What's coming

More feel.
More insight.

Track Impulse covers more than a dozen sims, from iRacing and Le Mans Ultimate to RaceRoom, rFactor 2, rally and trucks. Already shipped: the full overlay suite, a Live Coach that talks you through your laps, pit strategy with fuel saving, community lap boards, per-corner haptics across up to eight channels with per-shaker correction, and a phone companion app. This page is what comes next. The order is shaped by what users ask for most.

At a glance

Track Impulse roadmap stages Three stages. Now: work already in the build, including the overlay builder and the next stage of community laps. Next: committed features ordered by user demand. Later: direction that is not yet scheduled. NOW In the build Overlay builder, community laps NEXT Committed Ordered by demand LATER Direction Not scheduled
Now In the build right now
In progress
Overlay builder
Build your own overlay instead of picking from what ships in the box. Choose the fields you want, lay them out, style them, and save the result like any other panel. The Apex dash layout editor is the groundwork for this. The builder opens the same idea up to a blank canvas.
In progress
Community laps, the next stage
The community boards landed in v0.7.500 with every shared lap browsable by track and filterable by car. Next is making them useful at a glance: sharper filtering and sorting, more of the detail behind each lap, and a shorter path from finding a quick lap to being coached against it.
In progress
Performance Review and Live Coach in more sims
Le Mans Ultimate joined iRacing in v0.7.700 with the full lap review, corner analysis, Coach tab, spoken tips and its own community boards. ACC, Assetto Corsa EVO, Automobilista 2 and rFactor 2 are the next telemetry-rich sims in line.
Hardware Its own track
In development
TD-8 hardware module
A purpose-built 8-channel USB device for Track Impulse. Plug in, select it from the dropdown, and race. No driver setup required. Hardware-optimised for the 10 to 80Hz shaker frequency range.
Planned
More pedal haptic devices
Simagic HPR shipped in v0.6.104 and Simsonn VAM, VAM Neo and VAM Pro in v0.8.101, both driven straight over USB with no audio channel involved. Simucube ActivePedal and the SRP V-P kits are next, on the same direct telemetry approach.
Later Direction, not scheduled
Future
Setup advisor
The coach tells you how to drive the car. This tells you how to change it. The same corner analysis that spots you losing time on entry can say whether the car is pushing, loose, or riding the kerbs badly, then point at the setup change that fixes it and what it should be worth.
Future
Turbo spool & wastegate effects
A dedicated rising-frequency effect tied to turbo pressure and RPM, with a sharp release on lift, for the spool and flutter you feel in a real turbo car.
Future
Surface type detection
Modulate road texture character based on what's actually under the wheels (gravel, cobble, dirt, painted lines) using the terrain data already exposed by AC Rally, AMS2, and others. Aimed at rally and mixed-surface racing.
Future
Grip limit haptic
A distinct feel at the edge of the tyre's grip, rather than after the slide has started. The slip data already driving the wheel slip effect can be read earlier, so the seat warns you that you are about to run out of front end instead of confirming that you have.
Future
Team & endurance stint planner
Stint lengths, driver swaps and one shared fuel plan for a multi-driver entry, so the whole team works from the same numbers instead of a spreadsheet on a second monitor. Builds on the pit strategy engine that shipped in v0.7.500.
Future
Telemetry replay tuning
Record a lap and replay it inside the app to tune effects against the saved telemetry rather than driving the same corner ten times. Visualises what each effect was outputting at every point on track, so you can find missed effects and dial in sensitivity without leaving the rig.
Future
Damage & contact effects
A sharp transient on wall and car contact, plus a sustained low rumble for broken suspension or damaged components, so you feel a hit or a problem without looking at the dash.
Future
Wind sim output channel
A dedicated speed-driven output that can drive cooling fans via a USB amp. Adds wind-sim support without forcing you to run a second tool alongside Track Impulse.
Future
Web lap history dashboard
Your lap history, best times and coach findings in a browser, so you can look back at last night's stint from a desk or a phone without sitting in the rig.
Future
Gran Turismo 7
GT7 publishes telemetry over the network from a PS5, which would make it the first console sim in the lineup. Plenty of GT7 rigs already have bass shakers under them with nothing driving them properly.
Future
Forza Horizon 6
Less common in dedicated sim rigs but high community demand, reading the Forza data-out UDP telemetry feed once it ships.
