iRacing Data Driver Stats Scraper

Extract iRacing driver profiles, iRating and Safety Rating history, race results, and season standings — no iRacing account required.

Data is sourced from the iracingdata.com public API (iracing6-backend.herokuapp.com), an open community aggregator that mirrors iRacing session and leaderboard data. The actor supports four scrape modes to cover the most common use cases.

What you get

Each record includes a record_type field indicating which mode produced it:

record_type	Description
recent_race	Summary of the most recently completed races across all series
leaderboard_entry	Top-N drivers by iRating within a category
race_result	Per-driver result row for a specific race session
driver_profile	Career stats for a specific driver (by cust_id)

Key fields

• cust_id — iRacing customer ID (stable primary key)
• display_name — driver display name
• irating / irating_after / irating_delta — iRating before and after a race
• license_class — Rookie / D / C / B / A / Pro (derived from license_level)
• safety_rating / safety_rating_after — SR as a 0-4.99 float
• cpi — corners-per-incident score
• finish_position, laps_complete, incidents, champ_points — race result metrics
• track_name, car_name, season_name — session context
• event_strength_of_field — average iRating of all participants in the session

Input

Mode: recent (default)

Returns the most recently completed race sessions across all series.

{
  "mode": "recent",
  "maxItems": 15
}

maxItems caps the number of session summaries returned (max 200).

Mode: leaderboard

Returns the top-N drivers by iRating for a category.

{
  "mode": "leaderboard",
  "leaderboardCategory": "oval",
  "maxItems": 15
}

Valid categories: oval, road, dirt_oval, dirt_road, sports_car, formula_car, combined.

Each run returns up to 100 entries (the full top-100 for that category).

Mode: by_session

Fetches all per-driver results for a specific iRacing subsession ID. Returns one record per driver per session type (Practice, Qualifying, Race).

{
  "mode": "by_session",
  "subsessionId": 85685577,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Find subsession IDs from the recent mode output or from iRacing session URLs.

Mode: by_driver

Look up career stats for specific drivers by their iRacing customer ID.

{
  "mode": "by_driver",
  "custIds": ["33988", "374558"],
  "maxItems": 10
}

Note: The iracingdata.com backend indexes drivers on-demand. If a driver isn't in their database yet, they are queued and no record is returned for that run. Run again later.

Data source

Data comes from the iracingdata.com community aggregator (iracing6-backend.herokuapp.com), not directly from iRacing's servers. No iRacing account or credentials are required. The backend updates leaderboards approximately every 2 hours and ingests race results continuously.
