Endurance race strategy

UNDERCUT

The pit wall tool for endurance racing: live timing, the fuel model, the pit window, stint and driving-time limits — on one screen you can read from across a pit box.

What it does

Live timing, straight in

Reads the ONE TIMING feed as the race runs. Lap times, sectors, track state and driver changes arrive without anyone retyping them.

The pit window

Two plans compared: the latest you can stay out on fuel and stint limits, against the ideal stop planned back from the flag.

Fuel that matches the car

Per-driver consumption, caution laps at caution burn, splash calculations, and what you must save per lap to reach the flag.

Driving-time limits

Per driver and continuous, against the regulations for the event, with the stint clock showing what it totals if you box now or a lap later.

Caution aware

Under a full course yellow the sums change. Stint times and the pit-entry countdown switch to caution pace as it happens, not a lap late.

A race report

One command afterwards: every lap, stint, stop and driver, as a printable PDF for the debrief and the archive.

Why you can trust the numbers

25computed columns checked against the spreadsheet it replaces
0differences — every column, every lap
23documented places it deliberately differs, and why
0network calls needed to start

Undercut grew out of a strategy workbook used in real races for years. Every calculation is tested against that workbook's own cached results — all 25 computed columns of the lap table, every lap. Where it differs, it is because the sheet was wrong, and each of those is written down.

It starts without a network, needs nothing installed on the day, and keeps working if the timing feed or the internet goes away mid-session. A pit wall is not the place to discover a dependency.

What you need

Get it

Undercut is in testing with a small number of teams, and is not generally available yet. If you run an endurance programme and would like to try it, write and tell me about it — the series, the car, how you plan your stops. I will send you a licence key and the installer.

One thing to expect

The installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows will show a “Windows protected your PC” notice the first time you run it. Choose More info, then Run anyway. That warning is about a certificate I have not bought yet, not about anything the installer does.
