ADVANCE DDU · THE BLANK CANVAS

THE PROBLEM

I want MY dash, not the one I'm given.

Your cockpit.
Your layout.

Split the screen into up to 50 cells by dragging lines with your mouse — no menus — and wire any of 100 functions straight into iRacing's live data feed: real data or predictions, coloured and sized your way.

WHY ADVANCE DDU EXISTS

Five problems it solves.

Everything RACE and COACH solve, plus:

No FPS cost Any car, any track (CSV·DDU) Live brake correction COACH row grading Fuel in laps iRating live VR mode

“Every overlay decides the layout for me.”

Fixed dashboards are great until the one function you actually want isn't on them — or is exactly where you don't want it.

Split the canvas into 1 to 50 cells by dragging the blue lines, click a cell to pick its function from a 9-category catalogue, and set its colours from the same menu. No config files, no code.

ADVANCE DDU grid with real widgets

“I don't want to rebuild my layout every session type.”

Practice, qualy, a 6-hour endurance stint and a coaching review all want different information on screen — rebuilding each one from scratch gets old fast.

7 built-in MODE presets — FREE, PRACTICE, QUALY, RACE, ENDURANCE, COACH, DATA — give you a populated grid to start from, and you can save your own custom layouts too.

“I stream, and my overlay looks like everyone else's.”

Off-the-shelf overlays all look the same on stream, and swapping branding usually means digging through settings menus.

The animated Push & Lift logo reacts to your inputs live — right-click any cell to swap it for your own PNG or GIF, and right-click the frame to recolour the bezel. Your brand, your sponsor, one click away.

“A crash or an error dialog mid-race would wreck my session.”

The last thing you want going into a braking zone is a Windows error popup stealing your focus.

The drawing loop is shielded end to end: a bad telemetry frame never freezes the DDU, nothing pops up mid-lap — issues are logged quietly to RaceCanvas_error.log instead.

“I run my DDU across several screens — or in VR — and juggling windows is a mess.”

One overlay is never enough on a triple-monitor rig or in the headset: you want speed here, the relative there, fuel somewhere else — and the window manager fights you.

Open up to 4 fully independent windows — each with its own layout, colours and mode — plus mini-screens docked to all four sides of each. Every window is its own pinnable Windows taskbar icon, so in VR you pin each panel exactly where you want it.

100 FUNCTIONS, 9 CATEGORIES

Real data, and predictions.

Real data — speed, gear, RPM, pedals, wheel, driver inputs, lat/long G, temperatures, flags, class STANDINGS, ENDURANCE (the position fight without lapped traffic), RELATIVE, free-text NOTES, and the animated logo or your own image.

Predictions — Brake Alert and Brake Alert 2, RALLY co-driver arrows, fuel laps remaining, gaps, estimated iR/SR gain, SoF. Every function has its own settings: graph seconds, warning lead time, units, colour bands.

Every function lives in one of 9 tabbed categories with a search box — type “fuel”, “rain” or “licence” and it filters by name and description across all of them at once.
