Typical Use Case
You are competing in a league race that has Race Control managing the event via Discord. Another car makes contact with you or causes an incident nearby. Rather than fumbling with the keyboard mid-race, you simply press the pre-configured Contact Report button on your button box or Stream Deck.
iReporter has already detected the incident and captured the car number, driver name, and lap. Your button press instantly sends a formatted message to the Race Control Discord channel — something like:
/rc Avoidable Contact reported on Car #42 (John Smith) on Lap 14.3 by car number #76 from behind - Please look into when you get a chance - Thank you
And if configured to do so, can also send a similar voice message via the iRacing radio channel.
Race Control receives the report immediately and can act on it, while you stay focused on racing.
If you use a Stream Deck, the button that triggered the report flashes green briefly to confirm it was sent, then reverts to its normal display. A dedicated Crash Alert key on the Stream Deck turns red and counts down the reporting window so you always know how long you have left to submit a report.
iReporter is particularly valuable during the most hectic moments of a race — safety car restarts, multi-car incidents, or late-race battles — when clear, fast communication with Race Control makes a real difference.
