In November 2025 I started working on my own system for a site like WhoWas, tracking iRacing Streamers on Twitch. |

Behold!The first version of the "Robertsmania iRacing StreamerTracker!!! I intended to make it more open to streamers/drivers who want to verify with both platforms and add/edit/remove their own entries from the data. - Kutu had done all the data entry for his system by hand?!? In addition to showing who is live, like WhoWas - I wanted to keep the data about who we see as currently Unlisted and make that easy to review and manually add people who clearly stream to an audience regularly So clicking the Unlisted History button at the top showed that in its earlyest stage. Also the Tracker Log and Collector Log buttons showed what the server processes did in their last pass at getting data, just in case you were curious about what they did... |

We setup a nifty cache approach. When the collector starts up it reads a cache of subsession data from disk. Then it gets all the subsession ids from iRacing. If there are any in the cache that are no longer active, it purges them. If there are any new ones not in the cache, it gets them.
So the goal was to get them once as soon as we see they were new, and hopefully with most of the drivers still registered. Then it uses those versions rather than re-getting them with potentially fewer drivers.
