values might result in high CPU consumption.
	Overtake Delta	Integer	1	Yes	During simulation of the future race development, the Strategist will also take overtaking into account. This value defines the time loss for both cars in seconds according to this formula: Abs( X / laptime difference), where X is the value entered here.
	Pitlane Delta	Integer	60	Yes	The time difference in seconds between drive by and drive through of the pitlane.
	Pitstop Variation Window (+/- Lap)	Integer	3	Yes	Specifies, how many laps before an after the projected pitstop (depending on available fuel), the Strategist will simulate to create his recommendation for an upcoming pitstop. Also used in the dynamic traffic simulation to specify the number of laps the simulation is allowed to deviate from the pitstop lap derived by linear calculation. As said, remaining fuel is taken into account, so if you want to be able to delay your pitstop long enough, be sure, to increase the amount of safety fuel as well.
	Traffic Track Length	Integer	5	Yes	Specifies the length of the track (in percentage of the overall length) which will be considered in traffic density calculations by the Strategist. Used both in pitstop recommendations derived by linear calculations as well as in the dynamic traffic simulation using the Monte Carlo method.
	Dynamic Traffic Simulation (Monte Carlo)	Boolean	false	No	If this setting is enabled, the Strategist will use a Monte Carlo simulation model to create a probability distribution for the further race development, thereby finding the best possible lap for the next pitstop (see this Wikipedia entry for an introduction to Monte Carlo methods). Once enabled, you can use the following settings to fine tune the probability distrubution and the depth of search. WARNING: This will consume lots of CPU cycles and can take quite some time. It is strongly advised, to let this setting disabled, unless you own a really powerful PC. In team races, it is possible to run the Monte Carlo simulation in the "Team Center", thereby offloading the computational load from the drivers PC.
	Traffic Randomness	Integer	5	No	[Dynamic Traffic Simulation] Specifies the general random factor for each data point in percentage. 5% means, that the given data point will defer from the value provided by a linear calculation in 5% of all cases.
	Traffic Scenarios	Integer	20	No	[Dynamic Traffic Simulation] Specifies the number of scenarios to generate before choosing the best scenario. Be aware, that each scenario in itself might contain many scenerios for tyre wear, compound mixture choices and so on, if you have used the Optimizer while generating the initial strategy. So be careful using high numbers here in combination with complex strategies, or you might end up waiting for a long time...
	Simulate lap time variations (Consistency)	Boolean	true	No	[Dynamic Traffic Simulation] If enabled, variations in lap time of you and your opponents will be taken into account according to the consistency values of past laps.
	Simulate driver errors (Control)	Boolean	true	No	[Dynamic Traffic Simulation] If enabled, random off-track events and even incidents will be simulated based on the car control and previous incidents of a given driver. This will have a much larger effect than variations by generated of the drivers consistency.
	Simulate opponent pitstops	Boolean	true	No	[Dynamic Traffic Simulation] Will enable the simulation of pitstops of your opponents. Recent pitstops will taken into account, if available. Otherwie a random factor is used here as well.
	Autonomous Mode	Yes, No, Custom	Custom	Yes	This is a very special setting. It lets you give the different Assistants a lot of autonomy and capabilities to guide you through a race without further interaction needed from your side. The setting combines a lot of settings also available seperately, namely: "Engineer: Confirm Pitstop Preparation", "Strategist: Confirm Pitstop Planning", "Strategist: Confirm Strategy Update" and "Strategist: Confirm Strategy Explanation". When the value of "Autonomous Mode" is Yes, all these other settings are implicitly assumed to be true, if the value is No, all these other settings are assumed to be false, and if the value is Custom, those settings are used as they are specified. Therefore, if you set "Autonomous Mode" to Yes, the Strategist and the Engineer will work together during strategy planning and execution without asking the driver for confirmation.
	Automatic recalculation (Laps)	Integer	0	Yes	If there is an active strategy for the current session, the Strategist can try to optimize this strategy on behalf of the current race situation and will inform the driver if a better strategy can be derived, who then can decide to activate the new strategy. This setting specifies the number of laps between each recalculation, with 0 meaning no recalculation at all. Enabling this will put a high demand on the CPU, so test it before using it in an important race.
	Automatic recalculation (Pitstop)	Integer	0	Yes	If there is an active strategy for the current session, the Strategist can try to adjust this strategy when an upplanned pitstop has been necessary. If the strategy could be adjusted to the new situation, the driver will be informed and can decide to activate the new strategy. This setting specifies the number of laps a pit stop may deviate from the originally planned pitstop lap, so that it is considered to be in line with the strategy. 0 als means here no recalculation at all. Enabling this will put a high demand on the CPU after a pitstop, so test it before using it in an important race.
Team Session	Cooldown	Integer	600	No	Number of seconds that will be waited after a finished session before a new connection to a Team Server session will be opened.

