Some DRE voice commands have dynamic tags that should be swapped with a specific driver detail when spoken.

{DRIVER} is a dynamic tag in DRE command phrases that lets you target yourself or another driver.

 

A command sentence like “Start delta for {DRIVER}” can be replaced by:

  • Name / First name / Last name
    • Example: “Start delta for Verstappen”
  • Current Position (eg. P 14, position 14) / Current Class Position (eg. P 14 in class, class position 14)
    • Example: “Start delta for position 2”
  • Car number
    • Example: “Start delta for car 33”
  • Car ahead/in front/behind (for position)
    • Example: “Start delta for the car in front”
  • Car ahead/in front/behind on track
    • Example: “Start delta for behind on track”
  • Class/Overall leader
    • Example: “Start delta for the leader”
  • Contextual when following up (he, she, they)
    • Example: “Start delta for him”
