The Multitap product guide.

Every screen, every button, and what happens when you press it. Written for venue owners, floor staff, and anyone deciding whether Multitap fits their room.

Multitap runs a sim racing venue. It starts and times sessions on every simulator, launches the games, records every lap, keeps the leaderboards and TVs current, emails your customers, posts to your Discord, takes bookings from your website, runs your leagues and hotlap challenges, and keeps every rig's content in step. This guide walks through all of it, one screen at a time, and says exactly what each button does.

How the pieces fit

Staff

Admin panel

A website at your own address. Runs on any phone, tablet or laptop. Everything is controlled from here.

Customers

Rig launcher

Full screen on every simulator, driven with the wheel. Wakes when a session is started, walks the driver to the grid.

The room

TV displays

Leaderboards, an activity feed and a broadcast spectator view. Open a link on a screen and leave it.

Your website

Public pages

Booking, driver registration, league standings, hotlap challenges and live timing, all at your venue's address and in your brand.

Everyone

VenueLaps

World times on your boards from other venues, once your venue is linked.

In the background

Email and Discord

Personal bests, records, summaries and reminders, sent on their own the moment they happen.

A lap on a rig travels like this. The in-game app records it and sends it to your venue. Your venue stores it, updates the leaderboards and the TVs, checks whether it was a record or a personal best, and if so tells the driver by email, tells your Discord, and, if you have joined, sends it to the global board. Staff see it in the Dashboard's activity feed within seconds. None of that needs anyone to do anything.

A live session opened on the Launcher page: Cockpit 1 with driver Liam Frost, time left, seat time and the add time buttons, the game with a Change link, the Track and conditions card with region, track search, track and time of day, and the Car card with class, tires, car search, car and the start of a livery strip

Reading this guide

Chapters follow the admin panel's sidebar, so if you are looking at a page in the panel, the chapter with the same name explains it. On-screen labels are shown the way they appear, like Launch or End Session. Paths tell you where to look, like Settings › Saved Sims. Keys on a rig's keyboard look like Shift + F4.

New venues should start with Getting started, which orders the setup. Prospective venues will get the clearest picture from Launcher, Groups and At the rig, which together cover a customer's visit from the desk to the chequered flag.
