A minority of games are only compatible with the spotter features and not the crew chief features but it is still great.

I run CrewChief with every sim that I play that is compatible. It will run on a large list of popular sims which I’ve outlined in the following table. One of the coolest things is that the radio comms refer to you by a name, and if you’re lucky, you can set that name to be your real-life name! It’s just a nerdy perk that I really enjoy and increases the immersion just that little bit more.ĬrewChief isn’t only iRacing specific either. It gives more information, lap times, general race updates, specifics on crashes in upcoming corners… the list goes on. CrewChief automates all of this, which means all you have to do is pull into the pits and you will get the amount of fuel that the program thinks that you need to make it to the end (you can set a + lap threshold in case you don’t trust it 100%).Īs I mentioned before, CrewChief also has a built-in spotter which (in my opinion) is far superior to the iRacing default spotter. There’s nothing worse than fighting for position halfway through a race and having to try and manually calculate how much fuel you’ll need to take to make it to the end of the race. One of the greatest features that CrewChief has is the ability to handle the logistics of a pit-stop for you. It also doubles as a greatly improved spotter when compared to the default iRacing one. CrewChief is an all-in-one race management tool that allows you to set up tactics, get race information, lap times, and a bunch of other things over the radio, even allowing you to communicate back. I will hardly ever have a session of iRacing going without VRS Telemetry turned on.ĬrewChief is awesome. It’s a fantastic tool to be able to zoom out on things and look at exactly what is going wrong, and where I can improve. I use this a lot if I’m struggling for pace. Being able to see exactly where this time is going in a post-race or practice analysis is one of the keys to getting faster. Whether it be the line I take through a corner or the amount of braking that I do, these little differences all add up to a large amount of time difference at the end of a lap.

You can see from the screenshot above (I’m the blue, the Virtual Racing School pro is the red) that I’m able to identify subtle differences in things that I do that the pros either don’t or that they do differently. It is an invaluable tool that allows me to take a deep dive into my lap times and figure out why I’m so slow compared to everyone else… Virtual Racing School Telemetry is something that I always have on when I run iRacing.
