# GridPilot for Drivers  
*A clean competition platform that gives iRacing drivers structure, clarity, and long-term identity — without the chaos of Discord, spreadsheets, or scattered tools.*

## 1. Why GridPilot Matters for Drivers

iRacing’s official races are fun, but they’re anonymous.  
Community leagues are exciting, but they’re chaotic and inconsistent.

Drivers want:
- clear schedules  
- consistent standings  
- honest competition  
- long-term stats  
- team identity  
- simple sign-ups  
- structured complaints  
- a place to follow their own racing journey  

GridPilot gives drivers the **missing competitive layer** on top of iRacing leagues.

## 2. Your Driver Profile

Every GridPilot driver gets a modern profile that shows who they are across leagues.

### **Profile includes**
- name, number, country  
- leagues you’re currently racing in  
- season standings (driver + team)  
- race history  
- long-term point totals  
- finishing positions  
- incident trends  
- performance stats (e.g., avg finish, win rate)  
- optional team membership  

### **Why it’s different**
For the first time, your results aren’t stuck in individual Discords or spreadsheets.

Your **racing identity lives in one place**.

### **Search filters**
- car class  
- time of day  
- weekday/weekend

- league size  
- region  

### **League pages show**
- schedule  
- standings  
- rules & format  
- car/track list

No more scrolling through dead Discord ads or random forum posts.  
You actually *see* what you’re joining.

## 4. Joining a League — Simple & Fast

A driver-first flow:

1. Pick a league  
2. Review schedule & format  
3. Join solo or select a team  
4. See upcoming races instantly  
5. Start collecting points

No forms.  
No spreadsheets.  
No “talk to the admin.”  
Just click and race.

## 5. Race Day Clarity

GridPilot gives drivers everything they need to show up ready:

- upcoming race timer  
- track, car, session settings  
- lobby info (password, link, format)  
- previous race results  
- standings impact preview  
- weather / dynamic info (if available)  

Drivers stop asking the admin:  
> “Hey, what’s the track this week?”

---

## 6. Automatic Race Results

After the race, GridPilot automatically pulls iRacing’s results:

### **You get**
- final classification  
- gained/lost positions  
- incidents  
- fastest laps  
- points earned  
- drop-week changes  

No more:
- waiting for an admin  
- refreshing Discord  
- reading screenshots  
- guessing standings  

Standings update themselves the moment results hit iRacing.

---

## 7. Long-Term Progression

Drivers always wanted more than “just racing.”  
GridPilot gives:

### **Season history**
- every race  
- every point  
- every position change  

### **Career overview**
- races completed  
- podiums  
- wins  
- average finish  
- trendline performance  

### **Multi-league identity**
Your GridPilot profile grows as you race in multiple leagues and seasons.

This makes league racing finally feel **meaningful**.

---

## 8. Team Racing — Real Constructors-Style Competition

GridPilot supports **real team racing**, not the one-driver-per-team limitation of most leagues.

### **How it works**
- each team registers multiple drivers  
- drivers race in parallel  
- all points contribute to the team championship  
- teams gain prestige over multiple seasons  

### **For drivers**
You can:
- join a team  
- help your team climb the standings  
- show your contribution in your profile  
- build real rivalries over time  

This creates a feeling of *real motorsport* instead of isolated races.

---

## 9. Complaints & Penalties Made Simple

Drivers finally get a **structured** way to submit complaints.

### **Submit complaint**
- pick the race  
- pick involved drivers  
- add timestamps  
- add description  
- optional replay clip / YouTube link  

### **Admin sees a simple review panel.**  
No lost DMs, no arguments across Discord, no chaos.

### **Standings update automatically after penalties.**  
No manual math.  
No spreadsheet edits.

Drivers get transparency.  
Admins get speed.

## 10. The Experience for Drivers

GridPilot gives drivers:

- fewer distractions  
- less confusion  
- no spreadsheet hell  
- proper standings  
- identity that grows  
- team fantasy + real competition  
- simple joining  
- long-term motivation  
- reliable information

League racing finally feels like a **proper season**, not a patchwork process.

## 11. What GridPilot *does not* do (important)

- doesn’t manage your Discord social life  
- doesn’t auto-join races for you  
- doesn’t replace iRacing  
- doesn’t enforce drama rules  
- doesn’t simulate or interfere with gameplay  

GridPilot strengthens what drivers already enjoy —  
and eliminates everything that frustrates them.
