Link Your iRacing Account to iRacePlan for Better Security and Future Features

We’re excited to announce a major step forward for iRacePlan: you can now securely link your iRacing account to your iRacePlan profile. This is more than just a new login option, it’s a foundation for better security, a smoother experience, and many powerful features coming soon.

Whether you’re a solo driver planning your races or a team manager coordinating multiple drivers, this update ensures that your iRacePlan account is tightly connected to your iRacing profile, eliminating confusion and unnecessary manual work.

🎯 Why This Change?

Until now, iRacePlan accounts were separate from iRacing. While this worked for basic usage, it required more manual steps and occasionally created problems, such as mismatched profiles or duplicate driver entries in teams.

By introducing official iRacing OAuth integration, we’re addressing these issues while preparing for the future. Linking your account is a small step for you, but it’s a giant leap for the platform.

🧠 What Linking Your Account Does

• ✅ Better security: Ensures that every iRacePlan account corresponds to a verified iRacing user.
• ⏱️ Less manual setup: No more re-entering information or searching for drivers in your team. Linking automatically connects your identity.
• 🚀 Foundation for future features: Enables advanced functionality like automatic profile synchronization, smarter stint planning, and more robust team tools.

This is not only about improving today’s experience, it’s about preparing for what’s next.

⚠️ Important for Existing Users

If you already use iRacePlan, you will need to link your account before you can continue using the platform. Don’t worry, it’s quick and painless:

1. Log into iRacePlan as you normally would.
2. You’ll be redirected to a page with a “Link Account” button.
3. Click the button and sign in with your iRacing credentials through the official login page.
4. Once confirmed, your iRacing account will be securely linked to iRacePlan.

This is a one-time step. After linking, you’ll be able to keep using iRacePlan exactly as before but with a smoother, more secure experience.

💡 Why This Matters

Linking your account is not just a requirement; it’s a major improvement for how iRacePlan works:

• 🔒 Security first: Your account is now protected from potential mismatches or impersonation.
• 🛠 Less manual work: Driver identity is now guaranteed and instantly recognized in teams and strategies.
• 📈 Smarter features: This integration opens the door for fully automated data syncing, real-time profile updates, and better collaboration within teams.

These updates wouldn’t be possible without this integration. By linking now, you’re helping us build a stronger foundation for the future of iRacePlan.
