Install

1. Download the installer (LollipopSetup-x.y.z.exe) and run it. It installs for your Windows user only, so it doesn't ask for admin rights.
2. Lollipop starts when it's done. From then on it's in the Start menu, and its icon sits in the system tray while it runs.

You need: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and iRacing. The desktop overlays use Microsoft Edge WebView2, which comes with Windows 11. If it's missing, Lollipop tells you where to get it.

iRacing settings

Run iRacing in Windowed or Borderless (windowed full screen) mode. Exclusive full screen and VR can't show desktop windows on top of the game. The OBS sources still work there.

First run

• Home shows whether iRacing is connected, with a live preview of every overlay. Click one for its settings.
• Turn on Demo data to see the overlays with a sample race. You don't need iRacing for that.
• Edit overlays (or Ctrl+Alt+E): drag them into place, Ctrl+mouse wheel to resize. Press it again to lock them.
• Closing the window keeps the overlays running in the tray. Double-click the tray icon to bring it back. To quit, use App › Quit Lollipop or the tray menu's Exit.
• Ctrl+K in the window: go to any page by typing its name.

Hotkeys

Ctrl+Alt+E	Edit mode: drag overlays to move them, Ctrl+mouse wheel to resize. They snap to the screen's margin and centre and to each other; hold Ctrl to place one freely.
Ctrl+Alt+H	Hide or show all overlays.
Ctrl+Alt+R	Reset the fuel numbers for this session.

The tray menu has the same, plus a checkbox per overlay and Copy OBS URL.

OBS

1. In Lollipop, open Stream › OBS layout and pick your stream's canvas size (1920×1080, 2560×1440, 3840×2160, vertical 1080×1920 or your own).
2. Drag the overlays onto the canvas. They snap to the grid, the centre and each other. Pick what each one shows while you drive, in the garage or while you watch.
3. In OBS, add a Browser source with the URL http://localhost:18500/layout, the same size as your canvas.

You can also add one browser source per overlay: the tray menu's Copy OBS URL gives you its address. OBS and Lollipop have to run on the same PC.

Team fuel sharing

On the Team page, the team owner starts a team and makes a code for each driver. The code is shown once, and Stop code disconnects that driver straight away. Each driver joins with their own code. While one of you drives, the others' fuel overlays and Pitwall show the driver's real fuel. Only teammates in the same iRacing session and the same car take part. Without a code, nothing goes online.

Updates

Lollipop checks for a new version a little after it starts, then every few hours. A new version shows on Home with what's new. Click Update now and it downloads the installer, checks that it's the real one, and installs it. It never updates by itself, and never while you're driving. Your settings stay as they are.

Questions

Does Lollipop change anything in iRacing?

No. Lollipop reads the live data iRacing offers to apps on your PC. It doesn't inject anything, read iRacing's memory or change iRacing's files, and it never logs in to your iRacing account. It only sends iRacing the commands iRacing offers every app: the fuel in the pit menu when Auto pit fuel is on, and the camera or replay when you ask for them.

Does it slow my PC down?

It's built to be light: the overlays redraw only what changes, on one capped clock. The System monitor overlay shows what your PC and iRacing use.

Where are my settings?

In %APPDATA%\Lollipop. Race review keeps your latest 50 races there too.

How do I uninstall it?

Windows Settings › Apps › Installed apps › Lollipop › Uninstall. To remove your settings too, delete %APPDATA%\Lollipop afterwards.

Does it cost anything?

No, Lollipop is free for now, with no account and no ads. A tip jar is coming soon, for anyone who'd like to chip in. Tips will be optional and won't change anything in the app.
