Install
Unzip the download anywhere and run IracingRaceEngineer.Wpf.exe. There's no installer — the app is self-contained, so you don't need .NET installed separately. Windows SmartScreen may warn that the app is unrecognized; that's expected for an unsigned, independent tool — choose "More info" then "Run anyway".
Run modes
Race Engineer runs in one of three modes, set from the dashboard:
- Observation — reads telemetry and shows the numbers; makes no decisions and touches nothing.
- Assisted — surfaces recommendations (fuel, pit window, alerts) for you to act on yourself.
- Automatic — additionally sets the pit fuel service amount for you, gated to only ever act during an actual pit stop.
Kill switch
Every mode can be turned off instantly from the dashboard. Turning off automation always leaves you in full manual control — there's no state where the app can act and you can't stop it.
Language
The interface is available in English and Portuguese. Switch it from settings at any time — no restart needed.
Your data
Race history, settings, and logs are stored locally on your machine, next to your Documents folder. Nothing is uploaded — there's no account and no server involved in normal use. The only network calls the app makes are to GitHub, to check for and download updates.
