Built by a racer who kept getting the fuel wrong.

I'm Matt Mosse-Robinson. I run an e-commerce business by day and race by night, in the real world and in Gran Turismo 7.
The real-world part: multiple NSW state karting titles, twice a 24 Hours of Karting champion, and race wins in the Series X3 Hyundai Excel category in the number 69 car.
The GT7 part is where this app came from. I kept losing races I should have won, not on pace but on arithmetic: a litre short and coasting on the last lap, or ten litres over and sitting in the pits while the field went past. A real race engineer would never let that happen, so I built one that reads the telemetry your PS5 already broadcasts and does the sums out loud.
On the record
- Multiple NSW state karting titles
- 24 Hours of Karting champion, twice
- Series X3 NSW Hyundai Excel race winner, car 69
- GT7 on PS5 with PS VR2 and a direct-drive wheel
What the app is, and is not
VR Race Engineer is a passion project, built and tested at my own rig on the Central Coast of New South Wales. It is free, it collects nothing, and it does one job: fuel, tyres and strategy in your ear so you can race heads-up. It is not affiliated with Sony or Polyphony Digital.
If it saves you one race, it has done its job. If it gets something wrong, tell me on the Discord, by email at matt@stocura.com, or through the support page.
