The bridge does two independent jobs. Telemetry is local-only; the ready-check hotkeys talk to your account. Set up whichever you want.
RaceReadyCheckBridge.exe (tray icon; telemetry auto-starts).127.0.0.1, Port 9999. (Any free port works — just set the same number in bridge.config.json.)Only for the in-game hotkeys; telemetry doesn't use it. Saved to your account — paste it into the bridge.
The first run may trigger Windows SmartScreen: "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway. It's safe — the bridge isn't code-signed (certificates are costly for a free tool), but it's open-source and you can build it yourself. The warning fades as more people run the same release.
It is not a keylogger, and it does not touch the game. It uses Windows RegisterHotKey for only the keys you configure (default F6/F8/F9/F10/F11) — it cannot see any other keystroke. It never injects into Forza, reads game memory, or sends input into the game; the hotkeys trigger website actions (ready up, roll) and telemetry uses Forza's own official Data Out feed. It runs without admin rights. The only thing sent to the server is a hotkey action (e.g. ready_toggle) plus your per-device token, which you can revoke anytime. Telemetry stays on 127.0.0.1 and is never sent to the server. The app is open source — read it before running.
There's no installer and nothing runs at startup unless you add it yourself. To remove the bridge, quit it from the tray icon, then delete RaceReadyCheckBridge.exe and its bridge.config.json. If you linked your account, revoke the device token from the section above too.

Team roles. RaceReadyCheck Bridge is maintained by a single developer, Matthew Franks (@Angelwraith), who is the sole author, reviewer, and approver. Every release is built by GitHub Actions directly from the public source repository, and each signing request is approved manually.
Privacy. Telemetry stays on your PC (127.0.0.1) and is never sent to any server. The only data the
bridge transmits is an in-game hotkey action plus your per-device token, and only when you choose to use the
ready-check hotkeys — see the full privacy policy. You can revoke the token at any time.
