Setting Up Pits n’ Giggles

Getting started with Pits n’ Giggles is super simple. Just follow the steps below and you’ll be up and running in no time.

This guide covers setup for all modern F1 games including F1 25, with built-in support for F1 telemetry and F1 25 UDP telemetry.

Go to www.pitsngiggles.com and download the latest version of the app. Pits n’ Giggles is a lightweight F1 telemetry dashboard that requires no installation-just run and drive.

📁 2. Create a Folder for the App

Create a new folder anywhere on your system (e.g., Desktop, Documents, etc.), and copy the downloaded executable into that folder.

Example:

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\pits_n_giggles\

🚀 3. Run the App

Double-click the executable to launch it. By default, Pits n’ Giggles listens on UDP port 20777-this is the default port used by most F1 telemetry tools, including the official Codemasters F1 games.

If you don’t have anything else using that port, there’s no need to change it.

If you do need to change it, click the Settings button on the Pits n’ Giggles homepage and enter your desired port number:

You should now see the app open in your browser or a message confirming it’s running. It’s now ready to receive live F1 25 UDP telemetry data.

🎮 4. Launch Your F1 Game

Start your F1 game-Pits n’ Giggles supports F1 2021 through F1 25 (and future releases, as long as they follow the Codemasters UDP spec).

Enable UDP Telemetry in Game:

Go to Game Options > Settings > Telemetry Settings
Set the following:
- UDP Telemetry: On
- UDP Port: 20777 (or the port you set in the app)
- UDP Send Rate: 60Hz
- UDP Format: Choose your game version: 2023, 2024 or 2025
- Your Telemetry: Public
- Show Names: On (this enables driver names in the dashboard)

These settings ensure your game streams real-time F1 telemetry data to Pits n’ Giggles over your local network.
