GridCard is a sim racing companion for Low Fuel Motorsport (LFM) and Le Mans Ultimate (LMU) drivers. Driver card, leaderboard, race schedule, journal and milestones in one app, most of it free. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS • Low Fuel Motorsport (LFM) • Le Mans Ultimate (LMU), via the free Windows companion DRIVER CARD Your card holds your username, country, race number, team tag, equipment and platform stats, including the LMU Driver and Safety ratings, in light or dark. Ranking up unlocks metal card frames on any account, Bronze through Platinum and above, and PRO animates them. LEADERBOARD The Ranks tab opens on a podium of the top three with the field below it, sorted by total races, wins, podiums or Driver Rating per sim. Each sim keeps its own rating board: ACC, AC, AMS2, RaceRoom, AC EVO and LMU. A card above the board shows where you stand, your percentile and the past week's move. The same standing arrives weekly as a notification. Free accounts see the top 10 and PRO opens the rest. Showing up is optional and can be turned off in Settings. SHARING Every card has a public link at gridcard.site/c/your-handle. It opens in any browser, so nobody needs the app. PRO shares single race results the same way. Links can be revoked. RACE SCHEDULE The week's LFM and LMU races in your local timezone. Pin the sims you follow to move them up front. MILESTONES & REFERRALS (FREE) Milestones cover races, wins, card reach, referrals, LMU ranks and your best position on each board, and up to three sit on your card. Every account carries a referral code: enter a friend's code, link a sim, and you start on PRO. Each friend who joins earns more PRO time and a referral frame. RACE JOURNAL The journal is open to everyone: the latest race, the weekly streak and milestones cost nothing. PRO opens the full history: every session with finish position, fastest lap, rating change, full race result standings, and notes on mood, focus and energy. Races sync on their own once accounts are linked, LMU through the Windows companion. Push notifications for finished LMU races go to every account. EQUIPMENT Pick your wheelbase, rim, pedals, rig, seat and display from the hardware catalogue, and show it on your public card if you want. ACCOUNT Accounts are anonymous: no email, no password and no third-party login. The session that identifies you sits in your device's secure storage, and a recovery code from Settings moves it to a new device. PRIVACY The app reads public stats from the platforms you link. There is no cross-app or cross-site tracking, no advertising and no analytics. The leaderboard shows your username, country and sim stats to other drivers and can be turned off. Settings → Data & Privacy deletes the account and everything in it. GRIDCARD PRO Most of GridCard is free. PRO adds: • Full race journal, every session, synced automatically • Post race classification for every race • The whole leaderboard past the top 10, plus a jump to your row • Lap-by-lap LMU detail: sector times and end-of-race tire wear • Post-race debrief with the Driver and Safety rating impact • Per-track lap records and lap-time goals • Rating, pace and consistency charts over time • Per-session notes on mood, focus and energy • Animated rank frames and seven animated card backgrounds • Race results shared as their own public link WINDOWS COMPANION (FREE) LMU race sync runs through the free GridCard Companion for Windows. It watches the Results folder and uploads finished races, and pairing takes one code from the app. Get it at https://gridcard.site/companion. Terms of Use (EULA): https://gridcard.site/legal/agb-en.html Privacy Policy: https://gridcard.site/legal/datenschutz-en.html GridCard PRO is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings.
