If you’re asking how to show standings tower in iRacing, the quick answer is: enable the scoring/broadcast overlay or open the session scoring panel. You’re in the right place — below I explain what’s happening and give clear, safe steps you can follow inside the sim.

Quick Answer — how to show standings tower in iracing

The standings tower is the on-screen scoring/broadcast overlay that shows positions, laps, and gaps. To restore it, open the Session/Scoring panel or switch to a broadcast/spectator view and make sure the in-game broadcast/overlay UI is enabled in Options. If it’s still missing, check UI scaling and restart iRacing.

What’s really going on

There are two things people call the “standings tower”:

The in-sim scoreboard overlay (the HUD-style box showing positions, laps, gaps).
The physical trackside tower model in external/camera views.

Most of the time you’re missing the scoreboard overlay. That overlay can be hidden by UI settings, disabled for certain camera modes, or clipped by UI scaling. In practice/qualifying you may not get the same overlay as in a race or spectator/broadcast mode.

Step-by-step fix

Open the Session/Scoring panel: while in the session, look for the Session or Scoring button on the screen (top or side toolbar). That panel lists positions and gaps even if the tower overlay is hidden.
Switch to a broadcast/spectator camera: the full standings overlay often appears in Broadcast/TV views. Change camera with the camera menu if you’re a spectator or in replay.
Check Options → User Interface / Graphics: enable any setting named “Show Broadcast Overlay”, “Show Standings”, “HUD elements”, or similar. Exact wording varies by version. Turn it on, apply, then re-enter the session.
Reset UI scaling: if HUD elements are off-screen, go to Options → Graphics or UI scaling and set to 100% (or a lower scale). Apply and restart iRacing if needed.
Restart the session or iRacing: if toggling options doesn’t help, leave the session and rejoin or restart the sim after saving your settings; that often clears display glitches.

If you still don’t see it, try a different session type (join a short race or spectate a public session) to confirm whether it’s a session-specific limitation.

Extra Tips / Checklist

Make sure you’re in a race or spectating: some overlays are reduced in certain practice modes.
If you use multiple monitors, check the overlay isn’t appearing on another display.
Update graphics drivers and iRacing to avoid rendering bugs.
If using custom HUD mods or overlays, disable them to rule out conflicts.
For replays: enable “Broadcast Overlay” in Replay/Broadcast settings.

FAQs

Q: Where is the standings tower button in iRacing?
A: There’s no single universal button name. Look for Session, Scoring, or Broadcast/TV options on the in-game toolbar or in Options → User Interface/Graphics.

Q: Why don’t I see the standings tower in practice?
A: Practice and some qualifying modes use reduced overlays. The full standings overlay is more common in races or spectator/broadcast views.

Q: The tower shows only in replays — why not live?
A: That usually means the broadcast overlay is enabled for replays but disabled for live sessions. Toggle the overlay in Options and rejoin the session.

Q: Can I customize what the standings tower shows?
A: Yes — the Session/Scoring and broadcast settings control columns (laps, gaps, intervals). Look in Options → Broadcast/Scoring for customization.

Short wrap-up

The standings tower is normally just the scoring/broadcast overlay. Open the Session/Scoring panel, enable broadcast/overlay UI in Options, and check UI scaling. If needed, restart the sim. Try those steps and you’ll have positions, laps and gaps visible again within a minute.
