Racenet 2026?
Are we going to get an updated Racenet for the 2026 cars? It only shows the 2025 Time Trial performance at the moment.
Frustratingly, Racenet seems to be a really neglected feature for the game. It should be capable of so much more, and a lot of third party developers are putting Codemasters/EA to shame when it comes to using UDP features and telemetry.
SimRacingSetups, P1 Telemetry and so many more apps provide users with even more telemetry detail than Racenet currently does, and they do it for every single session, not just Time Trail.
P1 Telemetry even records every lap for every driver in the session for comparison. It provides you with really useful information on your tyre wear, fuel usage, ERS deployment behaviour, grip/G-force levels/steering input, and even analyses laps and tells you exactly where you are gaining and losing time.
It shows a complete statistical breakdown of the entire race. This is all information that is readily available from the game's UDP Telemetry data.
For 2026, it is more vital than ever to be able to see how and why your driving, deployment and LICO strategies are contributing to your laptime and race performance. This information is right there in the game, and yet it is being wasted by the developers.
Can we look at expanding Racenet to all sessions? This would be a fantastic tool for Career modes and league racers to be improving their pace. It should be a great feature for practice sessions, especially since Time Trial is no longer relevant to race performance.
I would even be happy to pay a subscription for this in the app. The other developers are charging for it, so why are Codemasters/EA leaving revenue on the table?
