Sim Racing Dashboards You Can Customize or Build Yourself

A ready-made dashboard shows what its designer thought mattered; the filter here is the tools that let you decide. Every tool below describes customization on its own site — a studio for building your own dashboards, a built-in dashboard editor, a custom dashboard designer, 200+ customizable widgets, or a dashboard it calls customizable outright — so apps that only offer fixed, game-styled or pre-designed dashboard variants are left out however good they look, and the second-screen guide covers those. Read each card for what the building actually costs, because the editor is rarely the free part: one free version caps you at 3 widgets per page until a one-time Pro purchase, one sells its dashboard designer as an in-app subscription, one free demo shows only RPM, speed and gear until you buy a game's full data, one is subscription-only with a demo rather than a free tier, and one is a free download whose full features sit behind a choose-your-own-price perpetual licence. Three of them also point to a community library or design sharing on their own sites, which is the shortcut if you would rather adapt a layout than start from a blank page.
