Stream Deck plugin for EA SPORTS WRC and DiRT Rally 2.0 on Windows
Live rally telemetry from EA SPORTS WRC and DiRT Rally 2.0 on your Stream Deck keys
Race Deck for WRC & DiRT Rally shows your stage time, the distance to the finish, your gear with ten shift lights and the four brake temperatures live on your Stream Deck keys while you drive a rally stage.
In EA SPORTS WRC it also shows punctures and each split against your best run.
One press in a key's settings turns on the game's telemetry for you instead of editing its settings files by hand, and any key can send the game key you use for headlights, reset vehicle or change view.
- Stage time and distance
- Gear and shift lights

What the keys show
Stage
Time on the stage, the distance to the finish and a progress bar, with FINISH in green once you cross the line. In DiRT Rally 2.0 rallycross it shows the current lap.
Gear & Shift Lights
A big gear number, ten shift lights and your speed. In EA SPORTS WRC the lights follow the game's own shift lights, and all blue means shift now.
Brakes
The four brake temperatures as colors laid out like the car, from blue (cold) through green to orange and red. You set the "hot" temperature (650 °C by default).
Car & Split (EA SPORTS WRC)
OK, PUNCT. or BURST for each tyre, and each split against your best run on that stage and car class: green when you are faster, red when slower.
Finish time (EA SPORTS WRC)
Your finish time, in purple for a new best. Best runs are kept on your PC; clear one stage or all of them in the key's settings.
Game Control
Headlights, reset vehicle, change view, pause or a control you name yourself. A press sends the key you assigned in the game.
A button box for rally
Every key can send the game key you choose, for example F13 or Ctrl+Shift+E, and the display keys keep showing their values. By default a key is sent only while the game is the active window, so a press never types into another window. Assign the same key in the game's controls. Keys such as F13 to F24 avoid clashes.
One press sets up the game
With the game closed, press the set-up button in a key's settings. It finds the game's settings in your Documents folder (OneDrive too), turns the telemetry on (DiRT VR settings too) and keeps a copy of the original file.
In EA SPORTS WRC it runs alongside another telemetry app: the setup leaves that app's lines as they are. Until data arrives, a key shows NO DATA with its port, and the Status line in its settings says what is missing.
The game's values are only received on your PC and never sent anywhere. The only thing that goes online is the license key check.
Set up in 3 steps
- Open the plugin file you download after buying. The Stream Deck app installs it.
- In the Stream Deck app, drag Stage, Gear, Brakes or Car & Split onto your Stream Deck and enter your license key once in a key's settings.
- Start the game once and close it. Then press "Set up EA SPORTS WRC" or "Set up DiRT Rally 2.0" in a key's settings, start the game and drive a stage: the keys show your car as soon as the stage starts.

Questions
How do I show EA SPORTS WRC telemetry on a Stream Deck?
Start EA SPORTS WRC once, go past its first screen and close it. Drag a Stage, Gear, Brakes or Car & Split key of Race Deck for WRC & DiRT Rally onto your Stream Deck, press "Set up EA SPORTS WRC" in its settings, then start the game again and drive a stage. The keys show your car as soon as the stage starts.
Do I have to edit the game's telemetry settings files by hand?
No. One press of the set-up button in a key's settings finds the game's settings in your Documents folder (OneDrive too), turns the telemetry on and keeps a copy of the original file. To undo, put back the copy whose name ends in .bak.
Does it work with DiRT Rally 2.0?
Yes. Press "Set up DiRT Rally 2.0" with the game closed, and Stage, Gear and Brakes show your car while you drive; in rallycross the Stage key shows the current lap. Car & Split needs EA SPORTS WRC, because DiRT Rally 2.0 sends no tyre states or splits.
How do I use my Stream Deck as a button box for headlights or reset vehicle?
Put a Game Control key on your Stream Deck, choose Headlights, Reset vehicle, Change view, Pause or your own control, and enter the key you assigned in the game's controls (for example F13). By default the key is sent only while the game is the active window.
Why do my keys say NO DATA?
The games send telemetry only while you drive, so NO DATA in menus, pauses and between stages is normal. If it shows while you drive, for example after an EA SPORTS WRC update, press the set-up button in the key's settings again and restart the game.
How many PCs can I use with one license key?
Up to 3 of your own PCs. If you replace a PC, write to us and we free up a place for the new one.
How do I get new versions if I buy direct?
Download the latest version from your thank-you page or the license key page you received. Your license key keeps working. If you cannot open your license key page, email us as the "Recover your license key" page explains.
What if I lose my license key?
Email contact@gramshift.com from the address you paid with, and include your order number, or the date and amount you paid. We check the purchase and reply with a link to your license key page.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, for a direct purchase. If the plugin does not work on your PC or with your game, email us within 14 days of purchase and we refund the full amount. The license key stops working after the refund.

Limits
- PC versions of the games only, not PlayStation or Xbox. Windows only.
- Car & Split needs EA SPORTS WRC: DiRT Rally 2.0 sends no tyre states or splits. It also sends no shift point, so there the shift lights run from 75 to 96 percent of maximum RPM.
- DiRT Rally 2.0 sends to one port only: if another app uses it, the set-up button shows that app's port, so run one app at a time.
- Sent keys do not reach a game running as administrator, and anti-cheat software may ignore them or hide the game's name (then turn off the active-window check). The display keys are not affected.
- The direct version checks its license key with our server when you activate it, each time the plugin starts, and about once a day while it runs. If it cannot reach the server, it keeps working for up to 44 days after the last successful check.
- If something does not work, email contact@gramshift.com and we will help.
