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.
Can You Trust a Karting Analytics Platform with Your GoPro Data?
You're uploading GoPro footage with GPS data in it. It knows where you were, when, and how fast. So who's looking at it? Short answer. Nobody but you.
F1-Grade Analytics for Grassroots Motorsport. Here's How We Price It.
The goal from day one has been simple. F1-grade analytics for grassroots motorsport. Built for club racers, karting families, and track day drivers. From a single GoPro. Here's how pricing works and why.
Custom Telemetry Overlays. Any Lap. Any Session.
The video editor in Race Ninja just got a serious upgrade. Build fully customisable telemetry overlays on your GoPro or DJI footage. Speed, braking points, GPS trace, g-forces. Style it how you want, export it, post it. All from the track between sessions.
Head to Head. Two Laps. Side by Side. Every Difference Exposed
Pick any two laps from your session. Head to Head plays them side by side with synchronised video and telemetry. You see exactly where one lap gained over the other. Where you braked earlier. Where you carried more speed. Where that tenth was hiding.
Between Sessions. Uploaded, Analysed, Reviewed, and Posted to Socials
The session ends, the footage gets uploaded, and by the time the kart is checked over the analysis is ready. Every lap cut, telemetry organised, Perfect Lap stitched together. Reviewed, debriefed, and posted to socials. All before the next session started.
One Season of Data-Driven Karting. The Numbers.
32 seconds behind last in his first race. By end of season, collecting trophies. Here's what tracking every session with GoPro telemetry looked like.
You Don't Need Expensive Hardware for Track Day Data
A Garmin Catalyst costs £800-900. An AiM Solo 2 DL, £500+. But the GoPro on your kart is already recording telemetry every session. GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope. You're just not using it.
Your Next Fastest Lap Already Exists
Race Ninja takes your fastest sector times and stitches them into one lap. You already drove every piece of it. Every braking point, every apex, every corner exit. You just didn't do it all on the same lap. That gap? That's your free time.
Why I Built Race Ninja
My son finished 32 seconds behind last place in his first competitive kart race. A year later, he was pushing top 10. This is the story of how data closed that gap and why I built Race Ninja.
