What is an AI race engineer?
An AI race engineer is a voice assistant that follows your race in real time and talks to you the way your team's engineer would: it warns you when it matters, answers your questions, and relies on your telemetry.
What a race engineer does
In motorsport, the engineer follows telemetry, fuel, tyres and strategy, then talks to the driver over the radio. The driver keeps their eyes on the track: the information comes to them, they don't have to look for it. In sim racing, a race engineer replaces dashboards and screens with a voice.
What AI adds
A classic assistant answers fixed commands. With AI, you ask in your own words, follow up, clarify, and it remembers what was just said. The numbers come from the game's telemetry: the AI rephrases them faithfully.
Spotter, alerts and questions: three roles
The spotter watches the cars around you, instantly and without a network connection. Proactive alerts (fuel, tyres, flags, weather) come from detectors that judge what is worth saying. Open questions go through the AI.
How Realtime Race Engineer does it
RRE reads the game's telemetry on your PC, detects events locally and produces its voice on your PC. Your voice is transcribed locally and never sent anywhere. Only the text of your questions goes to the AI provider of your choice, using your own key. Its answers rely on your telemetry.
What it is
A voice instead of a HUD: everything goes through audio. It reads telemetry and talks to you, without acting on the game.
Who it's for, and how to try it
RRE is for Le Mans Ultimate drivers on Windows, with a button or wheel for push-to-talk and an API key from an AI provider (Google AI Studio offers a free one for Gemini). The beta is free and open: send your application and you'll get your invitation by email.
