RBR Pacenote Lab is a data-driven tool for generating fully customizable co-driver pacenotes for the Richard Burns Rally simulator. It offers precision, flexibility, and full compatibility with any co-driver system.
Save up to 75% of your time — if creating notes for a 15 km stage used to take over 2 hours, expect to finish in just 30–45 minutes.
If existing pacenotes don’t suit your driving style, or if building your own feels too complex, this tool can help. It lets you generate a clean, personalized base with minimal effort — no need to start from scratch.
Let the software handle the precision and structure so you can focus on reviewing and refining.
