irSetupDiffer
irSetupDiffer is an iRacing setup comparison tool that loads setups directly from iRacing or from saved telemetry (IBT) files.
Compare two setups for the same car and track in iRacing, with differences displayed in a clear and easy-to-understand format. This makes it an excellent tool for drivers looking to improve their setup building skills, as it shows exactly what changes have been made between setups and how those changes might affect the car's performance.
Teams will find it particularly useful for setup sharing and comparison to determine the optimal setup for any particular track.

How to Use
Setups can be loaded from two different sources: directly from iRacing, or from a saved telemetry file.
Loading from Telemetry Files
Once installed, you will see two buttons for loading iRacing telemetry IBT files. Click either button and use the file browser to select an IBT file from the Documents/iRacing/Telemetry folder. Most users have telemetry enabled, making this an excellent source of historic setups.
When a file is loaded, the setup information will be displayed in the list. When a second different file is loaded, the setups will be compared and differences will be shown on the right-hand side.
Loading from iRacing
When iRacing is running, the iRacing buttons will be enabled. Click either button to load the current iRacing setup, which will be displayed in the corresponding window panel.
You can load setups from any source, in any order, on either side of the comparison.
To view only the differences between setup parameters, toggle the "Filter Differences" switch.
iRacing Snapshots
Click an iRacing button to load the current iRacing setup (on either the left or right-hand side). After making changes to your setup, click the other iRacing button to load a new snapshot and compare. A timestamp will show when the snapshot was taken.
System Requirements
- Windows 11
- iRacing subscription (for live setup loading)
