iRacing Control Profile Bindings
Sep 18, 2026
Magnifying glass over the active steering-wheel control profile beside the iRacing and DRE logos.

No more mirroring iRacing and DRE binds. DRE now reads the active saved iRacing profile and uses its current binding for supported voice requests and optional DRE controller actions. The feature is available now.

Switch iRacing profiles. DRE follows.

In the video, a profile change is saved in iRacing before a voice request in-car. DRE reads the current binding and responds, “Previous channel set.”

 

 

Keep control changes in iRacing

A profile can be car-specific or use the global default. DRE follows whichever saved profile is active. During a session, Save and Apply & Close update the binding DRE uses.

You still edit bindings in iRacing. Your physical keyboard continues to send input directly to the simulator, while DRE-global shortcuts and custom Command Binds remain separate.

 

 

Check the current binding

Open Controls > Sim to see the binding DRE has read. The value is read-only.

If a binding is missing, controller-only, or unsupported, DRE explains the limitation rather than guessing which input to use.
