RaceRoom WebHUD, a very useful overlay for your racing needs.

The above link is for the sample tool developed by Sector 3 themselves, to showcase how to use the shared memory from RaceRoom.

To install, you need to go click on the green Code button, then on Download ZIP.

After that, extract the folder wherever you want on your computer. There is a file dash.exe inside the dist folder, I recommend creating a shortcut for that on your Desktop (Right Click > Create Shortcut)

On Steam, add the following to the game launch parameters (Right Click on R3E in Library > Properties > Set Launch Options)

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://sector3studios.github.io/webhud/dist/

Every time you want the HUD to work, you need to run dash.exe before the game. It will create a command prompt window, and it will look for RaceRoom’s shared memory until the game is open.

After you open the game, I recommend turning off all of the HUD elements in-game, so you don’t have duplicated information on screen.

An alternate version of the HUD (that I started using recently) is OtterHUD, which can be found here:

All you need to do for it to work is replace the launch options to:

-webdev -webHudUrl=https://otterhud.github.io/

OtterHUD

That’s it for now! Hope this helps. See you on track!
