See where the lap time really goes
Stop guessing where the lap time goes. Traces puts your last lap and your reference lap side by side: every corner, every brake, every throttle input. So you know exactly where you're fast, where you're slow, and what to fix on the next run.
This app requires a premium subscription.Your lap and the faster one, side by side.
Put the video of your lap next to a faster lap's and watch them together. Both pictures stay at the same point on the track, with the time delta and the segments underneath, so you see exactly what the quicker driver does differently.
The opening sector: the time delta grows corner by corner while both laps play.
- Matched by distanceBoth videos follow the same metre of track, not the same second of the lap.
- Your replays, your referencesRecord a replay in the app, or open a video you already have, and link it to its lap.
- The data under the pictureDelta, speed, pedals and steering for both laps, segment by segment.
- Feedback beside itWhere you lose the time, and what to change first.

What you can do with Traces
Three views that turn your driving into something you can actually fix
Compare lap by lap
A live time difference between your current lap and your reference. The line dips when you're gaining, climbs when you're losing, so you see the exact corner that costs you the win.
- Live delta updates every metre
- Pick any lap as the reference
- Catch where you give time back
Master every corner
Your last lap and your reference lap drawn over the same track outline with segment deltas along the way. Zoom into any corner, walk it metre by metre, and see exactly where the line and speed diverge.
- Segment deltas along the racing line
- Sector-by-sector accuracy
- Zoom in on any corner
Fine tune your laps
Layer your last lap over the reference and watch speed, throttle, brake and gear traces line up side by side. When your trace drops below the reference, that's where you're losing: the exact input to fix on the next run.
- Speed, throttle, brake and gear traces overlaid
- See where your inputs miss the reference
- Chase your best lap input by input

Perfect for
Wherever you sit on the SR/DR ladder.
Daily Race grinders
Find that one corner that costs you the podium in Race C. Pick your best qualifying lap as the reference, drive, compare, fix. Repeat until the gap is gone.
Time trial hunters
Chasing a top-100 lap? Traces shows you which sector your hero lap is leaving on the table, and lets you keep your best of the best as a permanent benchmark.
Overlays
Keep an eye on your live traces (braking, throttle, gear) while you drive. See what your inputs look like in real time instead of guessing after the lap.
Tire temperatures
Watch your tires while you drive. Cold, hot, or in the window: that awareness is often the difference between saving a lap and binning one.
Start driving with the data the fast guys use.
Connect once, drive a lap, and Traces shows you exactly where it went right and where it didn't. Less guessing. More podiums.
