FAQ
ApexSense is an independent desktop overlay for iRacing that displays real-time tire telemetry (temperatures, wear, pressure) and a proximity radar showing nearby cars. It runs as a transparent overlay on top of the game.
Yes — the overlays sit on top of iRacing in real time. They update continuously as you drive, showing live tire data and nearby traffic.
Each tire shows three temperature zones (outside, middle, inside), average tire wear percentage, and current tire pressure. Each zone is individually color-coded to show operating status at a glance.
The radar is a top-down view centered on your car. Nearby cars appear as colored rectangles — red for very close, yellow for caution, green for safe distance. It also integrates with iRacing's spotter to show cars on your left or right.
Yes. When the overlays are unlocked, you can drag them to any position on screen. Scale and opacity are adjustable from the launcher. Car dimensions on the radar can also be customized from the Radar tab.
ApexSense runs on your desktop monitor. You'll be able to see it on your screen, but it won't appear inside the VR headset by default. To bring it into VR, you can use a VR overlay tool like OVR Toolkit or similar, depending on your setup.
No. ApexSense is fully self-contained — just run the exe. No Node.js, Python, or extra runtimes needed. Everything is bundled inside the app.
Polling interval controls how often ApexSense refreshes telemetry data. Lower values update more often and feel smoother, but may use slightly more system resources. Higher values update less often and are lighter on performance. The default (200 ms) works well for most setups.
Yes. The Tires tab in the launcher lets you set four temperature thresholds that control when colors change: cold, warming, hot, and overheating. Adjust them to match the tire compound or car you're driving.
ApexSense is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by iRacing.

#### Heads Up

ApexSense is provided as-is and used at your own risk. I've built it to be lightweight and helpful, but every PC, sim racing setup, and overlay configuration is different. Please make sure it works properly on your system before relying on it during a session. By using the app, you accept responsibility for how it behaves on your setup. I'm not liable for crashes, conflicts, data loss, performance issues, bans, or any unexpected issues related to its use.
