Pits n' Giggles

Real-time in-game overlays + advanced F1 telemetry dashboards. (Because racing fast is good. Racing smart is better.)

HUD Overlay

Overview

Pits n' Giggles is a lightweight F1 telemetry companion that brings two major capabilities together:

  1. In-game, always-on-top racing overlays - lightweight HUD widgets you use while driving.
  2. Deep-dive telemetry dashboards - advanced analysis for tyre wear, lap times, fuel modelling, and more.

Whether you're racing, streaming, analysing performance, or coaching remotely, Pits n' Giggles provides real-time insights without ever slowing you down.


In-Game Overlays (Primary Feature)

Traditional telemetry tools expect you to click around mid-race. Ever tried navigating menus while taking Eau Rouge flat? Exactly.

Pits n' Giggles overlays:

  • Stay always on top of your game window
  • Require zero mouse interaction
  • Are high-contrast and glanceable
  • Work seamlessly with streaming setups (OBS-friendly)
  • Are designed for wheel users, VR-style driving, and minimal distraction

Overlay Features

  • Lap deltas & estimated lap times & dynamic sector color updates
  • Tyre compound, age, wear, and predictions
  • ERS usage & deployment mode indicators
  • Fuel load + live consumption model
  • Weather & track conditions
