Venue management for sim racing centres
SimRigAgent is the operating system for a sim racing venue. Drivers check themselves in with a QR code. Your operator seats them, launches the game on the rig and starts the paid timer without leaving the desk. Real telemetry from F1 25 and Assetto Corsa drives a live leaderboard the room can actually see.
How it works
Five steps, and only one of them needs a member of staff. The rest is the system.
A wallpaper screen on every idle rig shows a QR code. The driver scans it with their own phone, enters their name, picks a package and pays — no queue at a counter.
They land in the global queue, tagged with the pod they chose. One tap on Live Control seats them on that rig and the paid countdown starts.
A small agent on each rig PC takes the launch command, starts F1 25 or Assetto Corsa with the right car and track, and clears the wallpaper. Nobody walks over with a keyboard.
The game's own UDP telemetry feed is parsed live — lap times, all three sectors, tyre compound, position. No overlay software, no screen scraping.
Lap times hit the big screen instantly, purple for the session best, with your sponsors along the top. Records persist, so a driver can come back and chase their own time.

Features
Every one of these exists because a night on the floor needed it.
An agent on each rig PC launches F1 25 or Assetto Corsa with the car and track you picked, drops the wallpaper, and reports back when the session is actually live. Four stages of launch feedback, so you know whether a rig is starting or stuck.
Pause a session and the clock stops. Resume and the driver gets every paid second back — the expiry moves, it isn't recalculated.
Take one rig out of service for maintenance, or send the whole fleet back to wallpaper with a single control when the night ends.
S1, S2, S3, tyre compound and lap validity read straight from the game's telemetry — purple for a session best, green for a personal best.
All-time track records per sim, with AI cars filtered out by default — an AI lap is not a record a human can hold.
Group rigs into one race, start them together, and run head-to-head nights without touching a single machine.
Operators run the floor without seeing pricing. Owners see revenue. Every action lands in an activity log.
A companion booking site sells tickets and rig slots for an event. Every paid slot lands in this system as a real booking, tagged with the pod the customer chose and the event they bought into — and each event gets its own live leaderboard to share.
A driver who registers once can log back in and see every lap they've ever set with you — a reason to come back and beat it.
Upload partner logos once and they run along the top of the public leaderboard all night — inventory you can actually sell.
Under the hood
F1 25 and Assetto Corsa both broadcast their own UDP telemetry. SimRigAgent binds a permanent port per rig and parses those packets directly, which is why a lap appears on the board the moment the driver crosses the line — and why two rigs racing at once never get confused for each other.
The whole thing runs as a single process on one machine at the venue — or on a small VPS if you'd rather. Team radio is peer-to-peer, so voice never touches the server. There's no per-seat licence and no cloud dependency for the parts that have to work when the internet doesn't.
Questions
No. SimRigAgent runs alongside whatever hardware you already have. The only thing that goes on a rig PC is a small agent that launches the game and shows the wallpaper — the wheel, pedals and rig itself are yours.
Nothing, as long as the venue LAN is up. The server, the rigs, the leaderboard and the radio all run locally. Only online card payment needs the internet, and the desk can take cash instead.
Yes — group any set of rigs into a LAN session and start them together. Each rig still reports its own telemetry, so the leaderboard shows the whole grid.
There's a companion booking site for that. It sells tickets and timed rig slots, and every paid slot syncs into SimRigAgent as a real booking, pinned to the pod the customer picked. Each event also gets its own shareable live leaderboard.
Only if you want them to. Operators get the floor tools with no pricing or coupon access at all; revenue, exports and the activity log sit behind the owner role.
The fastest way to understand it is to watch a driver scan a code and end up on the board ninety seconds later. Bring a date and we'll run your floor for an evening.
