If like me you crave an authentic motorsport experience then you love racing online with live stewarding. When I started my own sim racing community I was adamant that it would feature live stewarding as I had competed in an RD championship which had Mr Paul Glover playing the race director role, and despite being on the wrong end of his decisions it felt authentic as hell.

The first couple of races I organised with my community I rather crudely tried to watch all the action in real time and call the penalties as I saw them. Quite frankly it was unmanageable. In steps Leonard Schuengel. Leonard was one of the first members in my newly founded community (ACCSS) and quickly became an integral part both as a driver and a steward. He started tinkering with the broadcast tool on ACC and found a neat solution for monitoring incidents on track, the result after nearly a year of development is the ACC Race Control App.

Powerful stewarding tools in ACC for FREE​

The tool gives every ACC community the chance to conduct live stewarding with relative ease, just set the tool running and join the lobby and away you go. The tool has been so effective that simracing.gp has been using it for many of the races which require such management. We also recommend this tool to all new ACC communities coming on board to SGP as we trust it so much.

There are a few steps you need to follow to get it setup correctly but trust me when I say they are painless, If I can do it, anyone can. But when it is all set up and working you will get access to all the contacts on track in real time presented on an easy to use sheet. Replay times will be published along side the cars involved as well as displaying live race timings.

What can ACC Race Control do for you?​

• Display live timings with information such as lap times, lap delta, gap to the car ahead etc.​

• A detailed list of all events that happen during a race including driver connections, disconnects, lap
• A list of crashes which includes information on when they occurred and which cars
• Exports incidents to a Google spreadsheet in real time for live or post race stewarding
• Broadcasting controls such as change camera, focused car and HUD selection

Leonard being the legend that he is has offered this amazing tool for free, hosted here on RaceDepartment. So if you are an ACC community looking for some incredibly powerful live stewarding tools then look no further.

Knowing Leonard like I do he will hate me for this, but, if you use this tool and get value from it please make use of the donation button and help support this awesome open source project.

Some quotes from communities on Simracing.gp using this tool already: ​

"It really helps with structure of stewarding. It is really easy to maintain overview of penalties and also time management. Lots of time saved where the incident app show replaytime, cars involved and what laps they are both on. "
- Terry Farish, The Pit Crew

''When Leonard came up with the idea to live steward all the races in ACCSimSeries, i thought he was crazy, but he has spent so much time and effort developing this tool to help improve our driving standards tenfold over the course of multiple seasons! Every time I think it would just be easier to do post-race stewarding myself, i talk to my stewards, we open up the tool and it makes everything so much easier then having to do it all in the hours or days after the race has finished!
