When restarting DRE while in ACC, DRE takes a long time before connecting after restart.
The workaround is to pause the sim so it shows the in-car pause menu, before restarting DRE.
If you missed this step, you can either wait a few minutes, or restart the simulator session, by going back to the main menu.
If nothing happens for a while, try exiting out to ACC main menu and then start the session again.
DRE reads the active saved iRacing profile for supported voice requests and optional controller actions, including changes you save during a session.
Introduced in 2026.4.0, Smart Turn and Acoustic Echo Cancellation handle natural pauses and speaker feedback more reliably, helping you finish voice commands and interrupt DRE while driving.
DRE 2026.3.0 brings your league’s Pro, Pro-Am, Am, and other custom classes into live race information, the roster, track map, and Analytics.
DRE now catches brake + throttle overlap in braking zones and gives one short sound cue when it happens.
DRE v2026.2.0 adds full Assetto Corsa support, Braking Overlap coaching, adjustable pit speeding offsets, app keybind control, faster startup, and fixes.
DRE 2026.1 is live with pit stall location alerts before pitting, rollback installs when moving down release lanes, no Neural word caps, faster chat recall, and Turkish support.
Le Mans Ultimate now works with DRE, bringing voice race engineering, spotter awareness, fuel guidance, and quick mid-race answers into LMU.
Tired of memorizing exact voice commands? DRE’s new Neural and Hybrid recognition lets you speak naturally. Your race engineer just got a whole lot smarter.
