The Forseti app is one of the most practical performance tools available for iRacing drivers right now. It runs in the background during your sessions and captures every lap automatically. Over time, it builds an ongoing data profile of your driving. More importantly, it gives iRacing drivers something most have never had: direct access to corner-by-corner telemetry from verified professional racers. The core version is completely free, the setup takes minutes, and the driver roster backing it is genuinely impressive.

๐ฎ Forseti App Features
What the Forseti App Does
When you install the Forseti app and run it alongside iRacing, it automatically records your session data. No manual exports, no third-party overlays to configure, no post-session file management required. Every lap you complete generates telemetry that Forseti captures and organizes. That data is stored against your Driver ID, a public profile that tracks your speed, consistency, and progression over time.
The platform has a community layer that makes that data useful beyond personal review. Other Forseti users can follow your Driver ID, compare lap times, and benchmark against your results on shared circuits. An XP system rewards consistent training and measurable improvement, giving you visible progression markers beyond the raw lap timer. Right now, the Forseti app is exclusive to iRacing. However, the team has confirmed it is coming soon to F1 25, Assetto Corsa, ACC, Le Mans Ultimate, and rFactor 2.
What You Get on the Free Forseti App
The free version of the Forseti app is notably complete. Signing up costs nothing. You get full access to session recording, personal telemetry review, community features, and the XP progression system. These are not demo features with artificial limits. They are the full versions, and they remain free permanently.
The side-by-side telemetry comparison is the most immediately useful piece. You can pull up two of your laps on the same circuit and see exactly where one is faster. The app shows which corners you braked later and where your throttle application differed. It also maps what your steering trace looked like through each sequence. That kind of debrief used to require dedicated coaching software or a team data engineer. The Forseti app puts a clean version of it in front of any driver who downloads it.
Beyond telemetry, the Driver ID system builds a public record of your results over time. Your lap times, optimal splits, and sector data all accumulate into a profile. That profile tracks your progression across circuits and car classes. Other drivers on the platform can follow your results, and leaderboards show where you stand in the community. It turns each practice session into something with context. Rather than an isolated session you forget about two hours later, each lap becomes a data point in a longer trajectory.
Verified: Compare Your Data With Real Pro Drivers
The Verified subscription tier is where Forseti separates itself from anything else in the market. Starting at ยฃ5 per driver per month, you can subscribe to a verified professional driver. That gives you access to their actual telemetry data from real sessions.
Not a walkthrough video. Not a setup sheet posted somewhere online. You get the actual recorded corner data from a professional racer: their braking points, throttle application, and time gain or loss at each sector boundary. All of it loads directly alongside your own data in the telemetry viewer for direct comparison.
The Verified driver roster carries real weight across professional motorsport and competitive sim racing. Lucas Blakeley is the F1 Esports World Champion with McLaren. Brendon Leigh is a multiple F1 Esports World Champion and Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports ambassador. Matt Caruana won the 2025 Skip Barber Formula iRacing Series championship. Calan Williams is an active FIA Formula 2 and GT driver. Daniel Morad is a two-time Rolex 24h at Daytona winner. Siro Zambra drives for Williams Esport. Luke Bennett is a former Team Redline competitor.
Each Verified subscription also includes driver notes covering corner approach, braking references, and race craft insights. You also get exclusive video content where the driver breaks down their preparation. The training methodology behind Forseti has received formal approval from Motorsport UK. That positions it as a credible development tool that extends beyond sim racing and into real-world driver coaching.
APEX: Structured Training Inside iRacing
For drivers who want structured development without subscribing to a specific professional driver’s data feed, APEX offers a focused alternative. At ยฃ5 per month (or ยฃ45 per year), APEX delivers structured training programs built around F1 coaching methodology. These run inside iRacing through the Forseti in-game widget.
The sessions are specific and measurable. You get consistency runs, qualifying simulations, and technique-focused modules designed to address particular weaknesses in your driving. Rather than open-ended practice, each session has a defined objective and tracks your output against it. Completing sessions earns XP and generates performance data. You can then review that data afterward to see exactly where the improvement is coming from.
Because APEX sessions run through the in-game Forseti widget, you stay inside iRacing throughout. There is no alt-tabbing, no switching between applications, no need to interrupt the session to check an external tool. The structure is delivered directly into your sim environment. That makes it useful for building the kind of focused training habit that actually improves lap times.
System Requirements and Getting Started
Forseti runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit). You will need 16GB of RAM, a dedicated GPU with at least 4GB of VRAM, and 25GB of available storage. A stable internet connection is also required. If your PC is running iRacing at a reasonable frame rate, it almost certainly meets these requirements. Virtual machine setups are not supported.
Setup is simple: download the app from forsetirace.com, create a free account, and race. Forseti handles data capture automatically in the background. There is no manual session upload, no file management, and no configuration work required between sessions. You drive, it records.
What This Means for iRacing Drivers
Most iRacing drivers hit a ceiling at some point. Lap times stop improving and the faster drivers at the top of the split stay out of reach. The gap does not close no matter how many sessions you add. What is usually missing is a clear reference point. You need to see what a faster lap looks like through each individual corner. Not as a general description, but as actual recorded data.
The Forseti app addresses that problem at multiple levels. The free tier gives you cleaner access to your own data than most drivers currently have. The Verified tier gives you a professional reference to measure against. The APEX tier gives you structured training designed to fix specific issues. That is more targeted than just logging more laps around the same track.
That layered approach mirrors how driver development works in professional motorsport. Teams employ data engineers, coaches, and reference drivers for exactly this reason. Most iRacing subscribers have none of that. The Forseti app does not perfectly replicate a full professional support structure. But it raises the floor considerably. The free entry point means there is no cost to finding out whether it fits how you approach your racing.
The platform is still in beta, so the feature set will keep evolving. The verified driver roster will also continue to grow. What is available right now is already genuinely useful, and the free tier is worth downloading for any driver who takes their lap times seriously.
