A faster Windows uploader, and a home for every Race Ninja app

· 2 min read

Race Ninja's Windows uploader is rebuilt and now lives on a new downloads page. It sends GoPro and DJI footage with hardware-accelerated, resumable uploads that run in the background, stitches long sessions split across chapter files into one analysis, and logs every kart setup change with Track Mode. iOS and Mac apps are coming soon.

You finish a session, pull the kart in, and the change you just made is still fresh in your head. That's exactly when you want to know whether it worked. Not three hours later on the drive home. The rebuilt Windows uploader is built for that moment.

What the uploader does now

Drag your GoPro or DJI footage in and it uploads in the background, hardware-accelerated and resumable. Lose wifi in the paddock? It picks up where it left off instead of starting over. It's fast enough to run an analysis between sessions, while the kart's still warm and the change still matters.

Long sessions, sorted

GoPro splits long recordings into separate chapter files. The uploader now joins those back together into one analysis, so a full stint or a long practice run comes through as a single lap-by-lap breakdown. No manual joining. No gaps.

Track Mode logs every change

Track Mode records your setup and every tweak you make through the day. Change the gearing or drop a tyre pressure, it's all logged. When the footage lands, Race Ninja can show you how those changes actually moved your pace.

A proper home for the apps

All of this now lives in one place. Head to race.ninja/downloads and the Windows uploader is right there, free to use with your account. It's also where the next two apps will land.

Because there's more coming. An iOS app, so you can upload straight from your phone in the paddock and get the analysis back between sessions. And a Mac version of the full uploader, native on macOS, with the same fast uploads and setup logging, built for your MacBook. Both are close.

The web platform still does the heavy analysis. The apps just get you there faster, your machine and the cloud each doing what they're best at. Grab the Windows uploader, point it at your next session, and see your laps before you've left the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I download the Race Ninja Windows uploader?
Head to race.ninja/downloads. The Windows uploader is under the Available Now card. It's free to use, you just need a Race Ninja account, and the download starts from your dashboard once you're logged in.
Which cameras does the uploader support?
GoPro and DJI. Drag the footage straight in and it uploads in the background. The original file's GPS and sensor data comes through intact, which is what powers your lap times and racing lines.
Does it handle long GoPro sessions that split into multiple files?
Yes. GoPro breaks long recordings into separate chapter files, and the uploader now joins them back into one analysis automatically. A full stint comes through as a single lap-by-lap breakdown with nothing missing.
What do I need to run it?
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. That's it. The current version is 1.3.0 and it updates itself when there's something new.
When are the iOS and Mac apps coming?
Both are close. The iOS app lets you upload from your phone in the paddock, and the Mac app is the full uploader native on macOS. Keep an eye on the downloads page, they'll show up there first.
