[API] Is there a way to know what car you're driving?

[Yann]

Hi there,
I've been working on an overlay using both SharedMemoryMapPlugin64.dll and the REST API, but I can't find a way to know what car I am driving. The closest I got was mVehicleName in rF2VehicleScoring, but this contains the Team's name, not really the car's manufacturer (like Mc Laren, Ferarri, ect...)
I figured I could cross reference with http://localhost:6397/rest/sessions/getAllVehicles but that only works if I use standard teams, not custom teams we have in online racing since that endpoint seems to return a static list.

Any suggestion?

You'll also need to use http://localhost:6397/rest/race/car in order to get the car name

Oh that's perfect, thank you very much!
Btw, how did you discover those endpoints? Did you spy on the official overlay to see what ports/endpoints it was connecting to, or is there a list somewhere?

Full API :

http://localhost:6397/swagger/index.html

and you can try requests.
