GridPilot for Admins
Professional tools that eliminate the chaos of running an iRacing league — without changing how your community works.
1. Why Admins Need GridPilot
Running a league today means juggling:
- Discord threads
- Google Sheets
- CSVs
- DMs
- PDFs
- manual points
- manual sign-ups
- manual session creation
- messy protest handling
Meanwhile, admins just want to:
- run good races
- keep drivers happy
- keep things fair
- and not drown in repetitive work
GridPilot gives admins the structure and tools iRacing never provided.
2. League Identity & Presentation
Admins get a clean, modern league homepage — instantly.
Includes:
- league logo + colors
- season schedule
- standings (driver + team)
- team list
- driver roster
- results archive
- links to Discord, YouTube, Twitch
Optional:
- custom subdomain (e.g. yourleague.racing)
This makes small leagues feel professional without any technical effort.
3. Season Management
A complete toolkit to organize seasons without spreadsheets.
Admins can:
- define the league format
- create calendars (tracks, car classes)
- configure points systems
- define drop weeks
- choose team vs solo format
- set rules & info pages
- open/close registration
- manage rosters
Everything stays in one clean UI.
4. Driver & Team Sign-ups
Forget Discord forms and DMs.
GridPilot handles:
- driver sign-ups
- team registrations
- automatic roster generation
- driver availability status
- team composition
- waitlist management
Admins no longer need to chase people for info.
5. Automatic Results Import
One of the biggest pains in league racing — gone.
GridPilot automatically imports results from iRacing:
Extracts:
- finishing positions
- incident count
- best laps
- lap-by-lap data
- gained/lost positions
- SoF (if available)
Updates:
- driver standings
- team standings
- season points
- drop-week applied points
Admins don’t upload CSVs or calculate anything manually again.
6. Complaints & Penalties
A structured workflow to replace protest chaos.
Drivers can submit complaints:
- select the race
- select involved drivers
- add timestamps
- add explanations
- optionally add short clips
Admins get:
- a review dashboard
- quick decision tools:
- no action
- warning
- time penalty
- points deduction
- DQ for the race
GridPilot updates everything automatically:
- recalculates standings
- adjusts team points
- logs penalties visibly
Admins stay in full control — GridPilot just removes the manual work.
7. Optional: Session Creation QoL
Automation is optional — but powerful for admins who want it.
One-click creation of:
- practice sessions
- race sessions
- full season batches
Benefits:
- no repetitive form filling
- consistent settings
- saves hours every season
- always under admin control
GridPilot acts as an assistant, not a bot.
Admins keep full responsibility.
8. Roster & Driver Management
Admins can:
- view complete roster
- assign drivers to teams
- manage substitutes
- approve/reject sign-ups
- track attendance
- see driver stats for performance evaluation
Helps maintain a healthy community and balanced competition.
9. Transparency & Trust
GridPilot creates structure admins normally have to enforce manually:
- clear point systems
- visible penalties
- visible rules
- logged decisions
- consistent standings
- predictable schedules
- no lost messages or hidden complaints
This removes accusations of favoritism or unfairness.
Admins gain presence, not stress.
10. Zero Technical Overhead
No coding.
No servers.
No spreadsheets.
No HTML.
No spreadsheets.
No setup.
Admins simply:
- create a league
- configure the season
- share the league link
- run the races
- GridPilot handles the rest
11. What GridPilot Is Not for Admins
- not a replacement for your Discord community
- not a stewarding system (no live stewarding)
- not intrusive automation
- not a tool that changes racing behavior
- not a way to manipulate results
We respect the league → we just make it manageable.
