A Telemetry Overlay alternative that analyses the lap too

Overlay tools render gauges onto your footage and stop there. Race Ninja reads the same GPS data, then does the rest: lap times, sector splits, racing lines, coaching notes. And yes, overlays on your video as well.

How it works

01

Upload your footage

Straight from the browser. No desktop install, no project files, no render queue on your own machine.

02

The session gets analysed

Laps detected, sectors timed, lines drawn. The data behind the gauges becomes something you can act on.

03

Overlay and share

Pick your gauges in the video editor and render laps with speed, deltas and a track map baked in.

Where it goes further than an overlay

Analysis, not just display

A gauge shows your speed. Sector analysis shows the corner where your average lap gives away two tenths to your best one. That's the bit that makes you faster.

Coaching written against your footage

Notes in plain language, tied to the exact moment in the video. Watch the corner, read what to change.

Nothing to install or maintain

Browser upload, cloud processing. Your laptop stays free between sessions and there are no version updates to buy.

Leaderboards from verified footage

Every lap time on the board comes from real onboard video at your circuit. See where you actually stand.

Common questions from overlay tool users

Is there an alternative to Telemetry Overlay?

Race Ninja is one, and it comes at the problem from the other end. Telemetry Overlay is a desktop app you buy once, and it's very good at rendering gauges onto your footage. Race Ninja reads the same GPS from your camera but analyses the session too: lap times, sector splits, racing lines and coaching, with overlays included rather than being the whole product.

Can Race Ninja put telemetry overlays on my video?

Yes. Speed, lap time, a track map, sector deltas and more, rendered onto your laps in the video editor. You pick the gauges you want and where they sit.

What's the actual difference between an overlay tool and an analysis platform?

An overlay tool makes your video show what happened. An analysis platform tells you why. A speed gauge shows 62 km/h into turn 3; the analysis shows your quickest lap carried 65 through the same corner, and points at where the difference came from.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser. Upload the footage and the processing happens on our side, so there's no render tying up your laptop after a track day.

Which cameras work?

GoPros with GPS switched on (HERO13, 11, 10 and 9 among them, but not the HERO12, which has no GPS) and DJI Osmo Action cameras paired with the GPS remote.
