Install software

Download the latest RaceCapture app for your platform here: https://podium.live/software

Also install the RaceCapture App on your phone or tablet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autosportlabs.racecapture

Connect to RaceCapture

WiFi (Android/iOS)

By default, RaceCapture will setup a WiFi network named 'RaceCapture XXX' (XXX will be a random number). Connect to this WiFi network, then open the RaceCapture App.

USB (Windows/Mac/Linux)

Plug the USB cable into RaceCapture and your computer. Windows 10, Mac and Linux computers do not need any additional software to connect to RaceCapture.

Windows XP, 7, 8
  • Download and unzip drivers: Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Drivers V2
  • Plug RaceCapture in to the computer.
  • If prompted to install a driver, direct Windows to the folder where you unzipped the RaceCapture/Pro drivers.
  • If not prompted, manually update driver:
    • Open Windows Device Manager and find the Ports (COM and LPT) section. RaceCapture/Pro should be listed there, possibly with a yellow (!) over the icon.
    • Right click and select 'Update Driver'.
    • Follow the instructions and direct Windows to the folder where you unzipped the RaceCapture/Pro drivers.


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.
