SimStrategist

Description

SimStrategist is a tool that displays and analyses live in-game telemetry from various racing simulators.

Compatible Simulators

• F1 (2022 / 2023 / 2024)
• Le Mans Ultimate

Usage

Connecting F1 (2022 / 2023 / 2024)

1. In the F1 game, go to Settings → Telemetry Settings.
2. Set UDP Telemetry to On.
3. Set UDP Broadcast Mode to Off.
4. Set UDP IP Address to the IP of the machine running SimStrategist (use 127.0.0.1 if on the same PC).
5. Set UDP Port to 20777.
6. Set UDP Send Rate to 20Hz (recommended).
7. Set UDP Format to match your game year (e.g. 2023).
8. Start the telemetry listener:

python3 f1/server.py

The listener receives data on UDP port 20777. Make sure your firewall allows this port if the game runs on a different machine.

Connecting Le Mans Ultimate

1. Download and install the Ultimate Telemetry Socket – JSON Telemetry Plugin from the Le Mans Ultimate community forums.
2. Place the plugin DLL in your LMU Plugins folder.
3. In the plugin configuration file, set the output host to 127.0.0.1 and port to 5100.
4. Start Le Mans Ultimate — the plugin will begin sending telemetry automatically.
5. Start the telemetry listener:

python3 lmu/server.py

The listener accepts connections on TCP port 5100 by default. To use UDP instead, run python3 lmu/server.py --udp. To change the port, add --port <number>.
