1) Download
You can download it for free here:
👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/felipecarisio/extras
Just type $0.00 and hit download.
It comes as a .zip file, so you’ll need to extract it first.
The app includes a folder that is essential for it to work properly — make sure not to move or delete anything inside it.
2) Interface
Driver:
Type your name exactly as it appears in the game. The app will automatically convert it to lowercase to help prevent typing errors and make it easier to identify your car. If you did it right, you should see the following image with your name:
Game Path: Since the telemetry needs to run before the game, I added this field so you can set the path to your NR2003 executable. When you hit the Start button, the app will first launch the telemetry, and then the game, in the correct order.
Make sure to enter the full and correct path, including the file extension.
Example:C:\Papyrus\NASCAR Racing 2003 Season\NR2003_FAST.exe
Stop Button:
Use this if you need to reset the telemetry. It's helpful when something goes wrong before the game launches. Keep in mind:
It will not close the game.
It won’t work if the telemetry crashes but the game is still running.
It’s just a convenient way to restart the app before launching the game.
Tabs & Widgets:
The tabs are organized into categories to keep everything clean and easy to use.
To use a widget, simply check the box to display it. Uncheck it to hide.
DEBUG Messages:
You will get those debug messages:
These messages will let you know if the Telemetry is working properly and whether your driver has been detected.
Important:
It's totally normal for the message to say "Driver: Not Found" before you start the game — the app can’t find your name if NR2003 isn’t running yet.
However, if you're already in the game and it still says "Not Found", then something's not working as expected — double-check your driver name spelling and make sure the game is running correctly.
3) Shortcuts
ALT + F11 – Hides or shows the widgets. If a widget is still showing after pressing the shortcut, just press it again and it should work properly.
ALT + F12 – If you're playing in fullscreen mode and the widgets are not displaying on top of the game, press ALT + F12 to bring them to the front.
Important things to keep in mind:
The app must be running before launching NR2003. Always open Dashgoody first.
If Dashgoody crashes, you’ll need to restart both the app and NR2003.Some widgets use your driver name to identify your car, while others don’t.
If your name is not spelled exactly right, the My Race widget won’t work.If you don’t see your name when entering a session, it probably didn’t match correctly.
Double-check for typos in the name field.If you’re playing NR2003 in fullscreen and the widgets don’t appear over the game,
press ALT + F12 to force them to the top.ALT + F11 hides/unhides the widgets.
Sometimes I use this to clean up leftover visuals from the Speedometer.You can move the widgets around freely, and the app will remember the last positions you set.
The app resets every time you restart or reset a session.
It won’t reset if you simply quit the session — it’ll keep the current values.
You can always hide everything with ALT + F11 if needed.
And that’s pretty much it! Enjoy Dashgoody and have some great races! 🏁
