LeMansinator

A tiny Windows tool that plays dramatic music at the start of Le Mans races in iRacing.

Specifically: it plays “Also sprach Zarathustra” (or any audio file you want) at a configurable moment during the rolling start — because if you’re going to crawl behind a pace car for half a lap, you might as well make it cinematic.

This is completely unnecessary. That’s the point.


What is this?

LeMansinator connects to iRacing’s telemetry and waits for a Le Mans race session.
When the “get on grid” countdown reaches zero, it waits a user-defined number of seconds and then plays your chosen audio file once.

The idea is simple:
the pace car speed is always the same → the timing is predictable → you can sync the music perfectly.


Features

  • Detects Le Mans tracks (all configs)
  • Arms only for race sessions (no practice / quali nonsense)
  • Configurable delay (0–300 s) after grid countdown ends
  • Volume control + test playback
  • Uses any .wav or .mp3
  • Fires once per race start
  • Saves your settings automatically
  • Small window, no bloat
