Callouts

Every callout a voice pack’s callouts.json may script, keyed by the id you write under scenarios. Each entry below is half code and half script: the description, trigger, frame, weight and scheduling come from the callout’s contract in iRaceDeck’s code — the part a pack cannot change — and Says and Hear it are the comment and test lines of the reference voice — default, the voice iRaceDeck publishes. Every Hear it line starts with the scenario harness — the tool in the iRaceDeck repository that fires a callout through the real engine without iRacing; the tutorial has the command that starts it and the IRACEDECK_VOICE_PACKS_PATH variable that makes it load your pack. The references at the end are what that entry draws on, its included fragments walked, so you can see which lines to record and which vocabulary it names; a pool links to its line on the recording script.

Callouts are grouped by family. Callouts in one family preempt each other whatever their weights, so a newer one replaces a family-mate that is still playing; the callouts with no family come last. When a callout stays silent in your voice, read its description and its Hear it line before touching your entry — a callout is triggered by the code, and your entry is consulted only after that trigger has fired. A callout marked Re-checked at speak time asks that question again in code after your script has expanded — it is not something a script can switch off, and a script if over the same condition is allowed but no longer needed. A callout marked Ends when is ended early by the moment it names: a waiting one is dropped, and one already being spoken is cut off and its frame’s cut tail played (the format has what that tail is). See A correct script can be silent.

This page is generated from the code and the reference voice’s script, and a test fails when the two drift apart, so it matches the release it documents.

168 callouts in 32 groups; the reference voice scripts 168 of them.

corner-name

Callouts in the corner-name family preempt each other: a newer one replaces one of the same family that is still playing, whatever their weights.

pit-crew.corner-name-approaching

Your car reaches the point about a second (the configured lead) before a named corner in a practice or test session, once per corner per lap; qualifying and races stay silent.

Says: The upcoming corner's bare name, spoken about a second before it in practice and test sessions — one clip, no radio frame, because at that lead the beeps would eat the whole margin. The name is the whole callout: a corner the voice has no clip for is skipped rather than half-said, and a pack that wants a lead-in puts it before the name here.

Hear it: Harness → Corner Names → Eau Rouge (or Turn 5). In-sim: a practice session on a track with corner data, Corner names enabled; the name plays on the approach to each corner.

Variables

{{cornerName.clip}}

damage

Callouts in the damage family preempt each other: a newer one replaces one of the same family that is still playing, whatever their weights.

pit-crew.damage-repair-needed

Your car takes damage that keeps the repair indicator lit for three seconds, and again only after a repair; the line waits for any incident being reported then and is skipped if already repaired.

Trigger

damage.repairNeeded.raised

Re-checked at speak time

The car still needs a repair when the call comes to speak — the repair indicator has not settled as cleared — or the damage state is not known yet.

pit-crew.caution-extra-lap

The race leader crosses the line under caution and the one-to-go flag does not come with it, so the caution has been extended past the two laps it defaults to.

Says: The caution has been extended past the two laps it defaults to — one of three ways of saying the field is going around again. Never a lap count: nothing in the sim says how many are left, so each extra lap is reported as it happens.

Hear it: Harness → Flags → Caution → extra lap, with the race session and hot-lap presets — expect it after the leader's extra crossing, before the one-lap-to-green line. In-sim: an admin adds a pace lap (!pacelaps +1) after the pickup.

Pools

caution/extra-lap

pit-crew.caution-field-caught

Two to green: the waving caution goes static at the leader's crossing, a lap before the one-to-go flag, in a race with you live in the car; silent where both flags land on one tick (road courses).

voice/{voice} — a bare clip path resolves inside the active voice's folder

Says: Two to green — the pace car has finished its pickup lap, which on an oval is one leader crossing before the one-to-go flag. "Two to green." always speaks; then, only with a car ahead in your own line, an optional clause naming it ("Make sure to follow" and the number — with the pace car the only thing ahead the clause is left out). No position here: that moved to pit-crew.caution-position, on the last lap. The optional clause is safe because the sentence outside it always speaks — the rule an optional clause has to meet. On a road course the contract keeps this silent (one to green rises on the same tick there), so the pack never chooses.

Hear it: Harness → Flags → Caution → restart, with the race session and hot-lap presets — expect "Two to green." and "…follow car eight" a few seconds after the pace-car line. In-sim: the waving caution goes static as the pace car gathers the field, about a lap and a half in, on an oval.

