• Live-stream your racing to Podium so your pit crew, friends and fans can follow your racing, live.

When you're at a Race Track

When you arrive at the track the RaceCapture app will automatically detect the track you're at and automatically configure the start/finish line so lap times can be generated.

Configure track

If RaceCapture does not have a track set, when you select the Dashboard view you will be prompted to set a track:

Search for and select your track, then click/tap the checkbox to set the track.

You can also change your track in the Tracks section in the Configuration screen:

Setup OBDII (optional)

To setup OBDII channels, use the OBDII screen. Turn on OBDII channels and click the + button at the bottom to add a channel. Select the channel name and sample rate. Note: Due to the design of the OBD2 protocol, individual channels (PIDs) are requested sequentially, so individual channel rates decrease based on the number of channels enabled.

Save Config

Once configured, press the Save button on the bottom right to save your configuration. Now hit the track!
