◆ Beta Testers Wanted

The endurance race engineer is live.
Now come and break it.

Stint planning, fuel strategy, tyre degradation — plus a real-time cockpit that makes the call during your race. Built from your own telemetry, shipped and working today. Now I need serious endurance racers to run it in anger and tell me where it falls over.

§ 01 · What it already does

Your race, read properly — stint by stint, and called live while you're driving it.

AB Racing Line already coaches you corner-by-corner and recommends setup changes from your telemetry. The endurance tools add two things on top: a Strategy tab that dissects a race you've finished, and Strategy Live — a cockpit that reads your race as it happens and tells you what to do about it.

Race Plan & Fuel Strategy

A real fuel profile — a heavy tank burns more than a half-empty one, so your race never gets flattened into a single average. Stint length, stop count, conservative vs aggressive plans, and what lifting-and-coasting would actually buy you.

Tyres, Degradation & Race Reality

Are you limited by fuel or by tyres? Degradation measured as real lap-time loss per lap — and honestly separated from your own mistakes. Plus your clean pace vs your actual race pace with traffic and cautions in it, which is what a stint plan should really be built on.

Strategy Live — during the race

One button. It reads your live race and leads with the call: pit now, pit in 4 laps, you'll make the flag, or save 0.15/lap. Fuel remaining, relative & leaderboard, live track map, tyre temps — and whether you'd rejoin into clean air or straight into traffic.

Honest note

All of that is built and shipped — this isn't a roadmap. Which is exactly why I need you: it works on my races, on my data. I want to know what it does on yours, in a real race, when it all goes sideways.

§ 02 · What you get as a founding tester

Two rewards. Both real. Both lifetime.

◆ Reward 01

60 days of AB Racing Line, free

Free 60-day promo code redeemable the moment you're approved. Full app — corner coaching, setup recommendations, telemetry, the lot. No payment details required.

◆ Reward 02

Founder's Rate £3.99/mo locked for life

After your 60 days end, subscribe at the original founder's rate of £3.99/month — locked forever. Even after the public price rises to £5.99/mo (2,001+ subscribers), your rate stays £3.99 for as long as you remain subscribed.

Why I'm doing this

Endurance racing is complex. The strategy engine needs validation against real data from real races across every category — not just GT3 at Spa. I'm offering meaningful rewards because your IBT files and feedback directly shape what V1 ships with.

§ 03 · Who can apply

If you race endurance on iRacing, I want to hear from you.

iRacing Class B or higher

Either Road OR Oval license. Consistent, clean data is essential — Class B is the floor.

Active endurance racer

You race official endurance events, hosted leagues, or regularly drive 1h+ practice stints.

Discord access

All tester communication happens in the AB Racing Line Discord server. Free, takes 30 seconds to join.

Windows 10/11 PC

The app runs on Windows. macOS and Linux not supported in V1.

§ 04 · What I still need

Four things. All of them come from just racing normally.

The engine is validated against a lot of my own data. What it hasn't seen enough of is other people's real races — the messy ones, with cautions, traffic, long stints and a stop that went wrong. That's where it'll break, and that's what I want.

Need 01

A race with real cautions

Why: The app detects full-course yellows, but I've never validated it on a real race that actually had one. Every file I own ran green.
Ideal: Any race that threw a caution — oval or road, doesn't matter
Need 02

Long, multi-stint races

Why: Comparing your stints against each other — did you fade, did the car go off — needs races with several proper stints. Most of my files are one big stint.
Ideal: 3+ hours, 3+ stops. The longer and messier, the better.
Need 03

Strategy Live, used for real

Why: It makes the call live, mid-race. I need to know whether the call was right, whether you trusted it, and what you wanted it to tell you that it didn't.
Ideal: Run it on a second monitor during a real race, then tell me where it let you down
Need 04 — NEW

iRacing baseline setups

Why: I have setup knowledge for 69 cars. For anything else, the app falls back to generic advice. A car's iRacing baseline export gives me its real parameters, ranges and iRacing's own notes — enough to teach the app that car properly.
Ideal: The baseline for any car you race that gives you generic setup advice today
Read this before you send a setup

I do not want your setup. I'm not asking for it, I don't want it, and I wouldn't use it. Your setup is your work and it stays yours.

What I'm asking for is the iRacing baseline — the stock setup that ships with the car, that every single owner of that car already has, that you'd load and then immediately start changing. It isn't yours and it isn't mine; it's iRacing's, and it's identical in everyone's garage.

