Pit Wall

Pit Wall

You drive in Assetto Corsa. Backseat Champions: Rookie Edition runs your race.

Pit Wall puts a race-engineer pit wall in the sim and hands your strategy to Backseat Champions — its rules, its voice and its teams, read live out of your own installed copy of it while you drive.

What you get

• Its tyre compounds. Standard, Fast, Durable, Experimental and Wet, each shown with the description Backseat Champions itself gives it, turned into real wear over your driving. A set of Standards will see out a race; a set of Fasts is gone in a handful of laps.
• Its engineer. Every line on the radio is an actual Backseat Champions conversation out of your copy of the game: the pre-race radio check, "Tire grip is degrading", "Box box, box box", "We've got a puncture!", the undercut paying off — and a different conversation for each of the first twelve finishing positions.
• Its teams. Your pit wall flies a real Backseat Champions team in that team's own colours, from its livery files. Teams you built yourself in Backseat Champions are picked up too.
• Its strategy. Tyre life, the boost-per-sector meter, the pit call, the stop, overtakes, and undercut or overcut judged against the AI field you are actually racing in Assetto Corsa.
• One click, one race. Press Play and the sim opens on track in a car and at a circuit you already own, with the pit wall up and the engineer on the radio.

How the two games meet

Assetto Corsa is the host: Pit Wall installs as an app in its own apps/python folder and switches itself on in Assetto Corsa's python.ini. Backseat Champions is the companion: Melty hands over its folder, and Pit Wall reads the radio conversations, the compound descriptions, the panel's wording and the teams straight out of it — in whatever language your copy is set to.

Nothing from either game is shipped or altered. Every player's Pit Wall speaks from their own two copies, and the sim's physics are untouched: what Pit Wall adds is the strategy, the engineer and the pit wall around your own driving.

Single player. Needs Assetto Corsa and Backseat Champions: Rookie Edition installed.
