What's new on TheTenths — features, fixes and improvements as they ship. Have an idea for what we should build next? Let us know.
Today TheTenths crossed 10,000 laps. Every one of them was driven in a sim and sent up by the telemetry client — Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa, ACC, AC EVO and iRacing — and every one sits on a leaderboard, feeds a reference lap someone else is chasing, or gives the AI coach something real to read. Thank you to everyone who has installed the client, sent a log or told us what was broken. On to the next 10,000.
The site now speaks German and Italian alongside English, Spanish and Portuguese, and every language has an address of its own — /de, /it, /es, /pt — so search engines can find the translated pages instead of only ever seeing the English ones. Every page is translated now, the leaderboards, account pages and lap analysis included. The client's race engineer speaks both new languages too, with five German voices and two Italian ones bundled and the app window translated to match.
Every spin, off-track, oversteer and understeer the client detects is now kept per car and track instead of being forgotten when the session ends. Once laps start getting thrown out, your lap pages say which corner is doing it, whether you are losing the car or running wide, and how many invalid laps had no incident recorded at all — those were a kerb, the pit entry or contact. Corners that keep catching you out are marked with a red band on the track maps. Only you see this on your own laps; a shared lap shows none of it.
Each lap now records the car's settings. The telemetry page shows brake bias, traction control, ABS, tyre pressures and temperatures and the fuel used, the analysis page puts your car beside the reference's, and the AI analysis reads them. In the client, the new Setup widget compares them live against the reference lap — engine map, tyre compound and fuel included — so you can see what the faster lap was running before you go out.
My Sessions, under the new My Racing menu, lists every session you have driven, newest first, with the last lap and the fastest valid lap of each, and back-to-back runs in the same car at the same track folded into one. The client's Last lap and Best lap buttons open those laps straight in the browser. The navigation has been regrouped around what you are doing, and AI Coaching and the Telemetry Client have pages of their own explaining what the coach catches and how to get started. You can also delete your account, and everything in it, from your profile.
A big tidy-up of how circuits are named: each layout now sits on one leaderboard row under one name, whichever sim it was driven in — Brands Hatch Indy, the Red Bull Ring's National, Imola, Suzuka, the Nürburgring 24h and Kansai were among the ones that had been split. A lap the sim offers twice is stored once, and a lap watched through another car's camera in AMS2 no longer lands on your record. World records come from more circuits too: the site now finds the Wikipedia page for the venues people race at, instead of waiting for someone to add them by hand.
Four client releases this month. Updates are optional now: the client tells you a new version is out and installs it only when you press the button. Since then it has gained overlay layout controls, with widgets sharing a line when they fit, a reference-gear widget, the Setup widget, big pedal cues with a “prepare to brake” call ahead of the brake point, a ping reading, track grip in the weather widget, and a G notes widget for weight transfer (off by default). The coach now speaks right after each corner instead of saving it all for the line, and catches brake pumping. Every change is in the release notes.
ACC has had its own leaderboard, car list and advisor tile for a while, but the client couldn't tell it apart from classic Assetto Corsa — both publish under the same shared memory names — so the board stayed empty. The client now identifies ACC properly and logs its laps, files them under the exact car names the rest of the site uses (grouped by class, GT3 through GT4 and the rest), and reads ACC's own track-limits flag rather than guessing. A sector 3 bug that made AC and ACC laps report zero or negative is fixed too.
Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2 and iRacing have always published wind, and we were throwing it away. The client now records wind speed and bearing with every lap, shows it live on the weather overlay with an arrow along the bearing, and it appears on the laps table, the leaderboard, Recent Laps, the shared lap page and its share card — and in the context the AI race engineer reasons from. Recent Laps also picks up the finer temperature readings the leaderboard already showed.
Portuguese joins English and Spanish as a spoken language in the client, with Brazilian voices and a full set of GUI strings. Both non-English languages now cover everything the crew says rather than just lap times and session chatter: flags, the traffic spotter, weather, fuel, position, sector deltas, tyre, brake and damage reports, the debrief, and the whole per-corner coaching engine.
The client was already fetching a written coaching briefing at every session start and then quietly discarding it. It now prints the whole briefing to the console and speaks the summary line alongside the weather and reference calls. Live coaching also runs on its own faster path now, separate from the fuller write-up on the lap analysis page, so in-session advice arrives quickly and no longer gets cut off mid-sentence. And time-loss hotspots — pure telemetry maths, nothing to bill — are served even when your credit bank is empty; only the written coaching costs credits.
Reference laps, personal bests and ghosts used to be matched partly on track length, which merged layouts that happen to measure the same — Lime Rock Grand Prix, Classic and West Bend Chicane all shared one leaderboard row. Every lap now records the circuit and layout it was actually driven on, and matching uses that. It also finds your stored laps when a sim reports a bare venue name or spells a layout differently — “Grand Prix Circuit” against “Grand Prix”, or Assetto Corsa's Brands Hatch against ACC's.
Stored racing lines are now sampled roughly every 6 metres instead of 12, with a higher ceiling so the long circuits actually benefit — the Nordschleife keeps its detail instead of being flattened by the old cap. The Raw Telemetry charts that were drawing flat are fixed, and any signed-in driver can view a lap's trace.
In All Combos mode a leaderboard row is already one track-and-car pair, but clicking the track or car name sent you back up a level and lost the other half — both now open the combo's laps, like the row itself. The live gap graph no longer draws every ordinary lap as a flat line: it was floored at ±1 second, so a lap within a couple of tenths of the reference — the normal case, and the interesting one — had nowhere to show its shape.
Auto-update no longer hangs under the GUI, where it could sit in a retry loop for the rest of the session and re-download the build on every start. The window also remembers where you left it and how big it was, and the client restarts itself when you change settings so they take effect straight away.
Kicking off an AI track comparison from the Laps, Personal Bests or analysis pages now shows a live progress indicator while the AI race engineer works, so there's clear feedback during the first (uncached) analysis of a lap.
Tidied up the racing-line maps on the track analysis and telemetry views — the country flag badge now sits flush on the map without its outline for a cleaner look.
No rival lap to compare against? You can now generate an AI-estimated ideal lap from your own telemetry — the AI engineer estimates per-corner targets and synthesises a reference line, complete with hotspots and coaching.
The TheTenths Client (v1.9.6) now draws iRacing track maps via dead reckoning, so your racing line renders even where the sim doesn't hand over world coordinates directly.
