Tenths don't find themselves.

September 2026. FIA Karting World Championship, Le Mans. In a factory team's tent. Next heat in ten minutes. Forty drivers, one data engineer, time for two or three. And the rest? They go out on feel.

Below that, it's even worse. Juniors and club drivers get the onboard on a loop and a coach saying "brake later." Same mistake, next heat.

That's not good enough. Not for them. Not for my son. Alex is eight, and he races. I wasn't going to let him guess.

So I built racem8 — the missing engineer.

Onboard lap at Wackersdorf with the racem8 HUD: speed trace, delta -0.11 s, track map, and the analysis list showing BRAKE 5m EARLY

Your tenths are in there. Go take them.

In the beta. Today.

Only what we know works.

Where your time is hiding.
Every corner scored. The three with the most time to gain come first, with how much is in each.
The lap, with the truth over it.
Your onboard and your data in one view. No jumping between screens.
Your best against your last.
Lay them over each other in the Lab and see the exact metre they split.
Your GoPro is enough.
Park the kart, open the app: your laps come over Wi-Fi in about a minute. No logger, no SD card. Got an Alfano? That works too.
No camera? Fly the lap.
Lap timer only, and racem8 flies over the track along your line with the same HUD.

What's coming.

No dates. When it's ready, it's in your app.

Before you roll out.

Today's goal, today's conditions, the one corner to fix. Then the drills: a start-light trainer that catches every jump start, and an apex drill on your own track.

The fastest possible lap.

We take every track apart with maths and compute the fastest line a kart can physically drive. Every night, for every class. Then we build that lap, and you race against it.

Laps signed by the fastest.

For every track and class, a reference lap from a top driver. Their photo, their signature, their name on the line.

R1. racem8 in the kart.

Our own box on board. Position, data, and your MyChron or UniPro over CAN bus. Nothing to plug in at the track.

Indoor tracks. Our hardest problem.

A big part of rental karting happens under a roof, where GPS goes blind. We haven't cracked it. We will, and you'll hear it the day we do.

racem8 Sim.

Everything racem8 does on track, in the sim. Train at home. Prove it on Saturday.

Early prototype

It's a beta. Get in early.

Sign up and you're one of the first drivers. That means three things:

  • New things reach you first. Before anyone else, in your own account.
  • You talk to me. Small calls with the founder. You tell me what's missing.
  • Be our driver at your track. The first ones in become our ambassadors there.
