Read full descriptionHide full description
Vetkuro is lap timer and track day telemetry app for drivers who want more than just a time. Sector splits, telemetry overlays, GPS racing line and OBD-II channel logging - all working from the phone in your pocket, with the gear you already own. Whether you run track days at your local circuit, compete in karting, autocross or time attack, or just want to understand why your lap times aren't improving, Vetkuro gives you the data layer that makes the difference. GPS LAP TIMER & SECTOR TIMES Vetkuro starts timing the moment you cross the start/finish line. Each lap is split into sectors so you can see not just your total time but where you are gaining and losing against your best. Compare sector-by-sector across unlimited laps and sessions. TELEMETRY THAT MAKES SENSE Unlike basic lap timer apps that give you a number and nothing else, Vetkuro logs full telemetry channels: speed, braking, throttle, G-force and heart rate. Overlay them lap-over-lap. Find your braking point. Find your exit speed. Find the tenth you have been leaving on the table. GPS RACING LINE Your GPS racing line is plotted on a track map after every session. See where you braked too early, where you ran wide on exit, where your line through sector 2 cost you. Data, not guesswork. OBD-II ENGINE DATA Connect a compatible OBD-II adapter and Vetkuro logs engine channels alongside your GPS data. Supported adapters: Carista, vLinker MC+, NEXAS NexLink. HEART RATE MONITORING Pair any Bluetooth LE heart-rate strap or your Apple Watch and your BPM is recorded alongside speed, GPS and OBD channels. Track your physical response to on-track stress. HARDWARE SUPPORT Vetkuro is designed to work without any add-ons, your phone's GPS is enough to get started. When you want higher accuracy, pair it with supported external hardware. BUILT FOR EVERY TRACK DISCIPLINE Track days. Karting. Autocross. Time attack. Club racing. Vetkuro works at any circuit where you can define a start/finish line. TURN DATA INTO SPEED Download Vetkuro and arrive at your next track day with a data plan for every sector.

Trakio — GPS Lap Timer for Track Days Trakio is a focused lap timing app built for drivers who want clean data and zero distraction on track day. Open the app, select your circuit, and drive — Trakio handles the rest. Pre-Session Checklist Before you head out, Trakio confirms you're ready: GPS signal strength, battery level, and start/finish line configuration. No surprises on your out lap. Auto Circuit Detection Trakio uses your location to automatically identify your nearest circuit and pre-select it for you. Check the weather conditions and wind at the track, then name your session and go. GPS Lap Timing Laps are timed automatically as you cross the start/finish line — no buttons to press while driving. Run it on your iPhone's GPS, or pair a Bluetooth receiver for a faster, sharper data stream. External GPS Support Connect a Qstarz BL-1000GT / BL-818GT or a RaceBox Mini, Mini S or Micro, and Trakio times your laps from a 10-25Hz stream instead of the roughly 1Hz your phone provides. Crossings land where you actually crossed and sector splits hold up. Circuits Around the World Search in English or Japanese, filter by country, sort by what's nearest, and star the ones you run most. Every circuit is drawn with its real outline, so you know a track by its shape. Session Analytics After each session, dive into your data: - Best lap time - Top speed - Lap consistency score - Theoretical best lap (your best sectors combined) - Lap delta trend — see if you were improving or fading - Full lap-by-lap breakdown with gap to your best GPS Trace on Satellite Map Each session shows your smoothed GPS line overlaid on a satellite map of the circuit, with start/finish and sector lines marked. Session History Your session history is stored on-device. Search and filter by all sessions, recent, or your best runs. Rename sessions, log your car, add notes, and track your progress across every visit to every circuit. Global Leaderboard Optional, and entirely up to you. Post a lap to the leaderboard for a circuit and see where it lands against other drivers. Nothing is published unless you choose to share it. Share Your Results Share your session highlights as an Instagram Story — choose a template, add a background photo, and post your best lap straight from the app. Trakio Pro Trakio is free to try with 3 saved sessions. Trakio Pro unlocks unlimited saved sessions, PDF lap time sheets, and CSV lap exports. Available as a yearly auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal, and is managed in your App Store account. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Designed for the Track - Dark mode for early morning sessions - Available in English and Japanese - No account required — sessions, laps and notes stay on your device. Only a leaderboard time you choose to share leaves it. Circuit outlines are derived from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0.
