Driving aids can be enabled in the Options --> Drive menu under Driving Aids.

Unfortunately, there is no way to use Driving Aids on ALL series. Some series do not allow driving aids because it's not possible, for example dirt series. However, any series that CAN have driving aids, they will be available for you to enable in the SIM garage.

 If you see that this area is grayed out, this means it's not available



Checkboxes 

  • Auto pit speed limiter- limit the car's speed when in the pit lane to the pit speed limit. Drivers are still responsible for slowing down to the pit speed limit when entering the pits.
  • Auto engine start- start the car when pressing the throttle if the car is stopped and the engine is off.
  • Auto tearoff/wipers- activate the tearoff or wipers when the driver's vision dirties.
  • The Driving Line shows a colorized racing line around the track that is colored red for braking zones and green for acceleration zones.
  • The Pit Exit Line shows a blue line at the pit exit to guide drivers out of the pit lane.
  • Brake Assistance prevents you from locking up your brakes.
  • Throttle Assistance prevents you from spinning your wheels.


Shift Aid (Dropdown menu)

  • The Shift Aid drop-down is additive, meaning every item above your current selection is included.
    • Anti-Stall Clutch will automatically engage the clutch at low speeds and slowly release the clutch when taking off, allowing the user only to have to press the throttle.
    • Auto Clutch will automatically engage the clutch between shifts.
    • Auto Blip will automatically blip the throttle to smoothen downshifts.
    • Auto Shift will automatically shift the car through all forward gears; the user must manually change between forward and reverse.



When are Driving Aids Allowed?


Rookie series will allow all available driving aids. Higher levels may be more restricted. The available driving aids for official sessions will be shown on the Series Information page. 

As a general rule of thumb you can refer to this-

  • C Class sessions and down (Rookie, D, C) are set to Allow All assists
  • All B Class sessions and above (B, A, Pro) are set to Disallow All but clutch assist 
  • Driving aids can be enabled or disabled for hosted sessions by the session owner
  • Driving aids are not available for any of our special events

Please know that we do believe using driving aids when they aren't necessary can be a hindrance, instead of helpful, because people tend to rely too heavily on the aids and instead of learning to use their surroundings and make adjustments manually as needed. We do suggest only using aids when training or when absolutely necessary.

This is an Adaptive Adjustments page in the new forums made by David Tucker, our expert in this area. These are a series of experimental flags for the app.ini that let you make the driving line bigger, change its color, enable the pit line at all tracks, and add in a much larger mouse (with ugly programmer art per David).

If you have physical challenges or other disabilities, you can contact support@iracing.com to request the driving aid flag being enabled for your account.
