Ukrainian and Russian interface

Choose English, Ukrainian, or Russian in Settings. GridSherpa remembers the choice in your browser and localizes navigation, filters, schedule and Today views, race details, the personal planner, buying and season reports, calendar controls, and date and time formatting while keeping official iRacing names and shared URLs unchanged.

Build your own race plan

The new Plan tab turns the season schedule into a personal calendar. Click a date to see only races available that day, or use Add race to bind any series and track to a custom date and time. Plan repeated attempts, catch overlaps before saving, and export a one-time .ics snapshot to your phone or computer calendar. Your plan stays in your browser until you choose to export it.

Today's races, three ways

The new Today tab shows the current day's schedule in your selected timezone, with the full filter set and three focused layouts: responsive Cards, a structured List, and compact Decks with one current session per card.

Track maps on every race

Open any race and you'll now see a map of that exact circuit layout — the racing line, the start/finish line, and the surrounding venue — drawn for hundreds of tracks in your current theme.

See when the next race starts

The race details now show the next session's real start in your local time ("in 20 minutes", "Sat, Aug 2, 4:00 PM") instead of the simulator's in-session clock. Once a week's races are over, no time is shown.

This Week, easier to scan

The This Week page now orders categories the usual way — sports cars, formula, oval, then dirt — and every section collapses with a tap, remembering what you've hidden the next time you open it.

Install GridSherpa as an app

Add GridSherpa to your phone's home screen and it opens full-screen like a native app — no browser bar, straight to the schedule, with its own icon. On iPhone, tap Share then “Add to Home Screen”; on Android, your browser offers to install it. It still works the same in any normal browser tab.

A heads-up when data may be stale

If the season schedule hasn't been refreshed recently — or has run past its last published week — a small banner now says so, so you always know whether you're looking at current data.

Honest labels for count-only series

Some official series (NASCAR, INDYCAR, the dirt tours) publish only a weekly number of sessions, not specific days or times. Those now read “N slots/week — day/time not published” instead of implying a fixed race time the schedule never gave.

A faster, smoother week view

The week grid now renders far fewer cards at once and fills in as you scroll, so even the busiest weeks open quickly and stay responsive on phones and laptops alike.

About & how the schedule is built

A new About page explains where the data comes from, how race times are converted to your timezone, how the buying guide ranks value, and how to send a correction.

Sort and week-view controls

Sort each day by start time or by series name, in either direction, and choose whether races rolling over from the previous week appear in the current one — so the grid matches how you actually plan.

See previous races in Deck view

Deck view can now show a series' already-run weeks alongside its upcoming ones, so you can see a season's full arc at a glance instead of only what's ahead.

Subscribe or embed a filtered schedule

Published race starts now have a stable calendar subscription, and the home page has a no-code live embed builder for leagues, teams, and creators.

Safer schedule updates and honest freshness

Schedule imports are now fully parsed and validated before going live, while health checks report the source PDF, import date, series count, and whether the data is current.

Exact times on all-week series

For series that run continuously, boundary days now show the real local clock window (for example, “until 4:00 PM”) instead of a vague “evening only” — converted to your own timezone, daylight saving included.

Track price, ownership and layouts on every race

Open any race and its track now shows whether it is free with membership or a paid license (with the price), whether you already own it, and every layout the venue offers — with the one this race uses highlighted.

Car Buying Guide

The Buy Guide now has a Cars view alongside Tracks: every car ranked by scheduled series-week appearances this season, so repeated use across the season is reflected. Filter it by track to see what you would need for a given venue.

This Week in iRacing

A new page with a clean rundown of everything racing this week — endurance events highlighted, then every series by category, all in your local time. It refreshes itself as the race week rolls over.

Season Report

A shareable, by-the-numbers snapshot of the season: most-raced tracks, best-value track buys, free-to-race content, and rookie-friendly series — with one-click image export for sharing.

What changed this season

A season-comparison page showing which series, tracks, and cars were added or removed versus last season. It becomes available once a prior season has been archived.

Export races to your calendar

Download any series schedule — or your whole filtered view — as an ICS file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, in your own timezone.

Per-car-class calendars

Dedicated, filterable calendars for every car class this season — GT3, GT4, LMP2, endurance, IMSA, NASCAR, and more — each at its own shareable link.

Track Buying Guide

Every official iRacing track ranked by scheduled series-week appearances this season, with price, included-track status, and ownership tracking to help decide what is worth buying.

Dark and light themes

Switch between a dark and a light theme, or let GridSherpa follow your device — your choice is remembered and applied before the page even paints, so there's no bright flash.

Favorite series and tracks

Star the series and tracks you care about to keep them front of mind. Favorites live in your browser — no account, no sign-in.

Search and filter the whole season

Find anything fast with a search box plus filters for category, license, car, track, day, and time of day — combine them to narrow the season to exactly what you race.
