Overtake Alert Overlay

Racing in multiclass? You need this. Introducing the Overtake Alert overlay! ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

One of the trickiest parts of multiclass racing is knowing when a faster class is closing in on you. Miss that approaching prototype and you'll ruin both your race and theirs. The Overtake Alert overlay solves this by notifying you whenever a faster car class is approaching, giving you time to plan your move and let them through cleanly.

How it worksโ€‹

When a faster car class gets within range, the Overtake Alert will pop up with key information about the approaching car:

  • Car number - Know exactly who's coming
  • iRating - See their rating at a glance
  • Safety rating - Useful context for how they might drive around you
  • Driver license - Additional driver info

Why you'll love itโ€‹

  • Stay aware - No more surprise divebombs from a prototype you didn't see coming
  • Race cleaner - Give way at the right moment instead of causing incidents
  • Customizable - Dark mode, opacity settings, and shortkey support for toggling it on/off

Getting startedโ€‹

  1. Open your Layout Editor
  2. Add the Overtake Alert overlay
  3. Configure it via the overlay settings (columns, appearance)
  4. Bind a shortkey if you want to toggle it during a session

This is a must-have for anyone racing multiclass series like IMSA, ESS, or special events. Let us know how it works for you on Discord!