Notes

(1) The default for iRacing is False, since the simulator does not provide correct tyre pressure information while driving. This will lead to setup pressure values, which are way off, when tyres are changed at the pitstop. Therefore it might be better to manage tyre change manually. Up 2 u...

Simulator specific settings

The following settings are only available, if you have selected the corresponding simulator.

1. Assetto Corsa

Category	Setting	Type	Default	Description
Pitstop	Key Delay	Integer	20	The time in ms to wait between each virtual key press, when controlling the pitstop dialog of Assetto Corsa. Increase this, if your computer can't keep up with the speed of the virtual input.
	# Car Specific Settings	Integer	0	Some cars of Assetto Corsa provide car specific settings, which can be changed during pitstop. You can specify them using this setting, so that the setting navigation for these cars is correct. Only necessary for cars not already known in the meta data set for Assetto Corsa in Simulator Controller.
	Minimum Pressure Front Left	Integer	15	Minimum pressure for the front left tyre allowed for a given car in Assetto Corsa. Only necessary for cars not already known in the meta data set for Assetto Corsa in Simulator Controller.
	Minimum Pressure Front Right	Integer	15	Minimum pressure for the front right tyre allowed for a given car in Assetto Corsa. Only necessary for cars not already known in the meta data set for Assetto Corsa in Simulator Controller.
	Minimum Pressure Rear Left	Integer	15	Minimum pressure for the rear left tyre allowed for a given car in Assetto Corsa. Only necessary for cars not already known in the meta data set for Assetto Corsa in Simulator Controller.

	Repair duration for suspension damage	Float	0.0	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the suspension at a pitstop.
	Repair duration for engine damage	Float	0.0	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the engine at a pitstop.
Track	Type	Circuit, Rally, Hill, Street	Circuit	Defines the type of the specific track. ALl closed tracks are of type Circuit, all open tracks are of type Rally.

2. Assetto Corsa Competizione

Category	Setting	Type	Default	Description
Pitstop	Key Delay	Integer	20	The time in ms to wait between each virtual key press, when controlling the pitstop dialog of Assetto Corsa Competizione. Increase this, if your computer can't keep up with the speed of the virtual input.
	Image Search	Boolean	False	If enabled (True), the image search method is used, when controlling the Pitstop MFD of Assetto Corsa Competizione. If you enable this, because the default option walk disturbs you while driving, you have to provide the search images as described in the [documentation] for the "ACC" plugin.
	Repair duration for bodywork damage	Float	0.282351878	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the bodywork at a pitstop.

3. rFactor 2 and Le Mans Ultimate

Category	Setting	Type	Default	Description
Data	Pitstop setup update interval	Integer	60	Specifies how often the current choices in the Pitstop menu are requested. Since the API call moves the cursor in the menu, it can be very annoying for the driver, when this is done to often. If 0, the data is never requested. Otherwise specify a number of seconds to wait between each request. Default is 60 seconds.
Pitstop	Repair duration for bodywork damage	Float	0.0	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the bodywork at a pitstop.
	Repair duration for suspension damage	Float	0.0	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the suspension at a pitstop.
	Repair duration for engine damage	Float	0.0	This value is multiplied with the internal damage percentage to compute the number of seconds need to repair the engine at a pitstop.