What I actually use it for

I read the parameter names, the adjustment ranges and iRacing's own setup notes out of that file — what the car can do, not what you've done with it. That's what lets the app say "soften the rear anti-roll bar two clicks" for your car instead of shrugging and giving you generic advice. Setups are never published, never shared, never handed to anyone else.

§ 05 · How to send a useful race

Just race. Genuinely — that's the whole instruction.

There's no test protocol any more. I used to ask people to drive sterile solo runs; I've got plenty of those now, and they're not where the app breaks. The messy stuff is the valuable stuff. Race it properly, then send me the file.

  1. Race what you'd race anyway. Officials, hosted, leagues, team races — all good. Any car, any track, any discipline.
  2. The longer the better. Multiple stints and multiple stops tell me far more than one clean run.
  3. Don't tidy it up for me. Traffic, a caution, a scruffy stop, going off, a spin — that's reality, and reality is what I'm testing against.
  4. Try Strategy Live while you're at it. Have it up during the race and see whether the call it makes is the call you'd have made.
  5. Don't restart the session midway. It's the one thing that genuinely breaks the file.
  6. Send me the file afterwards. It's in Documents\iRacing\telemetry — most recent one, named after the car and track.
What's actually most useful right now

A race that threw a caution, or a long race with several stints. Those are the two things the app has genuinely never been tested against on real data — every file I own ran green from lights to flag, in one big stint. If your race was chaos, I want it.

Your data, your PC

Everything in AB Racing Line runs locally on your machine — your telemetry never leaves it unless you choose to send me a file. If you'd rather test the app and send me no files at all, that's completely fine. Feedback on its own is worth plenty.

§ 07 · FAQ

Things people ask before joining.

Hang on — are you trying to get my setup? +

No. Absolutely not. I don't want your setup, I'm not asking for it, and I wouldn't use it if you sent it. Your setup is your work and it stays yours.

What I ask for is the iRacing baseline — the stock setup that ships with the car, which every owner of that car already has sitting in their garage. It isn't yours and it isn't mine. I read the parameter names, the adjustment ranges and iRacing's own notes out of it, so the app knows what that car can do and can give proper advice for it instead of generic rules. Nothing I do with it reveals anything about how you set your car up.

How much work is this? +

Close to none. There's no test protocol any more — you race what you'd race anyway, and use the app on it. If you want to send me a race file afterwards, that's a drag-and-drop. No deadlines, no quotas, no homework.

Do I have to send you any files at all? +

No. Honest feedback from real races is worth just as much to me as data — arguably more. If you'd rather test the app and send nothing, that's completely fine, and your access and founder's rate are unaffected.

I'm not especially fast. Does that matter? +

Not at all. The engine measures your consistency, your fuel burn and your degradation — not absolute lap times. A steady 1:38 at Spa is more useful to me than a 1:32 followed by three spins. And frankly, if the app only works for aliens, it's broken.

What kind of race is most useful? +

The messy kind. Two things the app has genuinely never been tested against on real data: a race that threw a caution, and a long race with several proper stints. Every file I own ran green from lights to flag in one big stint. Traffic, a scruffy stop, a spin — don't tidy it up, that's the bit I need.

What happens to my files after I send them? +

They sit in a private folder only I can see, and they're used purely to test and improve the app. Never shared, never published, never sold. Ask me to delete them at any point and they're gone, no questions.

Worth saying too: the app itself runs entirely on your own PC. Your telemetry never leaves your machine unless you personally choose to send me a file.

When does the £3.99/mo rate lock kick in? +

The moment you're approved as a founding tester — you're flagged with the founder's rate permanently. After your 60 days free run out you can subscribe at £3.99/mo, and that rate stays with you for as long as you stay subscribed, even once public pricing rises to £5.99/mo.

What if I join and then never really contribute? +

The 60 days free are yours regardless — I won't chase you. The lifetime founder's rate is meant for people who actually help, whether that's a file or just telling me what's rubbish. Please don't sign up purely to farm a free trial; that isn't what this is for, and it's a small enough programme that I'll notice.

I've got ideas beyond files and bug reports. Want them? +

Very much so. The whole point of a small tester group in Discord is that you get direct conversation with the person building it. If there's something the endurance tools should do that I haven't thought of, the tester channel is exactly where to say so — several features in the app started life as exactly that.