Says: One lap to green, with the restart lineup. Leading: "One lap to green. You're leading them away." On the front row with only the pace car ahead but not the leader — the outside car of a double-file restart — a plain "One lap to green.", since telling P2 it leads would be wrong. Otherwise the lane and the car ahead, read from the pace rows at speak time: inside or outside on an oval running double file, and "Line up behind" with no lane anywhere else or single file. A car ahead the session cannot name gets the plain "One lap to green." too — this is the one call that must never come out as nothing, so it asks caution.hasFollowCarNumber before choosing a numbered wording rather than leaving the number to an optional clause alone, which expands to silence when there is no number to say. The numbered wordings already contain the words "One lap to green", which is why the fallback replaces them rather than preceding them.

Hear it: Harness → Flags → Caution → restart, with the race session and hot-lap presets — a double-file lineup, so expect "One lap to green. … behind car eight", with the lane when the preset's track is an oval; Caution → lineup change re-forms single file and hears the plain wording. With no session preset the run is refused, and with the practice preset (a player car but an empty driver list) the car ahead cannot be named, so expect the bare "One lap to green." In-sim: the one-to-go flag on the last caution lap.

A fuel-bit flip while autofuel is armed says nothing at all, so these four lines are the only fuel news in that window.

Hear it: Harness: mute — the Overtakes buttons fire the reaction but the harness has no live position, so this readout has nothing to say there. In-sim: pass a car in a race outside the top three; the reaction (when it rolls) is followed by the current position, and a second pass within half a minute reads the bare number.

Says: An incident on a counted qualifying lap: the invalidated line always, then — only in lap-limited qualifying, where a count means something — a tail for how many counted laps remain: out of laps, one to five by count (each a whole sentence with its own encouragement), or plenty above five. The tail is a whole clause, so an if with no else is right for it; a count the case has no key for says nothing. One callout per lap however many incidents; silent on out-laps and beyond the counted attempts.

Hear it: Harness → Scenario Shortcuts → Qualifying Invalidation → Off-Track — 3 laps left (Contact-Car — 1 lap left, Off-Track — out of laps, Off-Track — plenty of laps, Off-Track — time-limited for the other tails; the four (silent) buttons and Same Lap Again (latch) for the suppressions).

The greeting is optional because names are a union across voices and the result reads whole without it; the position number is part of the last line and stays required. Deferred behind a same-lap best-lap readout rather than cutting it — the race is over either way.

voice/{voice} — a bare clip path resolves inside the active voice's folder

Says: The grid brief a few seconds into a race session: the driver's name, the starting position (from pole, or qualifying put us to P N), the track and air temperatures, the track wetness, and a setup nudge when the loaded setup looks like a qualifying one. Every clause is optional because each is a whole clause the brief reads true without — a name, a position number or a temperature the voice cannot say, or iRacing has not reported yet, drops its own clause and nothing else; the position branch is a case inside its clause so a pack can rephrase pole and composed apart. The wetness branches on whether iRacing has reported it: known, it is read out; still unknown when the brief speaks, the engineer says so rather than leaving the track unmentioned.

Hear it: Harness → Scenario Shortcuts → Race Start → Race start — P5, with the race session preset (Race start — P1 (pole), Race start — P65 (out of range) and Race start — no position for the other position branches; the setup nudge has no harness route — In-sim: load a setup whose name matches the qualifying pattern under Setup Warning Patterns).

Both branches are read at speak time, so a deferred update is never stale. The number is part of the sentence and stays required.

Hear it: Harness → Scenario Shortcuts → Race → Status update (P5 on lap 7) or Leader status (P1 on lap 6) — both are MUTE in the harness, which has no live position for the readout to speak, so only the fire attempt shows in the log.

voice/{voice} — a bare clip path resolves inside the active voice's folder

Says: The pace car has started moving the field onto the formation lap of a rolling start, and who you form up behind, read from the pace rows at the moment it is spoken. On pole: "Pace car's rolling. You're on pole — just you and the pace car." With only the pace car ahead in your own line but not leading — typically the outside car of a double-file front row — "Pace car's rolling. Nothing ahead of you but the pace car.", since that car is not on pole and nothing establishes its row. Otherwise the lane and the car ahead: "Inside line, behind" or "Outside line, behind" on an oval running double file, "Form up behind" with no lane anywhere else or single file, and then the number — a clip of its own that says "car" and the number, spoken the way the sim spells it. With no lineup to read, or a car ahead the session cannot name, one of the five numberless lines ("…get moving and follow the car ahead."): the call asks rollingStart.hasFollowCarNumber before choosing a numbered wording, because the lead-in and the number are one optional clause and an optional clause alone expands to nothing. Race-only and live in the car; it waits behind a line in progress rather than being dropped, and stays unsaid once the formation is over.

