LapSmith v0.1.1
What's new in v0.1.1
- Fixed importing the Nexus "Forza Horizon 6 Car ID List" — both the JSON and the semicolon-delimited CSV now import correctly (names were previously stored as raw records).
- Fixed the setup window stretching far too wide.
- Added a selectable target class in setup (was auto-only).
LapSmith is a free, telemetry-driven tuning assistant for Forza Horizon 6. It reads the game's Data Out feed and your tyre Heat page and tells you the exact change to make next — one tweak per lap — until the car stops getting faster. You drive and type the values in yourself. It only reads telemetry and the screen; it never injects, automates input, or modifies the game.
This is the first public release. It's had a lot of my own testing but not much outside use yet, so if you hit something odd, please open an issue — that's a huge help.
Downloads
LapSmith-Setup.exe — installer with a Start-menu shortcut and uninstaller. Recommended.
LapSmith-0.1.1-portable.zip — no install; unzip anywhere and run LapSmith.exe.
First run
The app is unsigned, so the first time you run it Windows SmartScreen will say "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway. If you use the portable zip, right-click it → Properties → Unblock before extracting.
It comes back clean on VirusTotal (0 of 68 engines): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/10b811875070296cf1f5c7f4666cc2e20818fe55b85857acbfa67511436753e8/detection
Setup

Notes
LapSmith is free and always will be — nothing is locked behind a payment. If it saves you time and you want to chip in, there's an optional tip jar: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatekillcam
