GhostGauge on your Android phone, tablet, or PC. Open it and link it to your account.
The app puts its address on screen. Type that into Forza’s Data Out.
Every race records itself. Nothing to press, and the screen can stay off.
Any Windows PC, Android phone or tablet — it need not be the one running the game.
The menu then reads Signed in and asks for a Race Driver name — the name your times race under. Codes never contain I, L, O or U, so those are a 1 or a 0.
GhostGauge is not code-signed yet, so expect a warning before it installs.
Windows will say unknown publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway.
A signed installer is on the roadmap.
GhostGauge is not on the Play Store, so the first time you open the file, Android asks permission to install from this source. The source is the app you opened it with — your browser, or your files app — not GhostGauge.
Allow it, then install. You can switch that permission back off afterward.
GhostGauge holds up a card headed WAITING FOR FORZA DATA OUT carrying an IP ADDRESS and a PORT. If it lists more than one address, any of them works.
On the device running the game: Settings → HUD & Gameplay → Telemetry → Data Out.
Back out to save. GhostGauge turns LIVE within seconds.
Your races are waiting under My Races.
Same steps, but both devices must be on the same network — not a guest network. If your router offers AP isolation or client isolation, turn it off.
On Windows, that PC must accept incoming UDP 29001 and TCP 29101 — GhostGauge asks once on first run, so say yes.
Laid out for a 15-inch monitor or a 10-inch tablet, with a phone version too. None of it is required — it records with nothing on screen.
GhostGauge reads the older Forza telemetry format too — if the game offers a choice of Data Out format, pick Dash.
Forza sends Data Out to one place only. If another telemetry app already has it, GhostGauge gets nothing.
Re-read the address too — a router that hands out addresses automatically can change it after a reboot. The FAQ runs the rest of the checks.
