All the work
NO. 09 · RACE CONTROL · OWN TEAM · LIVE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2026 · AR

My racing team handled sign-ups, standings and stint planning in scattered messages and spreadsheets. Now a Discord bot does it, in the channel where the team already is.

  • Stint plan in Race Control for a long race, with cars per stint on a timeline; driver names blurred
    FIG. 1 · STINT PLAN FOR A LONG RACE · NAMES BLURRED · DEMO DATA
  • The whole stint page of a six-hour race in Race Control, with tabs per car and two timelines; driver names blurred
    FIG. 2 · STINT PAGE OF A SIX-HOUR RACE · NAMES BLURRED · DEMO DATA
  • The team's all-time standings in Race Control with a top ten, team goal and next event; driver names blurred
    FIG. 3 · THE ALL-TIME STANDINGS · NAMES BLURRED · DEMO DATA
  • Detail of one car in the stint planner: safety car since 09:33, every later stint moves with it, timeline with the NOW marker; names blurred
    FIG. 4 · LATER STINTS MOVE WITH THE SAFETY CAR · NAMES BLURRED · DEMO DATA
Starting point
Sim It eSports Racing, my own team of about thirty drivers. Everything ran through scattered messages and spreadsheets, and nobody had an overview.
What I built
A Discord bot plus a website. Race sign-up with one button, a monthly standing that is never kept by hand again, weekly hotlap challenges, stint and crew planning for long races, and applications from new drivers. One rule sits hard in the code: the bot never publicly names who has not replied.
Who uses it
About thirty drivers, every week.
Reads and writes in
Discord. Reads lap times from Garage 61 and result files from Le Mans Ultimate.
Built with
Discord.js, Next.js, Supabase, Railway, Vercel. Over 1,300 automated tests.
From plan to live
9 to 11 September 2026. Since 29 September 2026 simitesports.com is the team's site.
Live at
simitesports.com

Racing is my hobby, but this is here for one reason: from plan to live in three days, and it has run every week since for thirty people who say so immediately when it stutters.

Something like this for you?

You will hear from me within one working day.
