TEAMS — FOR ACADEMIES AND ANYONE COACHING A ROSTER Eight drivers on eight phones is eight problems. Teams puts the whole roster on one engine. • One roster — up to 15 active drivers, one owner, up to 4 coaches • A real profile per driver: race class, kart number, guardian and contact details, your notes, and their whole history with you • Young drivers need no account — add a name and start logging. They can claim the profile later, and every session comes with it • Download the karts on one device and tag who drove; drivers with their own account share automatically • Unlimited team session history, plus your team's branding on exported clips • Coaches see the roster, a driver only ever sees themselves — fixed policy, not a per-team setting Team 15 is $99/month or $990/year, bought in the app by the team owner.
