Race Ninja Blog
Motorsport insights, tutorials, product updates, and karting tips from the team.
Start here: what counts as karting data and how to get it without a logger.
Your Alfano knows your RPM. Your GoPro video can too
Upload your Alfano session next to your GoPro footage and Race Ninja puts engine RPM and temperatures against every lap you drove. No cables, no desktop software, nothing to line up by hand.
No GPS on your camera? Upload your RaceChrono file instead
If your camera didn't record GPS, you can now bring your own. Upload a RaceChrono CSV alongside the video and you get lap times, overlays and coaching as normal.
Take the Perfect Lap with you
The Perfect Lap is now yours to download, and one click puts it side by side with a lap you'd call typical. Four upgrades, all from one racer's very sharp eye.
Some sessions deserve Pro. Now you can unlock just those
Pick the session that matters and turn on the full Pro toolkit for it, no monthly plan. Unlock a free analysis for £1.99, or pay the 40p difference on one you already funded with Clubman.
Got a question or a lap to show off? Find us on Discord
We've opened a Discord server for Race Ninja. It's where you share your sessions and get help from drivers who actually race.
Your Race Ninja, your way
Race Ninja is your platform, so now it can look like yours. Pick a brand colour in your profile and the whole site wears it, from your dashboard to your lap charts.
Your kart fades near the end of a session. Now you can see exactly why
Your kart is rarely as fast on lap 12 as it was on lap 3. Race Ninja's new lap-by-lap performance graph shows whether it's the engine, the tyres or the track losing grip, so you can stop guessing and start tuning.
Your track's not on the list? Add it yourself, free
Race at a track we don't have yet? Add it yourself from your GoPro or DJI footage, no logger required, and your first analysis is free.
Daytona DMAX, Sodi and N35 are on the Race Ninja leaderboards
Daytona DMAX, Sodi and N35 just became race classes on Race Ninja. If you race Daytona's karts, your fastest verified lap can now go on the leaderboard for your track and class.
Where am I losing time? How to find the corners that cost you
Every guide says brake later and hit the apex. None of them tell you which corner is actually costing you. Your own footage does. Here's how to read it and find your next few tenths.
Every track has a champion now. Think it should be you?
Track Champions are live: the fastest verified lap in every class, on every track page, straight from onboard footage. Your footage stays private. Your time goes public.
GoPro Hero 11 GPS for racing: the value pick for telemetry
