Open Source
We're not open source yet — but that's the plan.
SimTelemetry started because we wanted a simple, fast way to record and view sim racing telemetry without dealing with clunky tools. Along the way it grew into something bigger — AI analysis, community comparison, cloud sync.
But at the heart of it, the thing that matters most is the local recording and playback engine. That's what makes everything else possible.
Our plan is to open-source that core — so anyone can use SimTelemetry to record sessions locally and build whatever they want on top of the data. Coaching tools, custom dashboards, race analytics, Discord bots — whatever.
What we plan to open
Sim Bridge
The low-level communication layer that connects to Assetto Corsa, LMU, and future sims. Read telemetry in real-time at 60Hz.
The viewer
The local web app that runs on your machine, renders telemetry data, and provides the UI for analysis. So you can build your own custom dashboards and tools on top oof simtelemetry to record data.
What stays closed (for now)
The cloud platform, AI analysis pipeline, community features, and web app. These are the parts that cost money to run and will likely be how we sustain the project.
But the free, local experience — recording, viewing, analyzing your own data on your own machine — that should be open for everyone.
When?
We're working on stabilizing the recording format and cleaning up the codebase. We want to make sure the API surface is solid before opening it up. No firm date yet, but it's actively in progress.
When we're ready, the code will be on GitHub with a permissive open-source license.
