Forza Hot Lap

Features
Read full description

Forza Hot Lap is a lap-time and tuning companion built for one thing: proving your tune actually made the car faster. Design your own custom courses, circuits, and drift zones. Log every run, lap time or drift score, car, class, performance index, and tune and watch it climb (or fall) on a leaderboard built specifically for that course. Built for the tuning loop: - Create unlimited custom courses across three layout types: Circuit, Point-to-Point, and Drag - Log runs with a precise, structured lap-time entry, no guessing at formatting - Full leaderboards per course, filterable by performance class (D through X) and drivetrain (AWD / RWD / FWD) - Track which tune produced which result: Time Attack, Circuit, Drift, Touge, and more, or add your own - Save an Event Lab share code with any course, so you always have it on hand to revisit or share with friends - Comes with a real example course pre-loaded and ready to drive on day one - Edit or delete any run at any time; rankings update instantly - Full run history is kept, not just a "top 100" every attempt is preserved Built to respect your data: - 100% local. Nothing you log ever leaves your device unless you choose to export it yourself. - No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. - Full data export/import so your data is always yours to back up or move. Forza Hot Lap is free to use, with no ads and nothing required to unlock any feature. If you'd like to support ongoing development, optional tips are available from the Settings screen. Entirely optional, never required to use any part of the app. Forza Hot Lap is an independent, unofficial companion app built by a solo developer who wanted a better way to track tuning progress. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation, Turn 10 Studios, or Playground Games.
