Second Monitor Telemetry
Second monitor telemetry tools display real-time data on a separate screen or device during sessions. Throttle, brake, steering, speed, gear, lap times, and more—without overlaying your main view. Popular options include Second Monitor (GitLab) and various open-source projects. Most are free and open source.
Key Features
- Real-time telemetry on second screen or device
- Throttle, brake, steering, speed, gear, lap times
- No overlay on main racing view
- Various projects: Second Monitor, iRacing-Telemetry-overlay, etc.

What It Does
These tools read live telemetry from iRacing (and sometimes ACC, rFactor 2, Automobilista) and render it on a second monitor, tablet, or phone. Typical data: throttle, brake, steering, speed, gear, lap/sector times, fuel. Some offer lap analysis, driver comparison, and timing. Useful when you prefer data off the main screen or on a separate device.