Hear it: Harness → Scenario Shortcuts → Rolling Start → Formation (oval, two laps), with the race session preset on an oval — expect "Pace car's rolling" with the lane and "behind car …" as the field rolls; Rolling Start → Pace car moving fires the event alone, and speaks only while a formation is running.

The greeting, the pit-speed limit, both temperatures and the nudge are optional because each is a whole clause the brief reads true without: a name, a limit or a temperature the voice cannot say, or iRacing has not reported yet, drops its own clause and nothing else.

The spotter engine picks the clip for the exact transition and hands it over as the spotterClip var, so the call is that one step; it cuts anything in flight and is never replayed late. No radio frame: the beeps would drown a call that has to land at once.

Close up on", "You've dropped back. Catch up to" — and the number of the car ahead, a clip of its own that says "car" and the number, spoken the way the sim spells it. No lane: the lane has not changed, and this call is about distance. A car ahead the session cannot name gets "Close the gap to the car ahead." or "You've dropped back. Close it up." instead: the lead-in and the number are one optional clause, and an optional clause alone expands to nothing, so the call asks caution.hasFollowCarNumber first. Whether the gap is open is the translator's decision and the contract's speak-time check, never the script's — a call that waited for the bus is dropped once you have closed up.

A new car ahead the session cannot name gets "The car ahead of you has changed." — asked through caution.hasFollowCarNumber before the lane is chosen, because an optional clause alone expands to nothing.

The number is caution.racePosition, the live race position at the moment it is spoken, NOT caution.restartPosition: a lapped car lined up ahead of you is behind you in the race, and the number your display shows is the race one (a 2026-09-19 test heard "P21" in a 20-car field from the lineup, with the display on P19). The WHOLE call is one optional clause, and here that is correct rather than the empty-sequence defect the other caution entries guard against: a position call with no position — no running order to read, or a field past the spoken range — has nothing true to say, so saying nothing IS the right sentence. Do not add a fallback wording outside the clause.

Hear it: Harness → Flags → Caution → restart, with the race session and hot-lap presets — expect "We're currently seven" a couple of seconds after the one-lap-to-green line (the button patches per-car lap progress at one to go so the race order can rank you; the hot-lap preset alone carries none).

Says: A same-class car one to three places ahead in the race, within the driver's Opponent flag range, has been shown the meatball (repair) flag, named by its car number: the number clip, which already says "car", then the ahead tail. The number is part of the sentence — a car number the voice cannot say, or a car the session cannot number, skips the whole line.

Hear it: Harness → Opponent Flags → Car 42 ahead: meatball. In-sim: a same-class car one to three places ahead of you, within the Opponent flag range, is shown the meatball flag during a race.

Says: The car you form up behind changed during a rolling-start formation — a car ahead dropped out, or was passed. The caution's change line, from the same clips: "Change —" then, with only the pace car ahead now, "you're at the front now, just the pace car ahead"; otherwise the lane and the new car ahead, in three shapes (inside, outside, or no lane), each an optional clause with its number. A new car ahead the session cannot name gets "The car ahead of you has changed." — asked through rollingStart.hasFollowCarNumber before the lane is chosen, because an optional clause alone expands to nothing. The contract keeps it silent when the car ahead is the one the engineer last named in this formation, once you hold no pace row, and once the formation is over, so the pack never chooses.

Hear it: Harness → Scenario Shortcuts → Rolling Start → Formation (oval, two laps), with the race session preset on an oval — expect "Change — you're on the inside behind car …" a second and a half after the car ahead of you drops out; Rolling Start → Car ahead changed fires the event alone, and speaks only while a formation is running and the car ahead is not the one last named. In-sim: during a rolling-start formation, the car directly ahead of you in your line drops out or is sent to the end.
